Ball State Cardinals vs Kent State Golden Flashes. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Kent State Golden Flashes. Right now, Kent State appears to be the MAC’s team to beat, since they are performing better than any other team in the conference.

The Golden Flashes covered the spread in seven of their previous eight games, including back-to-back double-digit victories against the top two teams in the rankings. Ball State, on the other hand, still has a lot to prove.

They are returning from a tremendous win over Bowling Green, but Bowling Green just fired its second and third highest scorers days before the game and is now not a good basketball club. The defenses will make or break this game.

Ball State’s field goal % and three-point shooting percentages are ranked 273rd and 300th, respectively.
