MUNCIE, Ind. — On one end of the court, the 3-pointers kept falling and the smiles kept growing. On the other end, miscommunication and perhaps a little frustration led to compounded mistakes.
Ball State's men's basketball team welcomed an experienced Division II Michigan Tech team that made the NCAA Tournament each of the past two years and five times in the last nine for an exhibition.
The Huskies, who led most of the game and by as many as 17 with 6:30 left in the second half, left with a 70-69 victory. Ball State climbed back and had a chance to win the game in the final seconds but didn't.
