What to Know

The Kent State Golden Flashes will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Golden Flashes and the Eastern Michigan Eagles will face off in a Mid-American battle at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Memorial A & C Center. Both teams looked pretty sloppy on the offensive side of the ball the last time they faced off, scoring just 103 points combined.

Kent State had enough points to win and then some against the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks on Tuesday, taking their game 78-65.

Meanwhile, the contest between EMU and the Ohio Bobcats on Thursday was not particularly close, with EMU falling 81-68.

Kent State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Kent State's win brought them up to 12-9 while the Eagles' defeat pulled them down to 8-13. The Golden Flashes are 6-5 after wins this year, and EMU is 6-6 after losses.
