42 @BallStateMBB | BallStateSports.com CLIPPINGS CARDINALS IN THE NEWS ‘I think we can do it’: BSU men’s basketball confident it can win MAC, reach NCAA Tournament Jordan Guskey, The Star Press, Nov. 1, 2019

MUNCIE, Ind. — James Whitford took the job as Ball State’s head men’s basketball coach ahead of the 2013-14 season with two major goals in mind.

The former Miami (Ohio), Xavier and Arizona assistant, one who had reached the NCAA Tournament nine times and Elite Eight twice in 19 years with those schools, wanted to win the Mid-American Conference outright and reach the NCAA Tournament.

Neither goal has been accomplished so far. The Cardinals tied for the MAC West Division title twice, in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They won 21 games in back-to-back seasons after winning a combined 12 games the two seasons prior, and 19 in 2017-18. But as close as they’ve come to those two goals, they haven’t reached them. Ball State’s drought of NCAA Tournament appearances dates back to the 1999-2000 campaign, and last season the Cardinals sputtered to a 16-17 finish with a 6-12 mark in the MAC.

This season, though, Whitford is not shying away from the potential his group possesses. He’s not guaranteeing anything. He’s not vowing the Cardinals will enjoy a prominent spot come March Madness. But he’s confident, as his players are, they’ll leave behind the bad taste from last season and compete both for a MAC title and a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

“I think this is a team that’s capable of doing it,” Whitford said. “I look at it as a real deep team. I think some of the things that we’re going to have to do is we’re going to have to have a couple — depth of our team is going to be our strength. And we’re going to have to have a couple guys emerge as legit first-team, all- conference players for us to win the league. I don’t think we can do it without that. But I think we can do it.”

Ball State opens its season Nov. 5 at home in Worthen Arena against Defiance. It’ll be the start of the team’s quest toward rebounding from its first losing season since 2014-15. It’ll be the start of the team’s journey toward possibly realizing its potential in a way Ball State teams have not been able to do in about two decades.

Whitford sees a conference that’s full of high quality teams. There’s Bowling Green and Buffalo in the East Division. There’s Toledo and Northern Illinois in the West Division. And while six different teams received at least one vote to win the conference tournament in the MAC’s preseason coaches poll and not one went to the Cardinals, while the Rockets and Huskies were picked to finish ahead of the Cardinals in the West Division, Whitford sees a team with the pieces to contend.

“There’s nothing I would have seen so far that would make me feel like it’s not the case,” said Whitford, whose team did receive one vote to win the West Division. “Everything I’ve seen will tell you that. It’s not going to be easy. We’re not Buffalo a year ago where we’ve got to screw it up to lose it. We’re more Bowling Green. We have to have all fires clicking. I think we’ve got to be on it at every level. But I think we’re in the conversation.”

That means veterans such as redshirt senior forward Tahjai Teague, a preseason All-MAC selection in the West Division, senior forward Kyle Mallers, redshirt senior guard K.J. Walton and more playing at All-MAC levels. That means younger players doing their part to ensure this team is as deep as Whitford said it was in a letter to fans published online Sept. 23.

Teague called this Ball State team the most connected group he’s been on. He said it’s more supportive, no matter if something positive or negative happens, than any previous edition of the Cardinals he’s been a part of. And both freshman guard Luke Bumbalough, who’s always had a dream of playing in the NCAA Tournament and chose BSU in part because he believes it can get there, and junior guard Ishmael El-Amin praised how cohesive a unit it is, too.

“We’re a group of guys that’s really connected and really, really all in for one cause and that’s to win a championship this year,” El-Amin said. “We have a great group of guys. Everybody’s dialed in. Everybody’s ready to go. I feel like, once we really get into the season and things start ticking for us, we get in tune with everything we have going on, I think it could be a great year for us.”

Ball State has to replace its top scorer and assists leader in Tayler Persons. It has to replace its blocks leader and second-leading rebounder in Trey Moses. Both are playing professionally overseas now. Both were key to the Cardinals’ successes. Ball State has to improve on a .325 shooting percentage on 3s. It has to improve on a turnover margin that went 1.7 in its opponents’ favor on average. Both hampered the Cardinals last season. Both were things that weren’t major issues for the teams who finished among the top MAC teams.

