Taylor Person and Franko House combined to hit 9 of 13 shots in the first half, as Ball State built a 10 point lead over the Broncos going into the half.
Seth Dugan got the start again for the Broncos, and led them going into the locker room, with 8 points and 3 rebounds.
The Broncos made a run early in the second half, but Ball State answered, eventually going up by 14 after a Sean Sellers three at the 12:33 mark.
It would have been easy for the Broncos to fold on the road, but true to their nature this season, they fought back.
