“Tough night for us,” coach Rob Senderoff said. “We didn’t play great, but let’s give Ohio credit for how they played. I thought they came out with a lot of focus and a lot of energy. They did a good job and deserved to win tonight.”
Kent State trailed the Bobcats the majority of the game as they struggled from the field, shooting 39 percent.
Redshirt senior Xavier Pollard exited Friday’s game midway through the first half after landing on his foot. Pollard recorded 23 points last time the Flashes saw the Bobcats.
“He came down on his foot and couldn’t play,” Senderoff said.
