TEAM: Kent State Golden Flashes
COACH: Rob Senderoff
2013-14 RECORD: 16-16 overall (7-11 MAC, Lost to Miami in the first round of the MAC Tournament)
2014-15 NON CONFERENCE RECORD: 9-4

By EVAN MEYER

OVERALL: The Golden Flashes were picked to finish third in the Eastern Division (behind Akron and Ohio) this season. They started the campaign winning their first four games before losing two straight at home (to Yale in the championship game of the Men against Breast Cancer Classic and then to Loyola Chicago. They rebounded from those losses to win four straight games -- three of them coming on the road -- before losing at Texas-El Paso in the Championship Game of the Don Haskins classic and then at nationally ranked Kansas before a victory over Texas-Pan American

SURPRISES: One major flaw of the Flashes last season was inside scoring and rebounding. They seem to have found that presence in sophomore Jimmy Hall. The transfer from Hofstra is leading the Flashes in scoring at 14.1 points per game and has pulled down 7.8 rebounds per contest. His 102 total rebounds is second most in non-conference play. In addition, Hall is shooting 50 percent from the field

DISAPPOINTMENTS: KSU is shooting just 57.4 percent from the free throw line…Senior guard Kris Brewer has been spotty both offensively and defensively and has come off the bench in recent games…Craig Brown, a fifth year senior from Rutgers, has had a hard time getting up to speed on KSU basketball and his struggles have been curtailing his minutes

HIGH MARK: Starting the season 4-0 with wins over Youngstown State, Malone, Southern Illinois and Illinois-Chicago

LOW MARK: Losing a second half lead to Yale on November 23, followed by an uncompetitive performance against Loyola Chicago in the next game.

NOTEBOOK: Head coach Rob Senderoff has won at least nine non-conference games twice during his three-year tenure at KSU…The Flashes are 14th in all of Division I, allowing the opposition just 40.6 percent from the field…KSU is averaging 12.2 offensive rebounds per game…Senior guard Derek Jackson passed the 1,000 point mark for his collegiate career against Loyola Chicago.
