# 1921–22 Kent State Golden Flashes men's basketball team

The 1920–21 Kent State Normal College men's basketball team was the men's basketball team at what is now Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, then known as Kent State Normal College.

The men's basketball team played eight games in late 1921 and early 1922, finishing with a record of 1–7. It was the third year for coach Paul G. Chandler.

There was not yet an established nickname for teams for the college, and the school colors were the original orange and blue. Ed. Evans served as team captain with Smith Line as manager. The roster also comprised Howard Shepherd, Ralph Rogers, Leroy Elker, Howard Evans, Harold Luxon and L.E. Hardy.

Early basketball games were held in various locations, such as the atrium of the original Administration Building (known as Cartwright Hall since 2006), in the basement of the original heating plant, in the local Congregational Church gymnasium, and at Kent High School, as a permanent gymnasium was not built on campus until 1925.
