Flashes end home season against Miami tonight

I’ve been sick and again have to post a very abbreviated preview of tonight’s game.

KSU hosts Miami in its final home game of the season at 7 p.m. at the MACC.

A win likely would move Kent, which is 5-21, and 2-14 in the MAC, out of the 12th seed in the conference tournament to the 11th seed.

Miami is a game ahead in the MAC at 3-13 and is 9-18 overall. The Redhawks beat KSU 55-52 at Miami two weeks ago.

The difference in seeding is whether Kent would play at Akron or at Eastern Michigan in the first round of the tournament. But those teams are tied, too, at 9-7, so whom Kent plays is as much dependent on their final two games as its own.

The Flashes lost to Akron twice — by 12 and 10 points — and lost to Eastern Michigan by 21. Eastern has a better overall record (18-9) to Akron’s 15-12.

KSU’s final game of the regular season is at Buffalo Saturday.

Here are the game previews, including broadcast information, from the teams’ websites.
