Detroit Mercy Titans vs Kent State Golden Flashes 12/9/2021 Picks Predictions Previews

The Detroit Mercy Titans of the Horizon Conference will go against the Kent State Golden Flashes of the Mid-American Conference in NCAAB action in Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center, Kent, OH, on Thursday, December 9, 2021, at 7:00 PM (EST).

Detroit placed fourth in the Horizon League last year, just like Kent State, and is expected to finish in the center of the conference this year. A Horizon League crown and an NCAA tournament participation are the goals on campus.

They didn’t have a great start to the year, but all six opponents they dropped to in their first six games are placed in the top 150 in the KenPom rankings.

No one anticipated the Titans to sweep those matches since their KenPom rating was 203. They won their past two matches, and a win here may help them gain some momentum before conference play begins in a few weeks.

The Titans are a strong three-point shooter. Three-point attempts are 73rd, while the three-point field goal percentage is 126th. They can’t shoot well from any other location. Their true shooting percentage is 237th, and their field goal percentage is 41.4 percent. They’ll have to rely on three-point shooting to remain in this match.

The University of Detroit Mercy Titans is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 matches.
Detroit is 1-5 SU in their last 6 matches against Kent State.
The Mercy Titans are 1-10 SU in their last 11 matches in the Mid-American Conference.

Detroit Mercy Titans vs Kent State Golden Flashes Predictions 12/9/2021

Kent State has a 4-2 record, which is a decent start to the year, but their opponents did not have tournament-level caliber. They did not face a team rated higher than 130th in KenPom rankings since losing to Xavier in the season opener.

After this matchup, they have a tournament against West Virginia, which is 7-1 and ranked 48th in the country, which will serve as a nice litmus test to see whether the Golden Flashes are capable of winning the MAC and making an NCAA tournament run.

The Golden Flashes are having a fantastic season. Their offensive and defensive ratings are both 75th, while their true shooting percentage is 76th. They’re shooting 45.4 percent from the field, 36.4% from beyond the arc, and 81.9 percent from the free-throw line.

They are the top free-throw shooting team in the country, but they do not attempt nearly as many as the rest of the field. They should be able to beat this game, but they’ll have to play well to cover the spread.

The University of Kent State Golden Flashes is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 matches.
The total went UNDER in 5 of Kent State’s last 5 matches against Detroit.
Kent State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 matches in the Horizon Conference.

Detroit Mercy Titans vs Kent State Golden Flashes. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Kent State Golden Flashes. The Golden Flashes are performing some excellent basketball recently. They are exceptionally well-rounded on offense, defense, and turnovers, as I previously stated.

Other than three-point shooting, the Titans aren’t particularly strong. Their offense is ranked 236th, and their defense is ranked 334th. Even their shooting, aside from outside the arc, isn’t great, and they’re up against the country’s 75th-best offense and defense. The Kent State Golden Flashes will win and cover to a predicted score of 72-65.
