Kent State probably shouldn’t have won its game Tuesday night.
The Flashes looked lethargic for stretches and it showed on the scoreboard; they found themselves down by as many as 17 in the opening minutes of the second half.
But then something clicked.
Maybe it was the defense of the Flashes’ guards. Maybe it was the play of freshman Anthony Roberts or senior Akiean Fredrick off the bench. Maybe it was the jaw-dropping shooting clinic put on by Jaylin Walker. Maybe it was a combination of all of them. But whatever it was, it worked for Kent State on Tuesday night.
