The Ball State men’s basketball team looked to capture its first road victory of the season against Central Michigan on Wednesday.

The Chippewas team, which has never held a lead in regulation, pushed the Cardinals to triple-overtime. The game ended with the home team on top, 101-95.

Ball State fell to 4-20 on the season with the loss. Senior forward Chris Bond scored a career-high 21 points to pace Ball State, a team that has lost its last eight Mid-American Conference games and sits at 1-12 in MAC play. Senior guard Jesse Berry scored 19 points in a team-high 52 minutes.

Senior center Majok Majok was unable to finish the game after an injury. Freshman point guard Zavier Turner fouled out in the third overtime period, leaving Ball State without two of its starters.

The Cardinals’ road trip continues with a game at Toledo on Sunday.
