Cleveland State @ Kent State
The Flashes and Vikings square off on Saturday at the MAC Center. Tip time is set for 7:00PM. Cleveland State enters with a 2-4 record and is coming off a three point win over Arkansas State. The Vikings also defeated Coppin State earlier this season. The losses include Akron, Rutgers (70-38), East Carolina and Central Connecticut State.

CSU is paced by four double digit scorers including Kenny Carpenter (14.2ppg), Dontel Highsmith (12.8), Stefan Kenic (10.3ppg) and Bobby Word (10ppg).

Carpenter, a 6'5 senior from Detroit is also averaging 7.8 rebounds per game. Kenic is an interesting player. The 6'9 freshman from Belgrade, Serbia has completed at the national level in his home country. He appears to be a stretch four, who could create a match up problem for KSU.

Not sure this will be as heavily attended as Kent/Cleveland State matchups of the past considering that Wisconsin plays in the Big Ten Championship game at 8:00PM. But regardless of the crowd, it is always nice to get these bragging rights for the year.

Not only is this an opportunity for a home victory, but this is a Cleveland State team that Kent should beat. Akron, who I thought was in rebuilding mode, beat them by 10 at the JAR earlier this year. And while I know nothing about Central Connecticut State, I know that CSU lost to Central Connecticut State.
No matter where the current KSU squad is in their development, I have to think the Flashes have more talent on the floor than the Vikes.

A couple of things to watch. Will Walker play tomorrow? If not, that could change things for Kent State. It would be nice to see Mitch Peterson find his offensive form and for the Flashes to take advantage of CSU lack of depth in the post. Also would be nice to see De La Rosa stay out of foul trouble and clean up the glass for 27+ solid minutes.

Kent State 77
Cleveland State 63
the game will played in front of 2,784 fans at the MAC Center.
