2016-17 MAC Basketball Recap: Alabama routs Ball State, 77-59

Alabama’s bench put on a show, with three players from the Crimson Tide bench scoring in double figures to put away Ball State, 77-59 on Friday night.

Ball State was able to contain the Tide in the early minutes, but once Alabama had their second unit on the floor, things took a quick turn.

Holding just a 13-12 lead halfway through the first half, it looked like Alabama wouldn’t be able to pull away from the Cardinals.

That’s when things changed.

The Crimson Tide used a 23-9 run to take a 36-22 lead in route to holding a ten point advantage at the break.
