Two good teams, but the Kent State Golden Flashes have been more impressive, and they’re at home here, where they win by an average of 23 points and hold teams to 37.9 percent shooting. Both clubs have been covering machines. Again, the difference is Kent State is at home and wins with a little more style than Toledo. I’ll lay the reasonable number, but this will be a fun game to watch regardless.
