The Eagles came away from the Crisler Center with a 45-42 victory over the Wolverines, in large part to Talley. It was just the third time in 30 meetings that EMU had defeated Michigan and Talley filled up the stat sheet for Eastern. The Detroit, Mich. native scored nine points, including hitting on seven-of-eight opportunities at the charity stripe, dishing out a game-high six assists, while pulling down three rebounds and picking the Wolverines pocket on one occasion, leading the Eagles to their biggest non-conference victory in the Rob Murphy era.

Hall also pulled down a game-high 8 rebounds to help the Golden Flashes hold a 42-34 edge on the glass and a 19-6 advantage in second-chance points. Hall has scored in double-figures in all 8 games this season to become the first player to score at least 10 points in his first 8 games in a Kent State uniform in more than 15 years.
