The Bobcats are coming off a tough loss at James A. Rhodes Arena and do not want to find themselves 1-3 in the MAC, especially with a home loss. This is one of three Wednesday games that could set the early tone in the East.

Akron travels to Buffalo. A win for UA would guarantee the Zips at least a share of first place after the first East swing. The Bulls are reeling (I think its that trolls fault personally) but could do the rest of the division a favor with a home win. I think they will and Zeke will be on the bench for long stretches with foul trouble. Buffalo 68-60.

Miami is at BG. The Redhawks showed some grit knocking off Buffalo after losing yet another player before the game. I think BG needs this game more than Miami seeing as its at the Stroh Center. BG 74-68.

As for the good guys, their hand will be full at the Convocation Center. From what I saw on TV Saturday my opinion of OU hasn't really changed. Although I give Baltic and Keely credit for going after Marshall, they were overmatched in the paint. But they are active and tough. So keeping Greene out of foul trouble is key number one. I think if he is on and gets some help on the boards the Flashes will be in great shape.

I do like the Bobcat back-court, especially DJ Cooper. He isn't afraid to shoot and he isn't afraid to drive to the hoop. He has a couple of nice wing guys that seem to open things up for him well. The nice thing is that I don't think Porrini will give him an inch. dannyb, you have me convinced! Kent State 67-62. 14 a piece from Greene and Holt.

Kent State 3-1
Akron 3-1
Buffalo 2-2
BG 2-2
Miami 1-3
