Kent State struggles to score, gives NIU sweep

With four seconds left on the clock and the designed play collapsing around him, Kent State men’s basketball forward Danny Pippen heaved a deep contested three.

The shot was too strong, and clanged off the rim into the hands of a Northern Illinois University (15-9, 8-3 Mid-American Conference) defender.

As the game clock sounded Kent State fell 54-57, dropping its second game in a row to go to 16-8 on the season, and 6-5 in the MAC.

After losing to Ball State earlier this week Kent State once again struggled against a top MAC defensive unit, scoring only 54 points in each game.
