Kansas University's men's basketball team will play defending Mid-America Conference champion Kent State next season in Allen Fieldhouse. No date has yet been determined for the game, KU senior associate athletic director Larry Keating said Friday. The Golden Flashes return three starters off last year's 28-7 squad, including MAC player of the year Al Fisher, a 6-foot-1 junior from Pennsauken, N.J.