But Ball State also returns so many players who logged key minutes and were significant contributors last season in Teague, its second-leading scorer and leading rebounder, and Walton, its third-leading scorer and the player with the second-most steals behind Teague, and more. The Cardinals are confident their shooting woes won’t carry over into this season and their offense will be able to spread the floor in a way it wasn’t last season.

Whitford sees a crop of newcomers, including three freshmen new to the program, who are all talented. El-Amin saw a team during its time in Costa Rica this summer mount a comeback against the University of Ottawa from a double- digit deficit in a way he described as “eye-opening.”

This season, Whitford will look for his team to take the next step, just as it did during the 2015-16 season behind the play of guys like Bo Calhoun and Franko House.

“If they brought us from seven wins to 21, they brought us to a team that could compete for the MAC West title, we need another group that can lift us up,” Whitford said, “where we’re not competing for the MAC West but we’re competing for the MAC and we’re competing for the NCAA tournament.”

We before I: Josh Thompson’s road to the top is one less traveled by Jack Williams, Ball State Daily News / 10:00 a.m. Nov. 15, 2019

The all-familiar voice of Ball State Men’s Basketball public address announcer Tom Simpson echoes inside Worthen Arena Nov. 5 before the Cardinals’ home opener against Defiance.

“Let’s meet the Papa John’s starting lineup for your Ball State Cardinals.”

Simpson rolls through the usual names of senior forward Kyle Mallers, redshirt junior forward Brachen Hazen, redshirt senior guard K.J. Walton and junior guard Ishmael El-Amin. The names, places, positions and even heights are routine to fans, including El-Amin, who had only one career start prior to the season.

The fifth man, however, has never stepped on to that starting floor. Four years ago, that fifth man never saw more than four minutes on the game floor. Five years ago, that fifth man didn’t even know if he had a chance to play with this team.

“Starting at guard,” booms Simpson’s voice over the 3,000 inside Worthen Arena, “A 6-foot senior from Indianapolis, Indiana, No. 2 Josh Thompson.”

Thompson’s role on the team as a freshman wasn’t one where he saw a lot of playing time. Redshirting his first year, Thompson spent two seasons as a member of the scout team during practices, getting a collective six minutes of playing time in his first season in a Cardinal uniform.

During his time on the scout team, Thompson said, he was doing the smaller things the team wasn’t working on during practice. If they we’re working on offensive skills, he was working on his defensive skills.

“Everybody else wasn’t focusing on defense, so I tried to be somebody that was focusing on defense and trying to talk,” Thompson said. “That’s what I try to tell the guys here: to try to do the little things that everyone else isn’t doing. When your time comes, you’ll be good.” Among Thompson’s efforts in practice, he’s also had to deal with multiple injuries in high school and college that have left him benched. Ball State head coach James Whitford commends the redshirt’s fight and his desire to continue to play and get better.

“He's really fought hard to earn a roll,” Whitford said. “He's both a good player on the court, and he provides great intangibles of being an everyday guy. He’s someone we can count on to have a great practice and to give his best every night on game night. He’s a complete winner.”

Thompson’s work ethic has ceased to slow down since his freshman year. He comes in around 11 a.m. five times a week to work with assistant coach Matt Crenshaw before heading to team practice, dedicating 30 hours weekly to growing himself and his game.

That attitude of working hard day in and day out has proven Thompson as a leader among his team on and off the court. To Whitford, there is no question he has stepped up as a leader, leading by example and being vocal when needed.

That aspect of having a voice on and off the court is something new to Thompson. As someone who has been fairly quiet on the team, he continues to grow and inspire others through his own voice.

“I was probably one of the quietest guys because I didn't want to step on anybody's toes,” Thompson said. “I was the person who did all the little things and dirty work — guard the best player, set charges and do everything on defense. Now, I'm the older guy on the team. It’s all about being a leader and making sure the little guys are safe.”

In the early season, Thompson has based his leadership ethics on the idea that it’s OK to step on the other guys’ toes. Whether it’s a freshman or a senior, if you’re slipping up, you’re free range to get called out by anyone.

“ I feel like leadership was kind of lacking last year because we didn't want to step on each other's toes,” Thompson said. “This year, I tell everybody that if I messed up, you can get on me. If y’all messing up, I’m going to get on guys too. We all want to hold each other accountable.”

