The Buffalo Bulls and Kent State Golden Flashes face off on Tuesday in a college basketball showdown at the Kent State MAC Center.
The Buffalo Bulls haven’t lived up to the expectations yet this season and their biggest issue has been the inconsistency in their game. Buffalo has won two of their last three games, but they did struggle in their last game against Bowling Green.They were five point favorites but ended up losing by seven points. Overall this season the offense has been very strong for this team,so the offense only scoring 69 points was a bit of a shock. On the season, Buffalo is averaging 81.5 points per game while the defense is giving up 76.5 points per game. Buffalo is shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from behind the three point line.
On the other side of this matchup is the Kent State Golden Flashes who come into this game with a 6-3 record overall but coming into this game they have won two games in a row. Each of the last three games they have also covered the spread. On the season, Kent State is averaging 80.4 points per game while their defense is giving up 72.2 points per game. Kent State is shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from behind the three point line. Forward Danny Pippen has been the best player for Kent State averaging 21 points per game while shooting 44.5 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from deep.
Kent State is 9-2 against the spread in their last 11 games overall. The over is 7-2 in Kent State’s last nine games against the MAC. The over is 9-3 in Kent STate’s last 12 games overall. The under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings played between the two teams. The underdog is 7-3 against the spread in the last ten meetings played between the two teams.
Buffalo struggled in the last game, but I think they are going to turn it around in this game. Look for Buffalo to run up the score. Kent STate isn’t going to keep up, and they will come away with a cover of the spread.
