At the 9:16 mark of the second half of today's game between the Akron Zips and Ball State Cardinals, the final score and winning team was very much in doubt. Akron lead Ball State 56-53 at that exact time, but the Cardinals had been cutting the Akron lead down for the greater part of the second half after the Zips went into halftime up 11. With nine minutes to go, Ball State had the lead down to one possession and looked poised to finally make a run.
Except that didn't happen.
Over the course of the next eight minutes, no Cardinal shot attempt fell.
