Western Michigan (16-11, 4-8 Road) At Ball State (7-18, 6-6 Home)
7 pm. Muncie, Indiana.
Ball State has lost 12 consecutive games.
Bet is they win tonight, breaking the streak.
Despite losing last 12, Ball St is 6-6 at home.
Return of Matt Kamieniecki at Forward. All-around impact "big"
not only in scoring but blocks, rebounds and steals.
The first game of the 12-game losing streak which Ball St lost
was visiting at Western Michigan, and tonight the streak can end
vs. same opponent.
Matt Kamieniecki was effective in that 93-95 2OT loss.
How tight can you get ?
WM allows 35.3% Avg on 3's.. Ball Avg is 36% on 3's.
Ball State is 37-21 against the Broncos in Muncie.
- not entirely sure about WMU's motivation in this game. The conference
tournament is where they have to cut their mustard for the long-shot
chance at NCAA tournament. Ball State on the other hand will be seeking
to break out of the huge losing streak and return to competitive form into
the conference tournament where anything can happen. WMU just coughed
up 97 points to Toledo. Sure, Ball State is not Toledo, but with the return of
Kamieniecki, the home court motivation for a win and effectiveness from
beyond the arc, the Cardinals can take this tonight.
