MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State shook off an eight-point deficit early in the second half to rally for a 75-68 victory at Ohio and end several long-running streaks.
It was the Cardinals' first win against Ohio since 2011, breaking an eight-game losing streak. Ball State hadn't won at Ohio since 2010, and Ball State coach James Whitford had lost all six games against Ohio.
