First half surge propels Ohio past Kent State

The first seven minutes of the Kent State basketball team's Mid-American Conference contest against Ohio University Friday night was a back-and-forth affair.

When sophomore Jaylin Walker drained a three pointer to give the Flashes an early 7-3 advantage, Ohio senior Antonio Campbell answered with a three of his own on the ensuing possession.

When Kent State redshirt senior Jimmy Hall converted a contested layup, so did sophomore Jordan Dardis on the other end. And when Walker drained another shot from beyond the arc following a Kent State timeout, Ohio's Kenny Kaminski hit a three 15 seconds later.
