Flashes second-half struggles lead to Buffalo stampede

Kent State's Jordan Korinek goes up for a shot in the final home game of her career on Feb. 28, 2018. The Flashes lost, 81-51.

Kent State knew heading into Wednesday’s game against Buffalo that protecting the ball and slowing the game down were two things it had to do in order to keep the game close.

In the first half, the Flashes were successful. They had eight turnovers, but they limited Buffalo to just four fastbreak points.

The Flashes also shot the ball well. They finished the first half shooting 12-for-25 from the field, including a layup by senior Zenobia Bess at the horn to cut the Bulls lead to 36-28 at the half.
