What to Know
The Kent State Golden Flashes will square off against the #14 Gonzaga Bulldogs at 9 p.m. ET Monday at McCarthey Athletic Center. Kent State will be strutting in after a win while the Bulldogs will be stumbling in from a loss.
While not quite a landslide, the contest between Kent State and the South Dakota State Jackrabbits this past Friday was still a pretty decisive one as the Golden Flashes wrapped it up with an 83-68 victory at home.
Meanwhile, Gonzaga was just a bucket shy of a win this past Friday and fell 64-63 to the Baylor Bears. Guard Julian Strawther had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 25 minutes with 3-for-14 shooting.
Kent State is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Bettors make note: they are flawless against the spread this season.
Kent State is now 6-2 while the Bulldogs sit at 5-3. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Golden Flashes have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 36.60%, which places them 17th in college basketball. But Gonzaga ranks 17th in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 49.90% on the season. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
