KENT – The Kent State Men's Basketball team (7-1) extended their win streak to seven in a row on Saturday night defeating Penn State Shenango by a final score of 123-59. Nearly every Golden Flash scored as seven players tallied double-digits. Cian Medley set a new single-game school record in assists, and Kent State's 123 points on 51 shots made also updates the record book.
Kent State fired out of the gate as Rayvon Griffith threw down the opening two points. That set the tone early as the Flashes led by as much as 20-0 before PSU Shenango got their first point. With 3:15 to play in the first have Deandre Jones netted his first collegiate points on his way to leading the roster. He went on to throw in his first dunk with 2:33 to play. Not to be out done Landon Vanderwarker put down a two-hand slam at 1:21. Cian Medley recorded 12 of his 16 assists in the first half as Kent State went to the locker room up 60-17. The Golden Flashes went right back to work in the second half. At 12:33 in the second half Medley dished the basketball to Dezmon Briscoe underneath who threw it down to make history giving the program record in assists in a single game to his teammate. With under 10 minutes to play Coach Senderoff fully emptied the bench with Jaymen Townsend, Drew Huffman, and Dylan Lakatos entering the game to thunderous applause in the M.A.C. Center. Both Huffman and Lakatos got on the score sheet prior to the final horn.
