For the first time since Jan. 2, 2005, Ball State (16-9, 7-5 Mid-American Conference) beat Kent State (12-13, 6-6 MAC), 87-68, behind frontcourt domination from Trey Moses and Tahjai Teague.
Moses led the Cardinals with 22 points on 9-for-10 shooting, and Teague added 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting and a season-high 14 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season. The tandem controlled the paint all game, and Ball State finished with a 39-26 rebounding advantage and scored 50 points in the paint compared to the Flashes’ 30.
This is a polar opposite to the first time these two teams squared off, an 88-80 overtime win for the Flashes at the M.
