The Kent State Golden Flashes (0-11, 0-7 MAC) aim to end their dismal season on a high note by securing their first win when they face the Buffalo Bulls (7-4, 5-2 MAC) on Tuesday night.
The Golden Flashes have endured a nightmare season, dropping all 11 games so far. While the program has had four winless teams in its history, none have ever endured a 12-game losing streak. Kent State is desperate to avoid setting a new low when they take on Buffalo.
The Bulls, on the other hand, bounced back from a two-game skid with victories over Akron, Ball State, and Eastern Michigan, covering the spread in two of those matchups. Buffalo will look to extend their winning streak to five games and carry that momentum forward by overcoming Kent State.
