Strong second half gives Flashes momentum heading into conference play

The Kent State men's basketball team (11-2) shot just 8-for-29 from the field in the first half, which finished with the Flashes holding onto a narrow 25-20 lead over Oberlin (6-4) 25-20.

It was the Flashes worst shooting half since their opening half 8-for-25 showing against Liberty on Nov. 16.

However, unlike the game against Liberty, Kent State was able to come away with the win. The Flashes shooting improved drastically in the second half, mostly as a result of points off turnovers and fast break points, leading to a 71-48 win.

Kent State forced the Yeomen into 21 turnovers, which resulted in 22 points for the Flashes.
