Kent State is going dancing! On to March Madness!!
CLEVELAND — The pain from last year’s championship loss, and the unusual circumstances surrounding it, stuck with Kent State’s players, gnawed at them.Sincere Carry scored 26 points, Malique Jacobs added 18 and Kent State won the Mid-American Conference championship, 93-78 over top-seeded Toledo, which had its winning streak stopped at 17 and will likely miss the NCAA Tournament for the 43rd straight year.
With 28 wins and some near-miss losses at Houston and Gonzaga, the Golden Flashes will be a tough out for any team. They're balanced, tough and in Carry have a player capable of, well, carrying them. The top-seeded Rockets now must hope the NCAA selection committee looks at their entire body of work. However, history won't be on their side as the MAC hasn't had two teams in the 68-team field since 1999, and it's more likely they're headed to the NIT.
Toledo was still within 71-67 when the Golden Flashes went on a 10-3 run capped by Carry's long 3-pointer as the 30-second shot expired.
