Yes, yes, yes. My Alma Mater is in the SWEET 16!! For the first time ever, the Kent State Golden Flashes have advanced to the sweet 16, with a very good possibility of moving on to the Elite 8. If They can get by Pittsburg, they'll move on to the winner of the Duke/ Indiana Game. And Kent beat Indiana last year with basically the same team that they have this year! Do they have a good chance to make it to the final 4? With as good as they have played this year, it's quite possible!! We'll find out thursday night! Gooooo Flashes!!

The ducks and texas play tonight................I am not much of a basketball fan ..........but it would be nice to see the ducks win

 

I am very saddened as my alma mater's "golden" ride as come to an end. Hats off to Indiana. They played like a team possesed, raining down three's like nobody has ever seen! I don't think the Lakers could have beat Indiana last night. But on the same note, I'm very glad to have witnessed the greatest spectacle in not only Kent State history, but also the history of the MAC. The Golden Flashes played as a team, no one more important than another. When one is slumping , the others take over, they make no excuses for anything! I was completely choked-up as I watched the post game interveiws of the seniors, admit they wish they had played better, applauded Indiana for their amazing performance, and how they wouldn't have traded any of it ! The love and respect that those guys have for each other, their old coach (Gary Waters who went to Rutgers) and their new friend and coach Stan Heath was overwhelming. They accomplished what less than 2% ever will. They were a team of good players, but not all star great. Some couldn't get in to the bigger schools, they were told they didn't have the right stuff. But they proved them all wrong. They were into what was really important ... teamwork. And with that ambition, they defeated schools that spend more money on basketball alone than Kent spends on all of its sports combined. And with that same ambition, they would never give up trying. Not even when Indiana was playing the game of a lifetime! I am honored to consider myself an alumni of this wonderfull university, and I am so blessed to have been just one of may witnesses to the best 3 years of basketball this area has ever seen, and we may never see it again! Thank you for allowing us to witness history! And always, go KSU!!!!!
