Loss unchanged after suspensions

The Mid-American Conference gave its resolution to the Eastern Michigan-Ball State ending Sunday afternoon by suspending two of the three referees involved for two games and banned them from MAC post-season play.

The play in question came at the end of the second overtime period and the referees clearly missed multiple foul calls and a traveling call that allowed Ball State to steal the ball and pass it out for a game-winning three point shot.

"The final play of the game was not handled appropriately by several officials and unfortunately took away from what was a highly competitive and entertaining game for the competing students and fans," MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said.
