It just seemed Kent’s fast start messed with the Akron player’s heads, especially after the loss last week. It put the team into panic mode. We actually outshot them from the three point line, but each time Kent hit one you could see the wind coming out of Akron’s sails.
Kent had 10 steals to Akron’s 3, probably a product of the quick start and the Zips losing their crap. Otherwise the stat lines were very similar. I just don’t think we were mentally equipped for a fast Kent start.
