ANALYSIS:
Kent State is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. Their record this season is 22-14, and the club is ranked 159th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #6 team (out of 12) in the MAC (average ranking 175.6).

Based on the data, Kent State will likely find more success on offense than on defense. Scoring about 102 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, they currently occupy the #159 slot in the rankings for offensive efficiency. Kent State is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked fifth in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.23 vs. AO. Conversely, the squad isn't all that good at draining those shots, converting about 41.7% of their total attempts vs. AO. Kent State also appears to be one of the top-notch offensive rebounding teams you will find this year. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 20.34 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked fifth in the NCAA), and they convert 8.6% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 31st) as well. If Kent State does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's ability (or lack thereof) to sink threes. The squad converts just 31.8% of their three-point attempts vs. AO, which ranks 42nd-worst in the nation.

Kent State plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 168th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 102 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kent State does a fairly satisfactory job to deny opponents chances to score off of the offensive glass. They have a rating of 13.22 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 79th in the country).
