The Ball State men’s basketball team (15-7, 6-3 MAC) has won six of the past seven games, after a 81-80 come-back over Toledo this evening in Worthen Arena.
In an effort to shake a Toledo lead that lasted the entire first half, redshirt freshman Tahjai Teague put up a dunk to tie it at 63. A jumper by redshirt sophomore guard Tayler Persons captured the lead for the Cardinals with 8:52 left to play.
Ball State leading scorers Tayler Persons (26) Franko House (19) Tahjai Teague (16) “I thought our guys played with great energy in the second half and I thought Tayler’s performance tonight was exceptional top to bottom in every category played,” head coach James Whitford said.
