Red-hot Kent State shoots past BGSU in MAC men's basketball tournament

CLEVELAND — Kent State picked a good night to have its best 3-point shooting performance of the season.

It was critical in dashing Bowling Green State University’s chances of reaching the Mid-American Conference men’s basketball tournament final.

The No. 8 seed Golden Flashes made a blistering 12 of 18 shots from beyond the arc, with most coming either late in the shot clock, from well beyond the line, and in moments where the No. 5 Falcons were gaining momentum, en route to earning a 73-60 victory in a MAC semifinal on Friday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

“Those are the type of games you can do a lot right, and that’s a great neutralizer,” BGSU coach Todd Simon said.
