YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) -- Chris Bond made two free throws with 1
second left, lifting Ball State to a 60-58 victory over Eastern
Michigan on Wednesday night in the Mid-American Conference
opener for both teams.



Bond, who scored 18 points on 8-of-8 shooting for the Cardinals
(7-6), was fouled by Da'Shonte Riley and sank both foul shots.
Eastern Michigan couldn't get off another shot before the
buzzer.



Jauwan Scaife also scored 18 and made four 3-pointers for Ball
State, which led most of the game and shot 58.5 percent from the
field but didn't make a field goal after Bond's jumper with 4:26
to play. Eastern Michigan tied the game with a 10-2 run, capped
by two Jalen Ross free throws with 8 seconds left, before Bond
won it.



Derek Thompson scored 16 points and J.R. Sims had 12 for the
Eagles (7-8), who won both their games against the Cardinals
last season.
