In a battle of small conferences, JMU will take on Kent State. JMU is coming off a huge upset of #4 Michigan State. Kent State won the MAC Tournament and made their first NCAA Appearance since 2016. The Golden Flashes went 15-0 at home last season. Kent State lost their top three scorers from a season ago. Kent State won their first game against Division Two Malone University. JMU has more size inside and is very experienced. Kent State lost three of their best players and they will struggle in the early part of the season. ut JMU is more experienced and has players that can step up in big shots as they showed against JMU. JMU held MSU to 1-20 from three, and 26-72 (36.1%) from the field. Kent State is great at home and this could be a letdown game for JMU but I don't see that happening.

Play on JMU. This is a 4% play.
