Ball State women's basketball proved it can compete at the highest level in the Mid-American Conference.
One play — Ball State women's basketball coach Brady Sallee said one play was all that separated the Cardinals and Ohio in a slugfest between MAC leaders on Jan. 30.
But Sallee doesn't know where that play was. He said it could've been a couple turnovers over the course of the game. Or maybe some timely Ohio shots.
Central Michigan - 7-2
Ball State - 6-2
Toledo - 5-3
Western Michigan - 5-4
Eastern Michigan - 4-5
Northern Illinois - 2-7
Whatever that "one play" was, it cost the Cardinals in a 68-67 loss, its first home loss this season.
