I'm on the over vs Kent State for these reasons:

- Akron beat Kent State twice, covering both time and beating them by 6+ points both times. Each game went over 140 points

- Kent State are the faster paced team, 18-13 to the over this season and this total is so low that I don't think either team needs to hit 70 points to cash this bet.

- Akron are the better defense here, but their offense should continue to have its way with Kent State, being that this is one of the worst defenses played in this conference tournament. They went over in the game vs Miami-Ohio before going under vs Ohio before this matchup.

- Kent State are going to shoot enough three point shots to hang around, and will probably need to shoot more than their average because of how the Akron offense has been successful in the past meetings. They shot 43 % from three point range in the last meeting @ Akron so they've had success pushing the pace.

Official Play: Over 132

Side Bet: Akron -4.5
