Kent State Golden Flashes vs Youngstown State Penguins

The Youngstown State are 5-5 this season overall (0-2 in the Horizon League) and today will hope to improve their 0 – 5 record away from Beeghly Center.
Kent State have been dominating their opponents this season in the total offensive rebounds departement. Their 153 total offensive rebounds is the number 32 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Youngstown State coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Kent State’s 5 – 0 home record.
