I guess we will know in a few months if this really, really big win for Kent is a harbinger of great things to come for Sendy's team and a bad omen for our Zips.

 

I'm not concerned whether Kent suddenly became a great team.  I don't think that's the case.  I'm just taking notice of the fact that they just showed they can win a high profile road game.  

 

On the "will the nation or Joe Akron take notice" discussion, I can tell you this:  My wife came home from work yesterday, and the first thing she said to me was, "Did you hear that Kent beat Texas?".  So please, some of you need to stop being in denial and realize that average sports fans and media outlets take far more notice of these kinds of wins.  Even those who might never follow Kent Basketball.   And it doesn't matter if Texas is a national powerhouse this year or not.

One of the talking heads on ESPN today, while speaking of the various weaknesses of assorted top teams, said that Gonzaga and Creighton could be the best two teams in the country!  Hmmmm.

What did they say about Youngstown State? :ninja:

I wonder if he still feels that way today after Villanova beat Creighton by double-digits on Creighton's home floor?

I have my doubts that this has ever happened before but each and every MAC team enters conference play off of a win.

Buffalo better pull that game out vs. OU after choking a big lead at home!  Kent in OT and home against NIU.

NIU did beat Kent but the Bulls got robbed. The Bobcats miss two three throws with 30 seconds left and the rest called a jump ball on the rebound that it appeared Buffalo controlled. The arrow gave it back to the Bobcats and they won it on a jumper.
