Quote:As part of the Diamond Classic, Tuesday's game is a nonleague game that does not count in conference standings. The Flashes (35-12, 15-2) will play the Zips (16-30, 10-6) three times this weekend at KSU.
Congrats on winning the exhibition game, but let's see how these other games play out before throwing a banquet and ordering rings.
An exhibition? I don't get it.

Quote:The game served as a charity benefit event for Akron Children’s Hospital. Fortunately for Kent State, the defeat at the hands of its archrival will not count against them in Mid-American Conference play.

Game does not count towards the MAC standings, but it does count towards Kent State's overall record and RPI. Kent State better hope they win the MAC tournament because they have no shot at a at-large bid.
We blew that when we lost a game to BG, Ohio, and 2 to Buffalo. That horse has been out of the barn for weeks.
