Bowling Green at Kent State 3/3/20 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Bowling Green Falcons are set to visit MAC Center in Kent, Ohio for a MAC clash against the Kent State Golden Flashes. The Bowling Green Falcons come into this matchup with a 21-8 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Miami (OH) RedHawks, 73-55. Leading the way for the Bowling Green Falcons was junior guard Daeqwon Plowden as he recorded 26 points and 11 rebounds. Senior guard Michael Laster had a productive outing off the bench for the Falcons as he pitched in 6 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

The Bowling Green Falcons struggled shooting the ball against the Miami (OH) RedHawks as they connected on 18 of their 49 field goal attempts (36.7%), and they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (30.4%). The Bowling Green Falcons lost the turnover battle against the Miami (OH) RedHawks (14-9), and they were edged out by the RedHawks in the rebounding department (40-29).

The Kent State Golden Flashes come into this matchup with an 18-11 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Ohio Bobcats, 76-69. Leading the way for the Kent State Golden Flashes was senior guard Antonio Williams as he recorded 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Joining Williams in the backcourt was senior guard Troy Simons who had a productive outing for the Golden Flashes as he pitched in 11 points and 3 rebounds.

The Kent State Golden Flashes struggled shooting the ball against the Ohio Bobcats as they connected on 24 of their 58 field goal attempts (41.4%), and they were slightly worse from behind the three-point line (32%). The Kent State Golden Flashes lost the turnover battle against the Ohio Bobcats (13-9), but they edged out the Bobcats in the rebounding department (37-29).

The Bowling Green Falcons are one of the top teams in the MAC as they bring a 12-4 mark into this matchup, and they need to get back on track after losing by 18 points to a bad Miami (OH) team. The Falcons have had little problems scoring the basketball as they are averaging 74.4 PPG, and they should find some success against a Kent State defense that ranks 6th in points allowed. Bowling Green has one of the best guards in the conference with Justin Turner as he is averaging 18.3 PPG and 4.6 RPG, but he isn’t the only guy who can fill up the stat sheet as Dylan Frye and Daeqwon Plowden are both averaging over 12 PPG. Kent State is one of the worst teams in the conference at defending the three-point line as they rank 9th in three-point percentage, and I think Bowling Green will hit enough shots on the road to keep them in this one. Final Score Prediction, Kent State Golden Flashes win but fail to cover ATS 75-73.
