I’ll probably lean toward Kent State. The Flashes put up a nice offensive effort in their latest game versus Cleveland State, even though they shot a tepid 26.1 percent (6-of-23) from outside. Kent State managed 52.5 percent from the field overall with a 48-20 edge on points in the paint and 17 team assists. That gives the Flashes 86 or more points in every game so far, and they’ve won three in a row—but they’ve all been fairly close finishes.

As for Wright State, on Saturday they put up a nice effort versus Radford and won handily. It was a nice bounce-back after the double-digit loss to Toledo this past week—the Raiders’ second consecutive 10-point defeat, in fact. Wright State will be trouble here if they can keep the scoring up. Should be an interesting matchup.