The mentality of “we before I” is something Thompson said sets this team apart. It has a collective mindset of working as a unit and doing what’s best for the team’s overall success. It traces back to the concept of doing the little things, which is what has gotten Thompson to where he is today.

“We never point fingers at each other. It’s all about staying together,” Thompson said. “We'd like start moping, and then coach would get on us because like the whole summer, it is all about staying together. That's one thing we've been trying to be big on this thing together. It's all about we and not just I.”

As Thompson continues the path into his final year with the Cardinals, his name continues to share the same breath as his father’s, Chandler Thompson, a former Cardinal. However, Josh isn’t concerned about the name he’s making for himself compared to his father’s. He’s doing what he can for his team and what can be done now.

“If I hear my name going good, I'll just stay with it,” Josh Thompson said. “Stay positive, stay humble and just keep trying to do everything I know I can do to get this team winning. I know I can make a name for myself if we win [the MAC Championship] this year.”

More than just his dad’s kid, Ishmael El- Amin is ready to star for Ball State basketball Jordan Guskey, The Star Press, Nov. 22, 2019

MUNCIE, Ind. — There were times growing up when the weight of expectations represented more of a burden to Ishmael El-Amin than anything else.

He knows people always thought of him as his dad’s kid. Khalid El-Amin won three state titles as a high school basketball star in Minnesota, earned numerous accolades before moving on to college, won a national title with the University of Connecticut in 1999 and played close to two decades professionally — mostly overseas, although he started in the NBA with the . And all that, all the hype those accomplishments associated with Ishmael’s last name, at one point took Ishmael to "a low place for a little bit."

It took Ishmael a while to realize within himself and vocalize that he and his father are different players, that while Khalid possessed a legacy and style of play, so did he. It took Ishmael a while to embrace being an El-Amin playing high school basketball in Minnesota, especially as so many interviews during his time as an underclassmen felt structured around “my dad this, my dad that.”

But the summer before his junior year of high school, Ishmael’s mindset shifted. Emboldened by workouts in the weight room, developments in his game and more, he became confident in his own potential. He embraced the legacy his father built. He felt a newfound sense of freedom on the court.

A sense of freedom that propelled Ishmael and his teammates at Hopkins High School to a state title that junior season. A sense of freedom that landed the guard an opportunity to play in college at Ball State. A sense of freedom that in the midst of his junior season with the Cardinals has him confident he’s ready to showcase just how much he’s capable of at the Division I level.

“He’s won his championships and done so many great things around this game, I’m trying to do the same thing,” Ishmael said. “But I’m trying to write my own story.”

More than individual or even team aspirations, when Ishmael’s time at Ball State comes to an end he wants to be remembered as a great teammate and someone with a positive image in the community. When asked about his own legacy with the Cardinals, that’s where his mind goes. But Ishmael also wants a Mid- American Conference title. He wants to become the best player he can be. He wants to earn recognition as the conference’s top player.

The past two seasons, Ishmael played behind Tayler Persons, who has since moved on to his own professional career overseas. Now, though, Ishmael is an every-game starter through Ball State’s first five games. Coach James Whitford said he has both earned a starting spot and improved every aspect of his game to the point it’s difficult for Whitford to keep Ishmael off the floor.

The Cardinals (3-2) host Howard University 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Worthen Arena, the second half of a men's-women's doubleheader, with the Cardinal women's team tipping off at 1 p.m. against Butler.

Ishmael is averaging 12.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He is the team’s second-leading scorer. He is tied for the lead in assists. And Whitford credited Ishmael’s efforts to get into the best shape he’s ever been in over the course of the offseason, improved decision-making Whitford described as “the best it’s ever been” and more improvements with enabling Ishmael to become what he has.

“Ish has been mature off the court since the day we’ve had him,” Whitford said. “His being has really matured on the court. He’s become a wise player.”

Khalid has noticed that, too.

Just as Khalid saw Ishmael embrace his role and become more comfortable over time in high school, Khalid’s seen that from his son at Ball State. The maturity evident in Ishmael’s offseason preparation, the way Khalid has heard Ishmael talk, Khalid sees an individual who has something to prove.

