KENT, Ohio -- The Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center had been a bit of a house of horrors for the Ball State men's basketball team for some time.
BSU had lost 11 straight on Kent State's home floor. Hadn't won there since 1999. Went to overtime on the last visit but couldn't get it.
On Tuesday night, the Cardinals exorcised the demons.
Ball State (13-9, 6-3 MAC) shook off a slow start to overcome a 13-point deficit and grab the lead by halftime. The Cardinals never trailed after the break on the way to a 62-54 victory.
