After a nonconference slate filled with inconsistency and foul trouble, Kent State (7-8, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) finally got the performances from Jaylin Walker and Adonis De La Rosa they’ve been looking for all season.
The pair combined for 50 points en route to a convincing 85-69 win over Central Michigan (12-3, 1-1 MAC) Saturday night, who entered the game ranked No. 22 on CollegeInsider.com’s Mid-Major Top 25, one of only two MAC teams featured on the list.
The duo helped the Flashes jump out to a 46-30 lead at the half. The 46 points were tied for the team’s highest first half scoring output against a Division I opponent this season.