“When he was a junior in high school he embraced the, you know, the whole El- Amin aura,” Khalid said. “But he’s coming into his own and I really want him to be his own player. Yes, he has — his father played at a high level. But I want him to be the best he can be.”

Khalid and Ishmael never discussed any sort of outside pressure Ishmael may have felt growing up. What Khalid’s focus remained on, was whether or not Ishmael enjoyed playing the game and that alone. Khalid knew if Ishmael didn’t enjoy basketball he not only wouldn’t play well, but he wouldn’t improve, either. And Khalid doesn’t believe he ever saw the pressure get to Ishmael, in part because of the role models in Ishmael’s life and family support at Ishmael’s disposal.

Ken Novak Jr., Ishmael’s coach at Hopkins, felt the same way.

While Novak understands there may have been some “subtle pressure,” he always thought neither Khalid nor Ishmael treated Khalid’s legacy as that big of a deal. Novak thought Ishmael’s family handled everything well, although it may not have always been an easy thing to do.

“As much as a young kid can be self-actualized he did a good a job,” said Novak, who thinks Ishmael could make a good coach. “And I think, again, I think their family did a great job with it. I mean, they just, they acknowledged the success and how he did but they didn’t exalt it.”

How Ishmael handled pressure from opposing teams on the court impressed Novak, too. Whenever Novak saw pressure accelerate some players’ actions into a panic it appeared as if Ishmael would calm down.

“I knew he’d do well in college just because he does make such good decisions, and there’s some kids — I’ve had really good players that don’t necessarily become great college players,” Novak said. “But he’s one that, he doesn’t have the big ego. He’s looking to generally win games.”

Khalid thought Ishmael’s ability to perform in crucial moments during games and confidence to take the deciding shot showed Ishmael had a Division I future, too. It built on the talent Khalid thought was evident early on in Ishmael’s high school career.

And once Ishmael arrived at Ball State, he grew close to another player whose father had a storied basketball legacy in Josh Thompson. Thompson, now a redshirt senior guard at BSU, is the son of Chandler Thompson, who played basketball for the Cardinals as well and was a member of the program’s 1990 Sweet 16 team.

Ishmael and Thompson, who referred to Ishmael as “like my little brother,” both know people often talk about how good their dads were. Thompson said he and Ishmael will even be hanging out with friends, sees things pop up on Twitter about them and laugh. But Thompson also said he’s never felt the need to have to council Ishmael on how to handle the growing spotlight.

Ishmael’s well-known, calm demeanor also impresses Thompson.

“I feel like he’s been doing a good job already,” Thompson said. “I feel like he always probably had, not a big spotlight, but he always had people around him, eyes looking at him. So, I feel like I didn’t really need to help him on that.”

Whitford, who hasn’t talked much over the years with Ishmael about what Ishamael’s dad achieved in basketball, believes it says a lot about Ishmael that Ishmael has handled it all so well.

Whitford believes Ishmael, like everyone else, has to carve his own path. And Whitford sees Ishmael doing that, in school and in basketball.

“Ever since I’ve known him, he’s been that guy,” Whitford said. “He’s a very good person. He’s a caring person. He cares about — he has a life outside of basketball. He’s somebody that will have — he’s a well-rounded person. Ish is someone you can have a great conversation with about, you know, political issues, about social issues, about things he cares about.”

There are still things Whitford and Khalid see as possible areas of improvement for Ishmael’s game on the court.

Whitford said they’re working on Ishmael’s ability to defend and wants to see continued growth in all other aspects of his game as well. Khalid sees Ishmael as capable of being even more aggressive offensively and that as Ishmael becomes better at breaking down defenders and getting to the basket everyone will see Ishmael’s game go to the next level.

Ishmael understands he’s still learning. He also understands the position he’s in and knows his teammates are confident in him.

“This is my year, I’m confident, I’m in the best shape of my life,” Ishmael said. “My game is at a whole different level right now and I just feel like on a night-in, night-out basis I can show that and I think that’s going to be big for us.”

Jarron Coleman, in shape and thriving, has earned his starting spot with Ball State basketball Jordan Guskey, The Star Press, Dec. 13, 2020

MUNCIE, Ind. — Redshirting his first year at Ball State never robbed Jarron Coleman of any of his confidence, but that didn’t mean watching his teammates play was any easier.

