I believe the game went about how I expected it to go. I predicted the halftime score would favor Indiana by 8 points and was correct about that. I also predicted Indiana would win by double digits and the Hoosiers won by 11.
It was a great effort by the Flashes but the effort in Farleigh Dickinson's upset win over Purdue was even more impressive.
It is always nice to see Kent State in the NCAA Tournament but the Flashes' 97-80 loss to UCLA in 2017 and the 71-60 loss to Indiana last night are not enough to give Kent State "national distinctiveness" no matter what Flash Fanatics want to believe. The quest for national distinctiveness is admirable but the reality is it is still an elusive goal.
