3 reasons Ball State lost to Duquesne basketball: Cardinals fall on another buzzer-beater

PITTSBURGH — The defense was there, Jimmy Clark III was covered by Jarron Coleman with his back to the rim as the clock was winding down. But, somehow, Clark III turned around and drilled a last-second 3-pointer to give Duquesne (7-1) a 78-77 victory over Ball State (4-4).

It was a devastating finish for the Cardinals, who have now lost three of their last four games, despite being in a position to win yet another close game.

Three takeaways:

Duquesne's 3-point shooting

Clark III might not have even seen the basket when he chucked up the game-winning 3-pointer, but it was that kind of day for the Dukes.
