The Toledo Rockets (10-5, 1-1 MAC) visit the Kent State Golden Flashes (12-3, 2-0) for some Tuesday night Mid-American Conference action. The opening tip at the M.A.C. Center will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Toledo vs. Kent State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Rabbit-tempo Toledo has scored over 100 in each of its last 2 victories. The most recent of those wins was Friday over Western Michigan (102-74). UT shot 52.4% from the field and covered as a 15.5-point favorite in the victory. The Rockets have shot a robust 53.3% over their last 4 games.
Kent State has won 6 in a row straight up but has lost 3 in a row against the spread. KSU owns the stingiest defense in the MAC with 61.9 points allowed per game. The Flashes do well to create turnovers and defend the perimeter, and their senior guards key those efforts while providing the bulk of the team’s scoring.
