With a 5-2 record and wins against a pretty good UAB team, a decent Samford side, and a Morehead State team that has to be considered a favorite in the Ohio Valley, I thought Kent State had as good a chance of beating Xavier in Cincinnati tonight as does the United States of advancing to the knockout rounds of the 2010 World Cup thanks to their favorable draw. Guess I was wrong since the Golden Flashes are trailing the Musketeers 77-61.
Obviously, Geno Ford’s squad wasn’t favored to win this one, but how they let a double-digit first half lead become a rout is something entirely different. This is just another example of how MAC teams haven’t been able to close out games this season.
For a league desperate to get more than a cursory invite to the Big Dance, Kent State’s loss tonight has to be considered a loss opportunity.
