Men's Basketball
The Golden Flashes have high expectations this season as they concluded their 2021-22 season 23-11 overall and will return with ten players from the last Golden Flashes team including five players with 14 or more starts from a season ago. The Mid-American Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll voted Kent State first for the 2022-23 season.
Two returning players, Sincere Carry and Malique Jacobs, also captured votes in the Mid-American Conference Preseason Coaches Poll. Carry is predicted to have another season in the First Team All-MAC and Jacobs was voted to join the Second Team All-MAC.
Coach Rob Senderoff finished his 11th season as Kent State's head coach after being named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year and ranks all-time winningest coach in program history with 219 wins.

Led by seventh-year head coach Todd Starkey, the Golden Flashes are ranked No. 20 in the preseason Mid-Major Top 25 poll that was released on Nov. 1.
Guard Katie Shumate and forward Lindsey Thall lead a veteran group that brings back six of its top seven scorers from a year ago. Shumate, an All-MAC honorable mention selection during her first two seasons as a Flash, was the team's top scorer last season at 12.1 points per game. Thall averaged 11.4 points and a career-best 5.2 rebounds per contest. The 2021 MAC honorable mention and two-time MAC All-Defensive Team selection is Kent State's career leader in three-point field goals (218) and ranks second in blocked shots (172).

Visitors will enjoy three exhibitions that highlight outstanding objects from the Museum’s permanent collection. Hats, coats, and shoes are essential garments that shield our bodies from the weather and concurrently speak to the fashion and traditions of the period in which they are worn, while reflecting our personal style.
It's a Wrap! Coats
Stager Gallery
Coats keep us warm, keep us dry, and often keep us very stylish. This exhibition brings together an array of 20th and 21st century men’s and women’s coats from the KSU Museum collection that highlight the changing trends of their time. The sources for today’s coats include the Chesterfield, Frock, Redingote, Pea, Mourning, Puffer, Duster, and of course, the Trench. Inspired by men’s tailoring, the military, and the dressing preferences of European Royals, coats are that stylish layer between the wearer and the world.
Heads Up! Hats
Blum Gallery
From the sublime to the ridiculous, the practical to the beautiful, hats come in all shapes, styles, and colors. Heads Up! presents highlights from the collection from the 19th century to today. Some hats are made by anonymous designers, others by well known milliners like Peter Bentley, Bes-Ben, Patricia Underwood, and Patrick Treacy. A few of the great fashion designers, notably Chanel and Halston, began their careers as milliners. The exhibition is arranged by color, spanning the spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet, as well as black and white.
Stepping Out! Shoes
Stager/Blum Hallway Gallery
Until the 20th century, the names of shoemakers were rarely known by anyone other than the customer. That began to change in the late 19th century as shoemakers like Jean-Louise Francois Pinot and Andre Perugia began producing shoes for fashion designers Paul Poiret and Schiaparelli. The invention of the sewing machine and rise of manufacturing brought a new era to shoemaking. Such advances supported the creativity of designers like Salvatore Ferragamo and Roger Vivier, who established a world of possibilities through designs. Today, shoes continue to fascinate, and their superstar status is indicated by the ‘one name’ that even non-fashionistas know: Manolo and Louboutin. The exhibition includes examples from the late 19th century until today, organized by type of shoe from oxfords to platforms and stilettos.
The exhibits run through July 23, 2023.
Join us during spring break for our first ever glow-in-the-dark egg hunt. Tickets include an adults-only reception with Kent State’s official craft beer and an egg hunt after sunset on front campus.
