Ball State knocked off Central Michigan 74-71.
FIRST HALF
The senior five of Jesse Berry, Chris Bond, Kindon Crowder, Tyler Koch and Majok Majok were honored before the start of the final home game of the season.
Ball State controlled the action early as it built a sizable 11-2 run to open up Senior Day. Koch was key as he played the role of “stretch 4,” sitting at the top of the key and feeding Majok in the post for scoring opportunities.
Berry paced the Cardinals in the first half with 12 points on 3-5 shooting from beyond the 3-point line. Freshman Zavier Turner dished out six assists with only one turnover in his scoreless first half as the Cardinals held a 30-29 halftime lead.
SECOND HALF
Majok scored six points and pulled down nine rebounds in the closing half to finish with 14 points and 14 rebounds giving him his ninth double-double of the season.
Koch was dubbed the player of the game with his 7 points, six rebounds and four assists in his 27 minutes of action. Berry posted 20 points on 4-8 shooting from deep. Turner had a complete second half as he finished the game with 12 points and seven assists.
Ball State moves to 5-22 on the season with two regular season games left. The win put the Cardinals at 2-14 in the Mid-American Conference. The team travels to Eastern Michigan on Tuesday.
