YPSILANTI, Mich. -- Jimmy Hall had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Jaylin Walker grabbed a key offensive rebound and made two late free throws, and Kent State held off Eastern Michigan 70-64 on Tuesday night.
The game was tied at 64 when Walker missed a 3-point shot and Deon Edwin was off on a putback. Walker grabbed Edwin's rebound and then drew a flagrant foul from Baylee Steele, who unintentionally hit Walker in the face when trying to block his right-handed hook shot with 11.9 seconds left.
Walker made both free throws and Mitch Peterson added two more to seal it.
