The West Division-leading Ball State Cardinals were picked apart by the Buffalo Bulls tonight at home, losing by 27.
Ball State won the tip and immediately converted for three. CJ Massinburg’s shot for Buffalo was blocked and Franko House put two up before scoring again. Two minutes in, David Kadiri got the Bulls on the board, and Blake Hamilton assisted Kadiri for two more. Hamilton himself drew Buffalo within one soon after.
Franko House was fouled on a made layup, and gave himself one more point from the stripe to reassert the Cardinals, but Dontay Caruthers scored off a steal near the 15-minute mark.
