Congratulations, KSU!


Last night, the Golden Flashes men's basketball team defeated Akron U., to win the conference championship, and a trip to the "Big Dance". Now we just have to wait until tonight to see where (and whom) they play. KSU collected quite a few honors in addition to the MAC title. Jim Chistian is MAC Coach of the Year, Al Fisher is MAC Player of the Year, and Haminn Quaintance is MAC Defensive Player of the Year. And remember, this season was the 10th in a row for Kent with 20 or more wins. Fewer than ten teams in the country have ever done that. If they get a double digit seed, teams will not want to meet them in the first round. Go Flashes!!

Kim and I went to the game. The refs called some goofy fouls on Kent but at least they were nice enough to mostly send the one Akron player who couldn't make a free throw to save his life. I think the Flashes can beat UNLV. Kansas? Maybe not.

I agree with your prediction. Beating Kansas will be a stretch. You never know. That's why they play the games.
