After looking into this Kent State team a little bit, they appear to be more of a quality opponent than most of us are probably giving them credit for. They've beaten Vanderbilt who just beat an overrated #18 ASU team by 16 and also won @usc. Kent State's 2 losses are against Liberty and in their last game @louisville. They score a lot of points and average over 81 PPG, however they also give up their fair share of points too.
This game could be a fast-paced, high scoring affair and should not be taken lightly. We rebound better and have shot the ball slightly better than they have but they also force more TOs than our defense has so far this season and we have had issues taking care of the ball in the last 3 games. They're leading scorer is G Jalen Avery and he averages 14.8 PPG, however he is only shooting 38.5% so far on the season. If we can take care of the ball and force them to take contested shots we should be just fine, but it will not be a game we can just show up and expect to win.
