Kent State men’s basketball team dreams of dancing in the NCAA tournament came to a shocking end on Monday night, as they lost 69-70 to No. 12 seed Bowling Green at home in the first round of the Mid-American Conference tournament.
At the beginning of the season, the Flashes had mild rumors circulating of being the MAC East dark horse. The backcourt had its doubts due to lack of chemistry with most of the guards being in their first year on the court in a Kent State uniform.
The only guard with real experience under coach Rob Senderoff was redshirt junior Kellon Thomas, who was fresh off a season ending an injury a year prior, but even with the inexperience of the backcourt the team still had the potential to be very explosive and make games very interesting to watch.
