If the Indiana Hoosiers are on upset watch in the NCAA Tournament, what is it about the Kent State Golden Flashes that makes them a dangerous team? An experienced team out of the Mid-American Conference, Kent State has all the ingredients to be an upset team.

On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) welcomes in KentWired reporter Jacob Sholden (@JacobSholden) to discuss the Golden Flashes this season. A team built on experience and defense, Kent State earned a win in the MAC Tournament championship game to get back to the NCAA Tourney.

Led by Sincere Carry, the Golden Flashes have an offense that may not be efficient but puts up shots at a high volume. With MAC Defensive Player of the Year Malique Jacobs leading the way on the other end, Kent State is one of the best in the nation at creating turnovers. It's a team that is prone to offensive lulls and may struggle to defend Trayce Jackson-Davis, but is it still enough to upset IU?
