Toledo at Kent State

Both of these teams have been red hot as Toledo got off to a horrible start at 4-8 but has rebounded by winning eight of their last nine. Kent started just 7-7 but has now run off seven of eight. There are three big keys to this contest. The first is Toledo's inability to rebound as they have been -8 over their last eight games. The second is Kent plays tough defense at home by limiting opponents to just 39% shooting and only 30% from beyond the arc. The last and perhaps most important factor is the Kent defense forces 20 turnovers a game at home. Toledo has had some problems holding onto the ball as they have had a game against UTEP where they turned the ball over 27 times and then again vs. Central Michigan Toledo turned it over 20 times. The Kent defense is the difference in this one.