Every time the Cardinals trailed an opponent was tough for him. Not only was his team losing. It was losing, he thought he could help and because he was redshirting he couldn’t. And from November through January and into March, he had to walk away from 17 different matchups that ended in losses for Ball State that he couldn’t step onto the court during and change.

The 2019-20 Cardinals (5-4) have experienced their own set of problems this season and Coleman hasn’t been perfect throughout all the minutes he’s played. But he is playing. The 6-5, 205-pound, redshirt freshman guard out of Indianapolis is contributing. And Saturday, in Ball State’s crushing victory against IUPUI, he dropped a career-high 20 points in his third start as he solidified his place as Whitford’s starting point guard.

“What you saw against IUPUI we’ve seen in moments in practice,” Whitford said. “He’s had days in practice where he’s been great and then I would have said it hasn’t quite translated as much. There have been practices where up to the game he would look great and then he’d come in the game and he was looking very average. And it was surprising, right? I joked with him one day, I said, ‘When are we going to see on game day what we see every day in practice?’ He laughed and said, ‘I’m waiting for it, too.’ That was the Jarron that we’d seen quite a bit in practice.”

Coleman had come into the 2018-19 season in nowhere near the physical shape he needed to be, himself estimating he was at 16 percent body fat and coach James Whitford wondering Wednesday if it may have been even higher. It wasn’t that Whitford didn’t think Coleman could play, it was that Whitford saw a long road ahead for Coleman to get his body right and didn’t see a clear end to that journey. Coleman also knew, with the players ahead of him, he may not receive much playing time.

So, he redshirted and went to work. And not only did he more than halve the percent body fat estimations he and Whitford had for him ahead of the start of last season — Coleman saying he’s at seven now — but Coleman has earned himself a place in Ball State’s starting five.

The IUPUI game was just one game. Whitford knows there’s no guarantee each successive contest will play out as that one did. Coleman did make the coaches look good, though. “What I’ve always said with Jarron is to me Jarron is a very talented player, and the emphasis I would have really had with him when he got here is learning how to work at the college level, learning how to work like a high-level Division I athlete,” Whitford said. “He’s really moved the needle.”

Coleman is averaging 6.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game with a 21.1 minute per game average through his nine appearances. He’s done the majority of his scoring inside the arc and at the free-throw line, although he is shooting 35 percent on 3s and hit 3-of-4 against the Jaguars.

Whitford recruited Coleman to be a playmaker for the Cardinals. He saw a prospect out of Cathedral High School who played for both the junior and senior Indiana All-Stars who could create opportunities for himself and for his teammates. A terrific passer, who has the ability to make great passes but also makes a lot of simple ones.

Coleman said he began to come to terms with the fact he was redshirting in late November 2018 after the team returned from its time in South Carolina in the Charleston Classic. And while at first he didn’t want to redshirt, he realized over time how beneficial it would be for him and that it was an investment in his future.

The points he put up against IUPUI and starting role he has now aren’t as important to him as playing meaningful minutes and helping Ball State win.

“I’d seen I could start but I was really just, whatever role I had I was ready to accept it and just be the best at that role,” Coleman said. “Starting just came with it.”

Redshirt freshman guard Kani Acree, who was Coleman’s roommate last year, said Coleman playing as well as he did against IUPUI and Acree himself scoring a carer-high 11 points fulfilled what they had dreamed of doing while they sat out last season. Acree sees them both as so much more prepared for this season because they redshirted, and he isn’t surprised Coleman’s earned the role he has.

Coleman’s ability to read a defense, especially off a pick and roll, impresses Acree.

“Jarron knows the game very well,” Acree said. “His IQ is A1. I could tell he’s learned a lot from the redshirt year through to now and the game is slowing down a lot for him.”

Coleman said he was anxious before the team’s trip to Costa Rica this summer because he had only been playing against his teammates for so long. That anxiety dissipated soon after the excursion, and the last couple games he’s felt more comfortable on the court.

There may still be things he needs to improve on, whether that’s his shooting or off-the-ball defense, but he’s getting closer and closer to realizing his potential.

“He’s kind of waited his time now and he’s got that hunger in him and he’s getting better game- by-game,” said Jason Delaney, Coleman’s coach at Cathedral. “Texted him after the (IUPUI) game that I was proud of him and the response back from him was, ‘Just got to keep working.’ I thought that’s a great mindset for him that he’s not satisfied.”

