Kent State at Oakland

This is a opening-round game in the first-ever Collegeinsider.com Tournament. Kent State is looking for their 11th straight 20-win season, but I don't see it happening tonight. Kent State was carried by an eight-game winning streak during the year, but otherwise was a very mediocre 11-14. They closed the season on a 3-3 note. The Grizzlies come into this one as the second winning team in school history, notching 22 in the win column. They fell just shy of a chance for the big dance when they fell to eventual Summit Champ North Dakota State by two. The Golden Flashes are severely offensively challenged, connecting on just 43% from the floor this season. That will be tough against this Oakland team that is averaging nearly 75 points per game. Too much offense and a home-court advantage will carry Oakland to the win and cover here.
