A KEY CONFERENCE GAME ... IN DECEMBER It’s not often teams have a conference game in December with the added importance that Tuesday’s game will carry. Ball State can put itself in prime standings position and would be the only team in the league with a 2-0 record and two road wins. After the holidays, Ball State plays its next two games at home against Ohio and Western Michigan. WMU is also shooting for a 2-0 start, but with two home wins. 2. AMONG THE TOP SCORING DUOS IN THE LEAGUE It was clear coming into the season Ball State’s strength would lie in its experienced backcourt - and that has been true. K.J. Walton and Ishmael El-Amin form the third-highest scoring duo in the conference with a combined 36.2 points per game. Akron’s Loren Jackson and Enrique Freeman combine for 37.3 points per game but Akron has only played three games. Walton has scored double figures in every game this season and 18+ points four times. El-Amin scored 20 points a week ago vs. Illinois State and had 22 in the overtime win at Northern Illinois. Walton and El-Amin together account for 51.2% of BSU’s scoring. 3. CARDS AND BRONCOS - THE SERIES Ball State and Western Michigan have played each other in basketball since 1932, when Branch McCracken coached the Cardinals to a 35-31 win over Western Mich- igan. The all-time series is exactly even with 67 wins on each side. The Cardinals have won three of the last four and six of the last 10 against WMU. Ball State is 7-4 against Western Michigan dating back to 2016, including a MAC tourney win in 2017. 4. HIT THE HOLIDAYS ON A HIGH NOTE Teams around the country always strive to win the last game before the holiday, assuming the team will have some sort of a break between games. The Cardinals won the last game before Christmas in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Last year, the Cardinals won a neutral-site game over Portland on Christmas Day as part of a four-game swing that saw the Cards go 2-2 and beat Georgia Tech. Following Tuesday’s game, Ball State won’t play again until January 2, a span of 11 days between games. 5. NOT PLAYING WITH A FULL DECK OF CARDS Ball State has been bitten by the injury bug in the preseason. Notably, 2020 MAC Freshman of the Year Jarron Coleman is out after having foot surgery in October. Transfer Reggie Jones, who scored 723 career points at Western Michigan and Tulsa, is also out with a lower body injury. Additionally, many players have missed practice time for various reasons in a very disjointed offseason. Ball State at Western Michigan - 12/22/20 #0 | Miryne Thomas #1 | K.J. Walton #2 | Luke Bumbalough #3 | Teemu Suokas #4 | Josh Bryan R-Jr. | F | 6-8 | 200 R-Sr. | G | 6-3 | 200 Fr. | G | 6-1 | 180 Fr. | G | 6-2 | 185 So. | G | 6-5 | 185 Cleveland, Ohio Indianapolis, Ind.

    Esperando Marzo • NCAA BASKETBALL REVIEW • TEMPORADA 2017/18 • El vertiginoso, explosivo e impredecible baloncesto universitario norteamericano aterriza un año más en este mes de noviembre. Mucho tiempo de ardua espera para escasos cinco meses de intensa actividad, de despropósitos, de lágrimas y de euforia, de magia y de cenicientas. Una competición especial, distinta a cualquier otra. Que esta humilde publicación sirva para que los aficionados más nobeles se enganchen definitivamente a ella, y los que ya llevamos muchos años de nuestra vida consumiéndola, la disfrutemos como si fuera la primera vez. Lean y disfruten, que empieza la locura.
