The Kent State University men’s basketball regular season came to an end as the Flashes (19-12.10-8 Mid-American Conference) dropped their final road game 74-60 to the University of Akron (24-7, 13-5 MAC) Friday night.
“We just didn’t play quite good enough,” coach Rob Senderoff said. “Too many turnovers—some of them they forged, but some of them we gave to them. We missed too many shots around the rim and when you do that, it’s tough to win.”
The Flashes trailed the Zips 33-30 heading into the second half with eight turnovers compared to Akron’s three. Kent State added seven more turnovers in the second half, finishing with 15 and allowing Akron to score 12 points off of those turnovers.
