The No. 23 Kent State men’s basketball team lost to Bowling Green 89-83 this afternoon at Anderson Arena in Bowling Green.

The Flashes (23-6, 11-3 Mid-American Conference) dropped their first game ever as a ranked team primarily because of Bowling Green’s hot outside shooting. The Falcons (13-14, 7-7) made 11-of-21 3-pointers.

Senior forward Mike Scott scored a career-high 23 points to lead the Flashes. Junior guard Al Fisher had 20 points and sophomore guard Chris Singletary added 16.

The Flashes will play Miami on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the M.A.C. Center.
