Ball State walked into the locker room at Millett Hall in Oxford, Ohio, with a sense of urgency, and that urgency lead to a 73-56 victory over Miami.
The Cardinals (17-9, 8-5 Mid-American Conference) were up 32-28, but needed to find a way to beat the pressing defense of the RedHawks if they wanted to move to first place in the MAC West Division.
Behind the efforts of junior forward Franko House and freshman forward Trey Moses, the Cardinals were able to move onto victory.
Moses was able to outplay the RedHawks through his passing attack.
