An abysmal first half
Ball State played its worst half of basketball all year. And it wasn’t really any one area that plagued the Cardinals.
They started the game 0 for 4 shooting as the RedHawks opened up a seven-point lead and started to take control. Ball State came into the game shooting 44 percent from the floor, and had two of the MAC’s best 3-point shooters in junior Ryan Weber and sophomore Francis Kiapway.
