Kent State Looks For More Than Just a Bye When They Play The Akron Zips
Kent State Looks For More Than Just a Bye When They Play The Akron ZipsKent State has had a successful season up to this point, but the goal is to finish on a high note with a victory over the Akron Zips.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the College Basketball and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

The Golden Flashes clinched a bye for next week’s Mid-American Conference Tournament, but they have far bigger goals in mind. A win over Bowling Green on Tuesday night moved Kent State into a half-game lead over Miami in the East Division with an 11-4 record. Miami plays at Buffalo on Wednesday night.

The Golden Flashes finish the regular season Friday night at home against archrival Akron, while Miami hosts Ohio.

Coach Geno Ford has something to be pleased about. The Golden Flashes won’t have to play in the first round, which will be held at on-campus sites on March 8. Kent will advance directly to the quarterfinals in Cleveland two days later.

In addition to winning the East, Kent can also win its second straight regular-season conference championship if things fall the right way over the next few days.

The regular-season champion is assured of a bid to the National Invitational Tournament if it doesn’t win in Cleveland.

This gives Kent State some serious motivation to win this game. The two rivals opened conference play on Jan. 8 and Akron emerged with a 65-62 win. Kent needs to do a better job against 7-foot center Zeke Marshall, who scored 20 points and had 11 rebounds.

The home team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings and the Zips are 0-4 ATS In the last four meeting. The Golden Flashes take down the Akron Zips and win a big game.
