BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Kent State Men's Basketball team held off a late game push from the Bowling Green State University Falcons on Tuesday night by a final score of 91-84. Jalen Sullinger went perfect at the free throw line (15-15) on his way to matching his career high of 32 points.
Despite trailing at the first media timeout, Kent State quickly tied the game at 11 before retaking the lead with a 15-4 run. Cli'Ron Hornbeak made his presence known with a trio of blocks in the first half. The Flashes were able to create some separation leading 41-28 after the first 20. Bowling Green closed the gap in the opening minutes of the second as KSU's lead shrunk to seven with just over 12 minutes remaining. From there Kent State turned up the heat on defense just as VonCameron Davis began to heat up from behind the arch. Bowling Green's sharp shooting kept them in the game as they closed it to four-points with 2:50 left to play. Despite the push Kent State went on a 9-6 run to close out the win. Six of KSU's winning time points came from Jalen Sullinger.
