Kent State vs. Indiana 

The Kent State Golden Flashes and the Indiana Hoosiers will play against each other at the MVP Arena in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in the Midwest Region (9:55 p.m. ET, TBS). The Golden Flashes won the championship game of the MAC Tournament against the Toledo Rockets. Kent State is playing some great basketball and it feels like they have found their stride just in time for the tournament. The Golden Flashes have won their last six games. Meanwhile, the Hoosiers won in the semifinal game of the Big Ten Tournament to the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Hoosiers will look to win the NCAA Tournament. They have struggled as of Late losing two of their five games.

With an 28-6 record on the season and an 15-3 record in conference play, the Golden Flashes secured the second seed in the MAC Tournament. Kent State showed out in the tournament defeating Northern Illinois and Akron before taking the crown against Toledo. Kent State locked in their spot in the tournament as the WAC champions with the 13th seed in the Midwest Region. Unfortunately, they must play against a good Hoosiers team. Look to see if the Golden Flashes can stun the Hoosiers.

The Golden Flashes have gotten production from a lot of their players this season. They have three players that are averaging double-digit points this season. Senior guard Sincere Carry has been leading Kent State this year, as he leads the team in points and assists. Carry is averaging 17.6 points and 4.9 assists a game this season. They are also, led by their senior guard Malique Jacobs who is averaging 13.0 points and 7.7 rebounds a game this season.

In the tournament they were the third seed as they won their first game easily against the Maryland Terrapins. In the semifinal game they struggled against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Now, they are the fourth seed in the Midwest Region of the tournament. Look to see if they can make a run in the tournament as they have Houston, Texas, and Xavier in their region.

Kent State vs. Indiana Prediction

I like Indiana in this game. I think they roll through Kent State. I just think no one on Kent State will be able to guard Trayce Jackson-Davis. Also, I think their offense and the way they size up will be an advantage too. I like Indiana to win this game 81-63 against Kent State. Look for Hood-Schifino to have a monster game against the Golden Flashes.
