Kent State basketball: Flashes have lots to cheer, will play UCLA in NCAA Tournament

KENT: Wearing their Mid-American Conference championship hats Sunday, Kent State players gathered at Kent’s Water Street Tavern to watch the annual CBS Selection Sunday show for the NCAA Tournament.

The No. 14 Golden Flashes (22-13, 10-8) will play No. 3 UCLA in the South Region on Friday in Sacramento, Calif. Although they could have clipped the tags from each hat after their 70-65 title game win over rival Akron, the Flashes decided against it. Instead, they stuffed their net cuttings from Saturday night’s celebration in the backs of their hats.
