Walker's late shot gives Kent State 68-66 win over Ohio

CLEVELAND -- Jaylin Walker mistakenly thought Kent State was behind.

That was his only error in the final seconds.

Walker dropped an off-balance runner over two defenders with 4.1 seconds left, giving Kent State a 68-66 semifinal win over Ohio on Friday night and setting up a date with rival Akron in the championship of the Mid-American Conference Tournament.

With the score tied 66-all, Walker grabbed the rebound of a missed free throw by Ohio and took off. He drove the length of the floor before pulling up in the lane and making his tough basket.
