Miami (OH) vs Kent State Prediction
Miami has been very average this year, and while they have some solid wins, they also have some bad losses. The RedHawks are led by big man Anderson Mirambeaux, who averages 14.3 PPG and 4.2 RPG in just 20.8 minutes per game. Senior guard Darweshi Hunter has also been solid, averaging 12.7 PPG while shooting the three at a 37.2%. This Miami team puts up 73.9 PPG, while shooting 47.1% from the field (58th best in the nation). Miami plays at an average pace, as they shoot their fair share of 3-pointers, yet love to attack the paint and penetrate with their guards. The like to distribute the ball, averaging 15.4 APG (64th best in the nation). This team likes to get downhill and find the scoring option. This could cause some headaches tonight for Kent State as they are not the best defensively.
Miami is coming off a nice win against Akron in the last game out, and will look to compete with an underrated Kent State team tonight. Kent State does not really have a big advantage tonight at home, as they have not been good in their own building. They have a 5-5 record, and I do not expect the home team to have an advantage tonight. I am not sure if Miami can pull off an outright win, put I think this game will be closer than most people think.
Take Miami (OH) +8 tonight! Let's cash!
