The Ramblers were probably out for revenge after losing 74-42 to them when the teams met back in January of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.

What's more, Hall also racked up five blocks, the most he's had since back in December of 2024.

Eastern will look to defend their home court on Friday against Banneker at 7:30 p.m. Banneker knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past three matches -- so hopefully Eastern likes a good challenge.
