How much could change in two and a half weeks? Well, a lot. It seemed like the 15-point loss at Kent State was a huge low-point as the Golden Flashes got up to 6-1 and Eastern Michigan fell to 2-5 conference records, but EMU was able to play another complete 40-minute basketball game, keeping their composure when things went south in certain areas, and still ran away with a much-needed 75-70 win.
Getting points in the paint would have to serve as a huge reason for EMU (13-12, 5-7) to get the win. They lost in that category when they met up in Kent two and a half weeks ago (32-22), and Khaliq Spicer's five blocks certainly helped Kent State (16-9, 7-5) grab that 15-point win.
