COLUMBUS, Ohio- Despite a second-half surge by the Flashes that tied the game with 10 minutes remaining, the Kent State men's basketball team (5-1) dropped its first game of the season to No. 10 Ohio State, 71-52 at St. John Arena Monday night.
The Buckeyes led by as many as 17 (40-23) before the Flashes rallied midway through the second, capping the rally with a 16-4 run that tied the game at 48. The spurt was fueled by a 3-pointer from Danny Pippen and a pair of threes from Antonio Williams.
The Buckeyes answered by scoring 17-straight points with 11 of those coming from the foul line.
