DeKALB — The men’s basketball team suffered a last-second 72-71 loss to the Ball State Cardinals Tuesday at the Convocation Center.
After trailing by seven with 1:39 left in the game, the Huskies went on a 12-5 run to tie the game. Junior guard Eugene German capped the run with a lay up to pull even at 71 with 1.9 seconds remaining.
Senior forward Lacey James intentionally fouled Ball State senior guard Tayler Persons on the inbounds pass, despite the game being tied, sending Persons to the charity stripe for two free throws.
German said the men’s basketball team won’t single out James’ late-game foul as having led to the loss.
