CHICAGO -- Last night, Illinois State had its way inside with Indiana. Today, Kent State is taking it inside on them. Haminn Quaintance (the KSU radio guy next to me just calls him "Q" missed a dunk, but has two layups and two steals already and will be going to the line after the timeout.

KSU leads, 6-4, at the first break.

During timeouts, they blast music so loud that I can't hear the guy next to me. He leaned over and said that they are trying to make up for a lack of attendance by playing the music so loud. It doesn't work.

Al Fisher, who had a good game last night for the Flashes off the bench, started tonight.

Also, Jordan Mincy of Kent State is playing with his wrist heavily wrapped because of a sprain suffered against Longwood.
