MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State returned to Worthen Arena on Saturday for its first home game since mid-January and notched a 65-54 win against Mid-American Conference foe Ohio.
The Cardinals (12-9, 5-3 in MAC) rebounded from back-to-back conference losses to tally this victory. They ended a two-game losing streak against the Bobcats (10-12, 2-7), who swept the Cardinals last season, too. And BSU coach James Whitford’s squad is now 4-0 at home against conference opponents so far this season.
