KENT: Kent State entered Tuesday night as a team in desperate need of something to go its way.
Two key contributors have been out with injuries, and the Golden Flashes had lost three consecutive games by double digits. The momentum from a hot start to conference play was long gone.
On Tuesday, the Flashes finally seemed to be putting together a positive night, before they nearly gave it away. Coach Rob Senderoff’s quick decision to not call a timeout and instead rush the ball down the court led to Galal Cancer hitting two free throws with 7.
