The unofficial online home for fans of the Kent State University Golden Flashes. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

The Golden Flashes travel to the KFC Yumi Center in Louisville Kentucky to take on the Cardinals Saturday at 4PM. Louisville is 7-3 on the seasons with wins over Vermont, Michigan State and Seton Hall. The Cardinals three losses are to Indiana, Tennessee and Marquette. All of these have come by 9 points or less.

Louisville is 10 deep. The leading scorer is Jordan Nwora. The 6'7 sophomore from Buffalo (thank goodness he is at Louisville) averages 18 points and 7 rebounds per game. A group of seven players follow Nwora and average between 6 and 9 points per game. One of them is 6'11 sophomore Malik Williams who averages 6.3 points and 5 rebounds per night. He also has 17 blocked shots on the season. Ryan McMahon, a 6'0 junior from Sarasota appears to be a shooter that KSU will need to keep an eye on. McMahon is shooting 37% from 3 point range and 96% from the line.

Bottom line, KSU will need to bring their A game to knock of Louisville. If you have the ACC Network (yes, Kentucky is right there on the atlantic coast) I hope you enjoy the ballgame.

GO FLASHES!
