RedHawks win nail-biter over Ball State
For the second time this season, the Miami RedHawks used the Ball State Cardinals as a bounce-back opponent.
Last month, Miami lugged a four-game losing streak into Muncie, Indiana, and left with its first Mid-American Conference victory.
On Tuesday, after losing to MAC-cellar-dweller Western Michigan in overtime on Saturday, the RedHawks bounced back again versus Ball State despite not tallying a field goal in the last 11 minutes.
Miami (14-12, 6-7 MAC) fended off a second-half Cardinal comeback to hold on for a 69-66 win. It didn’t come without difficulties.
