Kent State Golden Flashes at Buffalo Bulls Prediction
The books may have finally evaluated Kent State accurately but given the fact Buffalo appears to come in with less points to spot. However, the consensus has taken Buffalo at what appears to be a great price. The Kent State win to the public eye may seem like a fluke and thus prompted the action. However, we must remind any Bulls enthusiast that Kent State was capable of defeating the top seed in Akron on their own court to start off their gallop toward the MAC Quarterfinals. There are shake ups every year in the conference tournaments and teams that unexpectedly punch their ticket to March Madness. In many instances we see top seeds get upset by lower seeds in the most uncanny of ways. For example, we saw #9 Youngstown State defeat #1 Oakland in the Horizon League Tournament and that was most incredulous to many. Contrarily, Kent State is a prime candidate to orchestrate such an event. The Golden Flashes are one of the best in America in rebounding, which means they can cultivate more second chance opportunities and that can be a huge issue for Buffalo. Kent State will head in to this affair with extra confidence knowing they can beat Buffalo on its own court. Now they get the Bulls on a neutral site. Kent State certainly has some mojo working and it is safe to conclude another upset could be in the works.
