DALLAS, Texas – The Ball State men's basketball team played a strong second half but fell 90-65 to SMU on Friday night at Moody Coliseum.
The Cardinals (1-3) trailed 51-17 at halftime but made it a 73-55 game following a Trey Lewis 3-pointer with 6:42 to play that capped a 15-0 scoring run. The host Mustangs (4-0) scored 17 of the final 27 points of the contest from there to secure the home win.
Sean Blake (19 points, five rebounds, seven assists) and Trey Lewis (19 points, three rebounds, three blocks) paced the visiting Cardinals in scoring, while Javion Guy-King followed with eight points and Joey Hart six points.
The Mustangs got out to an early 24-1 lead on their way to the halftime advantage. The hosts shot 58.6 percent from the field in the opening period but were limited to 25 percent (6-24) on field goals in the second half.
Both Blake (15 points) and Lewis (14) put up the majority of their offensive production in the second frame, as the 15-0 rally that started at the 9:19 mark on a 3-pointer by Hart featured baskets from four different players. Ball State went 45.2 percent on field goals in the second 20 minutes including 50 percent (8-16) from distance.
The host Mustangs won the rebounding battle 44-32 and held a 28-16 advantage on points in the paint, while Ball State committed more turnovers (10-8) on the night.
For the game, the Cardinals shot 31.7 percent (19-60) from the field, 37.0 percent (10-27) on 3-pointers and 77.3 percent (17-22) at the foul line. SMU went 43.4 percent (23-53) on field goals including 47.1 percent (8-17) from distance while making 87.8 percent (36-41) of its free throw attempts.
Ball State remains on the road and next plays at Florida State on Tuesday night.
