Nearly every time Kent State men’s basketball coach Rob Senderoff addresses the media, two main themes emerge — the Golden Flashes need to play top-notch defense and take care of the basketball.
Enter Eastern Michigan, which is the Mid-American Conference’s best test for both.
The Tuesday night matchup between Kent State (14-5, 5-1) and Eastern Michigan (10-9, 2-4) will mark the second time in four games the Golden Flashes will face the current MAC offensive leader. The Eagles are averaging 79.3 points per game, ahead of Toledo and Ohio. The Eagles are also leading the conference in turnover margin with a mark of plus-4.
