 Kent State vs. South Dakota State
The Golden Flashes return to the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center on Friday night to host the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. SDSU enters the game with 3-4 record that includes wins over Boise State, Valpo and Saint Bonaventure. They have been defeated by Akron, Arkansas, Stephen Fitzgerald Austin and James Madison.
This should be a good test for the good guys. The Jackrabbits spread the ball around nicely on offense with five players averaging between 8 and 12 points per game. Their leading scorer is 6'3 sophomore Zeke Mayo. The product of Lawrence Kansas scores just over 12 points per night and leads the team in rebounding grabbing 7.4 boards a game.
Another Jackrabbit to watch is William Kyle. The 6'9, 215 pound forward averages 10 points on 66% shooting. He also leads the teams in blocks with 9 on the year. The other "big" that could give Kent State some trouble is 6'8, 240 pound Matt Dentlinger. 6'8/240 is a pretty nice frame at the mid major level.
After consulting with the analytics department, the unanimous opinion is that if Kent State plays good defense, values possessions and puts forth the type of effort that had them toe to toe with the number one team in the nation, the Flashes will improve to 6-2 ahead of Monday's matchup with Gonzaga in Spokane.
I say they will!
Kent State 74
SDSU 59
Sincere Carry and Giovanni Santiago combine for 40 points
