MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) -- Jauwan Scaife scored 14 points, Majok Majok
continued to dominate the glass and Ball State rallied past
South Dakota for a 62-51 victory Saturday.



Marcus Posley added 12 points off the bench for the Cardinals
(4-4), and Chris Bond had 11 points and 11 rebounds. Majok, a
junior-college transfer coming off a career-high 17 rebounds in
Wednesday's win over Holy Cross, grabbed 16 boards and added
nine points.



Steve Tecker had 15 points and Trevor Gruis 14 for the Coyotes
(4-6), who tied the back-and-forth game at 39 on Brandon Bos'
3-pointer with 12 minutes to play. But a 15-5 Ball State run,
capped by Scaife's 3-pointer with 5:53 left, put the Cardinals
up 54-44. South Dakota later pulled within 54-51 but didn't
score again.



Ball State shot 43 percent from the field, but that was better
than South Dakota's 34 percent - including 4 of 25 on
3-pointers.
