After hitting a season-high 18 points in its last matchup, Ball State men's basketball only made five 3-pointers during its 65-57 loss to Central Michigan.
With a victory, the Cardinals could have clinched the Mid-American Conference West outright, but after the loss, the two are tied for the division lead, both sitting at 10-7 in the conference.
“I don’t think there was a high expectation,” junior forward Franko House said. “It is little stuff like that when guys aren’t knocking down shots. It is disappointing for them and us.”
House led the team in scoring, with 23 points, but the Cardinals shot 36.
