Kent State @ West Virginia

Current Records: Kent State 5-3; West Virginia 8-1

What to Know

The West Virginia Mountaineers will be playing at home against the Kent State Golden Flashes at 4 p.m. ET Sunday. The Mountaineers are out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

Things were close when West Virginia and the Connecticut Huskies clashed this past Wednesday, but West Virginia ultimately edged out the opposition 56-53. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin. Guard Taz Sherman had 23 points along with six rebounds, and this makes it back-to-back games in which he has scored at least 40% of West Virginia's points.

Meanwhile, Kent State strolled past the Detroit Titans with points to spare this past Thursday, taking the contest 69-52.

This next matchup looks promising for West Virginia, who are favored by a full 12 points. Those who got lucky with them against the spread this past Wednesday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the team has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

The Mountaineers are now 8-1 while the Golden Flashes sit at 5-3. West Virginia is 6-1 after wins this season, Kent State 2-2.
