At halftime of Kent State's Tuesday tilt against Miami (OH), Kent State head coach Todd Starkey needed a minute. Starkey's team was already in the process of shuffling off the court into the lockerroom, but the first-year coach elected to stay by the Kent State bench by himself, looking at the scoreboard, seeming baffled that at his team's 42-39 lead. Starkey's befuddlement was understandable.
The Flashes only shot 42 percent in the first half compared to Miami's 57 percent, and the only reason that the Flashes held their slim lead was due to the fact that they had ten offensive rebounds going into the break.
