Kent State made nine of ten free throws in overtime, giving the Flashes an 85-78 win over Western Michigan Tuesday night.
“Really hard fought win and I’m really proud of the guys for finding a way to pull it out,” coach Rob Senderoff said. “When we lost the lead, they didn’t panic and made big plays.”
Senior guard Galal Cancer scored a career-high 24 points, making eight of 13 from the field and shooting 60 percent from three-point range.
“I’m just shooting with confidence,” Cancer said. “They aren’t all going to go in, but that comes with getting extra shots and just being comfortable with the shots that I take.
