Senior guard Jalen Avery stood at half court watching the seconds tick off the shot clock.
He attacked the basket, but ultimately took a dribble drive pull up with a hand in his face with eight seconds remaining on the shot clock with Kent State leading 64-63 in waning seconds of the Flashes (9-2) matchup against Oregon State.
Senior guard Jaylin Walker soared in for his team-high seventh rebound. The Beavers (7-4) intentionally fouled Walker with 12.6 seconds left in the game.
Walker stepped to the line and knocked down a pair of free throws to push the Flashes lead to 66-63, the margin the Flashes would win by after a last-second shot by Stephen Thompson Jr.
