Men's basketball opens season with blowout win

In an arena filled only with the low rumble of fake crowd noise and the squeaking of shoes on hardwood, college basketball returned to Kent State’s campus.

Kent State won a resounding 90-41 victory in their home opener against Point Park University on Wednesday night.

This Kent State team was completely different from the one seen last year. Of the 14 players that saw the floor, only four had even donned the blue and gold in a game before tonight.

That lack of experience caused a slow start for the Flashes, and after seven minutes the game was tied 6-6.
