A familiar scene played out at Savage Arena Saturday afternoon: the University of Toledo women’s basketball team rallying in the second half, only to come up on the wrong side of the scoreboard.
The Rockets fell victim to superb shooting by Ball State, which shot 50 percent from the field and 3-point range, connecting on 12 of 24 attempts from beyond the arc, en route to an 88-77 victory over UT.
The problem was that Ball State entered the game making less than 30 percent of its 3s, ranking 10th in the Mid-American Conference. The usually-understated Tricia Cullop was noticeably animated on the sideline, vexed by her team’s inability to challenge Ball State’s shooters.
