[pmann]

I know what you mean on the Wisky.
I had a bad feeling about KY yesterday when I placed the bet. I felt it might be a trap, I couldnt see why they were getting the points, thought they were the better team even on the road. Thought UK's offense would put up the Points all night.
I got the same feeling about Wisky ..I cant see why they are getting 5 even on the road, their D is awesome.

GL tonight. I like your Bowling Green play! I think I will add it.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The Kent State men’s basketball program made it a 10th straight year with 20 wins Tuesday night (Feb. 12) with a 79-66 win at Central Michigan. The victory improved Golden Flashes to 20-5 overall and 9-2 in the Mid-American Conference. KSU becomes just the third team in the country to have won 20 or more games each of the past 10 seasons. CMU fell to 10-13 and 5-6 MAC with the loss.

“Every year we are pursing the MAC championship and if you do that then 20 wins is a by-product,” said Head Coach Jim Christian, “Obviously I’m proud of these guys, I’m proud of seniors Mike Scott and Q (Haminn Quaintance) and what they have accomplished. Every year we challenge the seniors not to let it end on their watch and those guys were able to do it tonight and to get it on the road it was very gratifying.”

Junior Al Fisher (Pennsauken, N.J. / Redlands C.C.), led the way with a career best 28 points along with seven assists while junior guard Jordan Mincy (Memphis, Tenn. / Ridgeway) scored a season high nine points along with his defensive pressure.

Kent State, which never trailed, opened up a 12-2 lead in the first five minutes behind six points from Fisher. Later in the half, Jordan Bitzer hit back to back threes to help bring CMU to within four (23-19) with just under eight minutes left in the first period. Fisher would add on to his hot start scoring eight more points before halftime as KSU hung on to a 35-29 advantage.

After two three-pointers from the Chippewas cut the deficit to three (40-37) in the opening minutes of the second half, four different players scored for Kent State during an 11-2 run that brought the lead back to 53-41. Sophomore guard Rodriquez Sherman (Indianapolis, Ind./Ben Davis) kept the momentum going taking the lead to 16 points (60-44) with a three at the 8:09 mark. As they have the past nine games, the Golden Flashes continued their success from the foul line and iced the game making 13 of 14 in the final five minutes. Fisher shot 9-10 during the stanza and 11 for 15 for the game.

For the game KSU shot 75.0 percent (18-24) from the foul line - the 10th straight game over 70.0 percent - and 50.0 percent for the game. The Golden Flashes also held a 41-37 edge in rebounding led by nine from senior Haminn Quaintance (Sarasota, Fla. / Jacksonville U.). Quaintance also added three blocks along to become the first player in NCAA history to reach career milestones of 1,200 points, 800 rebounds, 250 blocks, 250 assists, and 200 steals.

Senior Mike Scott (Indianapolis, Ind./Northwest) added the 46th double digit game of his career with 10 points. CMU, which shot 37.1 percent in the game, was led by 20 points from Giordan Watson.

Kent State returns to action on Saturday against Ohio at the M.A.C. Center. The game is scheduled for a 2:30 pm tip and will be televised by Fox Sports Ohio.

NOTES: Al Fisher’s previous career high was 21 points ... Haminn Quaintance now has 1,251 points - 834 rebounds - 273 assists - 252 blocks - 201 steals ... The Golden Flashes have won 17 straight when scoring over 70 points.
