Walker led the way in the scoring column, with 24 points on 50 percent shooting. He also pulled down seven rebounds, one shy of his career-high.

Walker scored two fast break buckets in the final 35 seconds that iced the contest. Defensively, Walker was crucial in holding Texas to 58 points. Walker played 39 of the 40 minutes available. During that time, Walker and the Flashes held Texas to .777 points per possession at home, by far their lowest output of the season. The opposing starting guards combined to shoot 8-for-21 against Kent State's defense.
