Western Michigan at Kent State

Neither of these teams are playing good basketball right now. Kent St. is just 3-6 in their last nine games, and has slipped to the .500 mark. They have lacked effort on the defensive end of the court as eight of their last nine opponents have scored 70 or more points against them. Western Michigan is 1-5 in their last six games, and after covering seven straight games, they have failed to cover their last three in row. They are a good shooting team that connects on 45% of their shots and 35% from deep and should find some open looks vs. a Kent St. team that hasn't put much effort forth on the defensive end, and has allowed opponents to shoot 47% in their home games. I think Western Michigan can score well enough to hand inside a rather large number. Make the play on Western Michigan.
