Five Cougars Score in Double-Figures in Win Over Kent State

KENT, Ohio – The College of Charleston men's basketball team defeated Kent State 84-78 on Sunday evening for a resume building non-conference win.

Reyne Smith and Ben Burnham started the scoring for the Cougars with back-to-back triples to foreshadow what would be a stellar night from three-point for Charleston.

Neither team took more than a three-point lead through the half until a 6-0 Kent State gave the Golden Flashes a 32-26 lead, the largest of the evening for either team. The teams traded points from that point on, giving Kent State a 41-35 edge entering the half. Reyne Smith went 3-for-5 from deep during the period for 11 points in the half.

Smith scored his fourth and fifth three of the night within a 90 second span of the half before Frankie Policelli joined the three-point party to give Charleston the 44-41 lead less than two minutes into the frame.

Charleston went on a 14-0 run before Kent State was able to score their first points of the half 15 minutes in on a pair of free throws. The Golden Flashes slowly crawled back into the contest before a speedy Jordan Crawford went on his own five-point to give CofC a nine-point lead with just under ten minutes to play.

The Golden Flashes came within two points at 68-66 and took their first lead of the half at 73-71 with three minutes to play. The Cougars closed out the game on a 13-7 run to seal the comeback victory.