‘Whatever happens, happens’: BSU basketball’s Tahjai Teague could become MAC Player of the Year Jordan GuskeyUpdated 8:25 p.m. ET Jan. 20, 2020

MUNCIE, Ind. — James Whitford is quick to make his point.

Ball State basketball’s head coach is standing on the court inside Worthen Arena. It’s the Thursday afternoon prior to the Cardinals’ matchup this past Saturday against Miami (Ohio). Practice is about to begin. And when asked if BSU redshirt senior forward Tahjai Teague has asserted himself as a contender for the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year award, in addition to a possible spot as a first-team, all-conference player, Whitford is soon discussing Ball State’s win against Toledo.

Whitford starts by cautioning that, as of Thursday, the Cardinals had played just four games of their conference slate. Who makes the MAC’s all-conference teams and earns the MAC’s top honor won’t be decided for some time. But how Teague is living up to Whitford’s preseason challenge of being a first-team, all-conference athlete and also playing at a level at which he could be named the MAC’s best, to Whitford, is no better illustrated than by what Teague accomplished against the Rockets.

Teague did not score 25 points as he would days later against Buffalo, only managing five. He did not grab 17 rebounds as he did last Tuesday against Eastern Michigan, only tallying six. Teague led Ball State to a win with his defensive effort on Toledo star Luke Knapke, showcasing how he could affect an outcome regardless of what the stat sheet might say.

“Real good players impact the game and it doesn’t matter how it happens,” Whitford said. “They just are impactful.”

Eighteen games into the season, Teague is leading Ball State (11-7, 4-1 in MAC) in points per game with 14.7, rebounds per game with 8.4 and blocks per game with 1.4. He is 12th in the MAC in scoring per game, fifth in rebounding per game, fifth in field-goal percentage and third in blocks per game. He is as highly ranked or better in those categories among MAC players when only conference games are considered.

Northern Illinois' Eugene German and Akron's Loren Cristian Jackson are among other conference stars to watch.

Teague, though, named the MAC’s West Division Player of the Week on Monday for the fourth time this season, said Thursday he isn’t focused on the possible accolades. He knows he’s played well, especially through the start of conference play, but he doesn’t want to put any unneeded pressure on himself. He likened the speculation to that of whether or not he would become an Indiana All-Star in high school a year after earning a spot as an Indiana Junior All-Star. People would tell Teague, who would be named an Indiana All-Star, that it was a possibility. He didn’t pay it much attention, not worrying then as he isn’t now about how someone also in the running for an award is doing compared to him.

“I just play,” Teague said. “Whatever happens, happens.”

BSU redshirt junior forward Brachen Hazen described Teague on Thursday as someone who’s not going to be outspoken about his own talent. Hazen sees Teague as the Cardinals’ best player, but would never expect Teague to voice a desire to have a 20-point, 10-rebound night if that’s what was on Teague’s mind.

Of course, that doesn’t mean Hazen hasn’t noticed a change in Teague this season, a season that represents Teague’s last shot at being the MAC Player of the Year and first-team, all-conference.

“He’s way more aggressive,” Hazen said. “He’s way more determined to prove that he should be in both of those categories, for sure, and he’s done it.”

Teague said he’s always been able to separate outside expectations from how he approaches the game because, in the past, he hasn’t felt like someone who’s often been the subject of these conversations. So, while he’s hearing more talk now, he blocks it out just as he used to and concerns himself only with getting better.

Whitford has seen Teague improve. He’s seen Teague become a better shooter along the perimeter and use that to open up more drives.

But for Whitford, there’s still been no sign of Teague’s maturation as a player more significant than the Toledo game. In fact, if Teague doesn’t defend that well, Whitford thinks Ball State would have lost and “it’s not even close.”

“I always say, it’s only people inside the arena that can relate to the pressure you feel when you’re not playing well,” Whitford said. “For him to overcome that and will us to a victory in so many other ways, be a great teammate as he was doing it, that to me is his biggest sign of growth.”

Hazen would add: “That’s something that makes him stand out and makes him a contender for the first team and player of the year in this conference because he’s a do-both player. He does it on the offensive end. He also does it on the defensive end.”

