Prospect Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 112 Location:	#1 Posted: 11/19/2008 2:01:49 PM I have seen a few people here on st.louis and im just wondering what the reasoning is. I like a more experienced team picked #1 in the Mac over a middle of the pack A-10 school. St. louis is playing 7 freshman against a team that beat them by 41 last year and returns most of their line-up. And please don't say revenge factor. 3/4 of this team didn't even play last year and im sure kent wants to win just as bad as St.Louis. This is also the first test of their careers for all of these freshman after playing some very weak competition to start the year. Regardless BOL. Taking Kent. pick em

Besides playing against Eberhardt these freshman haven't even practiced against a D1 big man much less played against one. I saw your thread and agree this will be a good team with time. But I lean towards a somewhat proven team with experience.

Kent St. has 65%(pts.) of their offense back from last year, alot of experienced players, they are a stellar defensive team also. Saint Louis will not be able to keep up, a little smaller, a little slower... If someone thinks St. Louis can win, PLEASE shed some light on what I did not see. Kent State(-1.5)

From what i hear Saint Louis is a horrible shooting team. Kent State has an extreme amount of talent. They bring back Al Fisher (reigning MAC player of the year) one of the most clutch players in all of basketball. He hit big shot after big shot for Kent State last year. Jordan Mincy one of the best defenders in the country. Mincy held the star from St. Mary's last year to 5 points that same guys dropped 20 something on team USA. Joshua Simpson a first year player for Kent will alter shots in the lane along with Senior Center Brandon Parks. Kent is loaded with depth Rashad Woods who shot 47% from 3 last year will come off the bench along like another 3pt threat Mike Mckee. Chris Singletary is a big physical guard who will be very difficult to stop when driving to the hoop. Although it looks like Kent State will be without Tyree Evans tonight and until grades become official I believe Kent State will win by 15 something in the range of 74-59. Good luck everyone!

"No," he said. "It will help us later in the year, and in the second, third and fourth years. It's a good game to play. They're very, very good. I'd like to have gone lighter earlier and not play such formidable opponents and then play three straight road games, but no one will feel sorry for you. This will make us better. I know the guys are looking forward to the game. It's a good test. "People that want to see a good college team should come out (tonight), though they might not see one in us."

He ain't going to say they are pushovers. You can look at all the stats you want til your crossed eyed, but St. Louis has decent chance at beating Kent. 1. They play defense. 2. New coach 3. St. Louis - better coach 3. First road game 4. senior guards for St. Louis Those are pretty good reasons, imo. I am not betting this game. Too many variables, but St. Louis can definitely play with Kent St.

I don't want to repeat what many have already said, but I'm on Kent for a lot of the same reasons. Tyson15, has a lot of good points, and will roll with a more talented, more experienced team with the short number. Kent PK
