Flashes and Cardinals Open MAC Schedule
KSU and Ball State start quest for league title this weekend in Kent
Two of the Mid-American Conference's most storied and recently successful programs will begin the hunt for a regular season championship and first round tournament bye Friday when Kent State and Ball State meet for a 3 p.m. match-up.
The Golden Flashes (10-6) and Cardinals (10-10) each have several quality wins on their non-conference schedules. KSU has defeated Arkansas and Sam Houston State while Ball State beat Iowa earlier this month.
