Let'sGoZips94 Posted Thursday at 03:05 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:05 PM 10 hours ago, RoyalBlu said: That's just it ... statistics say they may be the worst team in the MAC (outside of NIU). They're going to win against lesser competition more often than not thanks to their tough play style, that's why the game is played. Kent is ranked "higher" because they have 1 Q3 win and losses to #5, #6, and #55. That covers up for their 1 Q3 loss and 1 Q4 loss (Akron does not have a Q4 loss). I don't know what Kent will be come March, but right now, they do completely suck statistically. In their 18 pt win vs. NIU (thank goodness NIU is leaving the MAC), Kent shot 17% from 3 and 53% from the line. They played bully-ball and ultimately overpowered the Huskies, but it was not an impressive performance. NIU shot an abysmal 30% from the field, including 25% from 3 and 46% from the line. Kent had more turnovers (15 to 11) but 19 more rebounds (51 to 32). If Kent wasn't playing against the MAC's version of the Washington Generals, they would've lost that game. Their best player is out for the year, I believe they have another key contributor out for the year, and their top local recruit is basically MIA and potentially quit basketball.

It has a cleaner, more user friendly layout than the official NET website, including a conference by conference breakdown on the right side of the home page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlu Posted Friday at 12:33 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:33 AM (edited) Thanks for the website link ... Noticed in the 12-team league 8 teams are trending down. Only two teams trending up are Ball State and Eastern Michigan. Interesting. Also noted all top 4 teams in the MAC are loaded with Q4 wins. Doesn't say much for the league. CMU has 2 Q2 wins, both non-con. Ball State has 1 vs. Kent. Edited Friday at 12:38 AM by RoyalBlu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no way the MAC would allow them to remove their football program, but leave their other sports. Especially since their basketball team is consistently in the bottom 1/3 of the MAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:39 PM (edited) In Kent's 19 pt win at Buffalo last night, they shot 16% from 3 (4-25). This brings their season 3P% down to 25.3%, good for 361st out of 364 teams. The hilarious part is the 3 teams who are worse than them percentage wise, also rank towards the bottom in 3PA per game. Kent's ranking for 3PA per game? 96th. At least the other teams know they suck; Kent is delusional. They are an all-time bad shooting team.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted Sunday at 12:35 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:35 AM All teams that won today scored 91 or more. Miami 91, Balls 91, Akron 105, Ohio 108. Live look at Pinky seeing the MAC light up the scoreboard as his band of misfits are near the bottom of the country in offense... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their schedule and results are mixed, including an opening loss to Central Michigan and a 14 point thumping of Arkansas State just last week. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted Monday at 11:34 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 11:34 PM They are good. 104 NET. Close-ish losses to Ole Miss and TCU, wins vs Ark St and JMU. They have not been blown out by anyone like Akron has so I would presume this to be a competitive game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Kent loses by 11 to previously 3-12 WMU, 94-83. That's their best offensive game maybe all year and they still lost. They have 2 losses in MAC play, both at home to Balls and WMU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
