Kent Tonight - What do you Think

I see a curbstomping coming, but who really knows. Kent hasn't been stellar lately.

how many players are left to play tonight? If we have the ten players we had prior to the Minnesota game less Doughty I will take Kent by 10.

Kent has lost twice at home but they'll be a tough out for us.  I think our first four of Basheer, Anderson, Bailey and Pearson match up fine but unless Hendricks or Mason go off we are at a severe disadvantage.  If we shoot well we will be in it but if we have a long dry spell we're toast.  Plus, we have played like shit on the road.  BTW, I strongly dislike Senderoff.   I'm trying not to hate anyone but I might make an exception is his case since he is a horses ass.  Kent by 12.  

I think we will give them a fight but their quickness and talent have and will continue to be a pain for the conference. If we can rebound well we can slow them down a little.
