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

The women play at Buffalo at 5 p.m. Monday, an unusual time and day for a game postponed by COVID-19 from Jan. 8.

The game is on ESPN3.

Buffalo is 3-0 in the MAC and 9-4 overall but has had three straight games postponed by COVID on its team. A lot of the game will depend on how rusty and healthy the Bulls are.

Kent (2-4 MAC, 10-5) will be playing its third game in six days. The Flashes played their best of the MAC season in an 83-58 rout of Eastern Michigan on Saturday. Before that, KSU struggled to score and shoot well against conference teams, though the Flashes have allowed the third-fewest points in the league.

Buffalo ran up big scoring numbers in its three MAC wins — 92-75 over Central Michigan, 88-83 at Miami and 82-66 at Bowling Green.

Buffalo has the country’s fourth-leading scorer in junior guard Dyaisha Fair, who averages 23.6 points a game. She scored 40 against Bowling Green.

Fifth-year forward Summer Hemphill, who missed the better part of three seasons with a knee injury, is at full strength and is averaging 16.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.

Kent State has five players who average at least 9.4 points per game and a sixth who averages 7.8. The Flashes have outrebounded their opponents in every game this season except one, which was a 43-43 tie.
