Cowboys Down Ball State 75-56
December 10, 2006 | Cowboy Basketball
The Cowboys (11-0) kept Sean Sutton's record as a head coach perfect. He was promoted after his father, Eddie, retired in May.
On the other bench was another first-year coach with a famous father. Ronny Thompson, son of former Georgetown coach John Thompson, was hired by the Cardinals in April.
When Ball State (3-6) went cold from the field, the Cowboys took advantage and blew the game open.
Leading 27-23, Oklahoma State scored the last eight points of the first half and the first eight of the second to open a 20-point lead.
Terrel Harris hit a 3-pointer a minute into the second half, then stole the ball and scored on a fastbreak layup. Boggan hit a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired for a 43-23 lead with 17:29 left.
Ball State went without a field goal for nearly 10 minutes. After Peyton Stovall hit a 3-pointer with 4:16 left in the first half, the Cardinals didn't hit another shot from the field until Skip Mills made a layup with 14:36 left to play that pulled the Cardinals to 43-29.
Mills lead Ball State with 15 points.
