MUNCIE, Ind. -- Visiting Loyola Chicago limited the Ball State men's basketball team to 18 points in the first half and held off a late Cardinals charge for a 70-58 victory Tuesday night in Worthen Arena.
Loyola (5-4) never trailed on the way to earning its second straight win. An 11-0 spurt late in the first half allowed the Ramblers to build a 13-point cushion. The Cardinals were held without a field goal the final 5:20 of the opening stanza and went into the break trailing, 31-18.
"I have to get us off to better starts and playing more consistently," Ball State head coach James Whitford said.
