The Flashes had five players in double figures, led by Rod Sherman with 16 points and 6 rebounds.
Down 15-4 to start the game, Kent State used a 16-4 run to take a 20-19 lead. Freshman point guard Randal Holt led the charge and played the best game of his season, finishing with 12 points on a perfect 4-4 from the field.
KSU shot 56 percent in the second half to take an eight point lead at the half (39-31), and stretch it to an 18 point final margin.
Justin Greene had 14 points and 11 rebounds, Tyree Evans had 14 points and Anthony Simpson had 11 points and 7 rebounds.

HITTING THE ROAD IN MAC PLAY - The MAC office did Kent State no favors as they will open MAC play with two straight road games, at Ohio on Saturday and at Miami next Tuesday.
