Junior guard Antonio Williams darted down the sideline, chasing a loose ball that he had seconds earlier knocked away from Wright State guard Cole Gentry.
Williams corralled the loose ball en route to a fast break layup that gave Kent State a 73-72 lead with close to three minutes left in the second half .
This was the Flashes first lead since the 10:40 mark.
“(Antonio’s) steal changed the game for us,” coach Rob Senderoff said.
However, Senderoff credited the Flashes' (8-1) defensive effort down the stretch to senior guard Jalen Avery.
“Jalen's experience level at guarding point guards for as long as he has, and being able to direct Gentry the way he wanted him to go I thought that really helped us,” Senderoff said.
