The Wildcats finished the game shooting 52 percent from the field and held Ball State to 41 percent shooting. WSU knocked down seven 3-pointers and outrebounded the Cardinals 37-32.
"It was a grind and wasn't very pretty, but we stayed together and showed a lot of toughness down the stretch," Weber State coach Randy Rahe said. "We got the stops we needed to and were able to get some shots to fall and got things going."
The Wildcats will finish the three game tournament at the Jersey Mike's Classic on Sunday, taking on Green Bay at 10 a.m. MT. The game will be streamed on Pluto TV.
