KENT, Ohio- The Kent State men's basketball team is back in action after its bye week and hosts Ohio on Saturday afternoon at the M.A.C. Center. Saturday's game will serve as the Autism Awareness game. Tip time is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Kent State will debut its Autism Awareness uniforms against Ohio. The Bobcats' staff will join the Golden Flashes in the awareness effort by wearing the autism "puzzle" ribbon, and players on both teams will be wearing light blue shoelaces – a designated color for autism awareness. The Flashes Players will be wearing student-designed uniforms with the space on the back that's usually designated for their names instead displaying the phrase "1 in 59" to promote autism awareness and education.
