If the first game of a conference season is one to gauge where a team could be in the race, Ball State might have learned a thing or two Saturday.
The Cardinals found out they are capable of falling behind a good opponent by 17 points, look befuddled at times in the process, and then storm back to claim a victory.
Warning: This is the equivalent of the scarecrow playing with fire.
The Cardinals managed to stay out of the flames and emerge with a 75-69 win against Toledo in their Mid-American Conference opener in Worthen Arena.
