Kent State Getting Pounded Early

Just a quick little March Madness update for the readers.  It’s currently halftime between UNLV and Kent State, and the Golden Flashes are rolling into the second period with 10 points.  Ten.

The Running Rebels hung a 31-spot on Kent, sinking 13-of-30 shots (43 percent).  By no means is 43 percent something to write home about, but with KSU converting on only 5-of-23, it’s enough.

Things can’t get much worse for Kent as they’re 0-7 from three-point land and 0-1 from the free throw line.  Not many shooting fouls to go around in this one so far, as UNLV has only had two attempts as a team.  The bad news for Kent is that they converted both opportunities.

Xavier was down quite a bit going into the second half of their game, and came back to win by double-figures.  This one is by no means over, but if they continue their sloppy play (one assist, 17 turnovers) it will be over before they know it.  Seventeen turnovers?  In a half?
