KENNESAW, Ga. – After honoring Yonel Brown and Nigel Pruitt on senior night, Kennesaw State took care of business in its last regular season home game in the KSU Convocation Center, beating Jacksonville 90-69.
 
Brown led the team like he has during his entire career posting 27 points going 9-14 from the field. He also had six rebounds and five assists.
 
The Owls only trailed for 41 seconds and that was when JU hit a free throw to lead 1-0.
 
In the first half, KSU built a lead as large as 16 points after Pruitt made a pair of free throws with 1:35 remaining. Facing the 16-point deficit, JU went on a 6-0 run to make the score 44-34 at halftime.
 
Out of the break, the Dolphins got as close as six points, but KSU quickly pushed it back to 12 points forcing Jacksonville to use a timeout with 13:33 remaining in the game.
 
The Owls lead only got to single-digits one more time after that as the KSU defense held Jacksonville to 36.7 percent shooting for the game.
 
Despite the Dolphins going 22-34 from the free throw line, Kennesaw State still built a lead as large as 23 points and went on to win 90-69.

On the team's defensive intensity against Jacksonville
"The thing I was probably most pleased about is I think earlier in the season when we got fouls that we considered cheap fouls we would get frustrated. The last couple of games that hasn't happened. We just continued to play and when guys are playing like that, that means they're giving up themselves to the team because they continue to put forth effort regardless of the foul situation. I think earlier in the year, everyone was concerned with themselves and worried to play tough defense if they were in foul trouble. I changed practice up a little bit to make a point with that, but they've gone out and exercised some of the things that we talked about."
- Kennesaw State Head Coach Al Skinner
