Premium Pick

Akron is 10-0 at home but 4-3 on the road. It's the second straight road game for the Zips after failing to cover at Northern Illinois. It's also their third road game in four contests. Kent State is 4-4 in the MAC, in fifth place, and can pick up some ground with a good showing at home against top-ranked Akron. Kent State is No. 1 in the MAC defensively in points surrendered (64.2 per game), in shooting allowed (.409), and in 3-point defense (.304). They're also fifth in free-throw shooting and second in turnover margin. Kent State is playing its second straight at home after dominating Bowling Green, 75-57, with the wagering value on the home team to win the game. Play Kent State on the moneyline.
