College basketball odds, picks and predictions for Kent State Golden Flashes vs Akron Zips. NCAAB betting free pick and best bet analysis.
The MAC Tournament final is here and features two programs that know each other well. Akron's suffocating defense will be on full display and while Kent State has shone recently, this matchup doesn't favor the Golden Flashes.
These two teams have a history, with Kent State knocking Akron off in the MAC Tournament last year and the Zips doing it to the Golden Flashes the year before. Except this time around the deck is stacked against Senderoff with John Groce’s program being the far better team on paper this season. More than anything, its perimeter defense is impenetrable. Akron allows the 17th lowest 3-point percentage in the country and gives up the 61st fewest 3-pointers per game . Those numbers get even better against MAC teams, allowing 6.2 threes per game on 28.2% shooting.
Akron can lean on its perimeter defense to contain the Kent State long game, and it’s not as if the Zips are lacking anywhere else. Groce’s team allows the fewest two-point attempts in MAC play this season and forces the third-most turnovers . As long as Akron’s defense does what it has all season, this should be a low-scoring slugfest between two rivals.Most seasons, an Akron vs. Kent State MAC title game would mean two of the three best teams in the conference have made a run in the tournament. Instead, Kent State has persevered in a down year and finds itself with a shot at the Big Dance.