Teague also named the Toledo game his most impressive so far this season, and for many of the same reasons.

If it’s the spark toward earning conference accolades, though, Hazen doesn’t expect much of a reaction from Teague outside of possibly an Instagram post or tweet acknowledging it. Teague is focused on the team, winning and improving to the point where the Cardinals are playing as together as they did during a near-comeback in the second half against Evansville.

“If we play defense like that and we’re scoring and shooting the ball how we did against them,” Teague said, “I feel like this team can win it all.”

‘I will be ready:’ El-Amin has become the catalyst in Ball State's road to success by Ian Hansen, Ball State Daily News / 11:31 a.m. Jan. 22, 2020

211 to 212. As water heats up inside a singeing metal pot, the slight jump in temperature means more than a single degree.

212 degrees Fahrenheit boils water. It creates steam. It powers the engine. The analogy means doing the small things and taking the extra step can lead to bigger accomplishments. This is what head coach James Whitford has preached to his team all season.

The 1-degree difference has left a long-lasting impact on junior guard Ishmael El- Amin. This time last season, he was watching his team play from the bench with a wrist injury, and he knew he had to improve his body.

“I wanted to get stronger. I was in the weight room a lot over the summer,” El- Amin said. “On the court, I knew this team was losing scorers after last year, so I knew this team was going to need a scorer on the offensive end. I got in the gym, got some shots up, worked on my ball handling and as the season went on, the team needed me to be a defender.”

Ball State lost its leading scorer last season in Tayler Persons along with another prominent player in Trey Moses. El-Amin said he knew his role was going to increase, and he was ready to take that next step.

“Since the first day I came here as a freshman, I told coach Whitford, ‘I will be ready for any role that you give me, and I will embrace it and give you 100 percent and give you my all,’” El-Amin said. “Whether that is starting or coming off of the bench, I was going to do whatever I needed to help the team get a win.”

His hard work and positive attitude have paid off, as El-Amin sits seventh in the entire country in 3-point efficiency at 46 percent. He is the team’s second-leading scorer at 14.6 points per game after averaging just 6.9 last season and is currently looking to solidify a spot on the All-Mid-American Conference First Team.

However, El-Amin said it isn’t about the numbers. It’s about his team and adjusting his game by whatever means necessary to win. This even means weathering the storm of an ankle injury early in the season on redshirt senior guard K.J. Walton, who is considered the team’s “defensive stopper.”

“With K.J. going down, we lost our stopper,” Whitford said. “Ish came to me and said, ‘Hey coach, I’d like to do that role.’ Those are the types of things that make a catalyst for a team. You see younger guys watching someone like Ish and how valuable he is for us, and they want to take the mantle on as our defensive stopper.”

While El-Amin has the offensive numbers, it is the defensive side of the ball he is most proud of.

“I take the most pride in my defense,” El-Amin said. “I wasn’t really looked at as a defender, but I feel like I have shown in a quiet way at the end of non-conference and the start of conference play, and I feel like I have answered the bell for my coaches with who I need to guard. I am excited to be able to show them that I can be a defender and still be there offensively.”

Whitford praised El-Amin’s ability to be a great teammate and a responsible role model for the younger players in the locker room by taking what the game gives him and running with it.

“He continues to be a great person, and he continues to be incredibly responsible,” Whitford said. “He has always been those things, but he has amped it up a little bit more, and the game has slowed down for him.”

The Cardinals currently sit at 11-7 and are 4-1 in the MAC in large part because of El-Amin’s selflessness. He was given his moment to shine, and he is remaining humble about it.

“It took me a little longer to be able to get out here and let the fans and my teammates know that I have been capable for a while,” El-Amin said. “It just feels great to see the success. I don’t shy away from any moment, but I am also not tooting my own horn. I stay confident but remain humble and continue to feel blessed about the opportunities given.”

He was given the formula, and he made steam with it. Now, the train is rolling, and El-Amin is having the best season of his collegiate career.

Luke Bumbalough has struggled at times with Ball State basketball, but he has not let those issues derail his freshman year Jordan Guskey, The Star Press, Feb. 14, 2020

MUNCIE, Ind. — Luke Bumbalough knew before his senior year of high school at New Castle that final year with the Trojans would be nothing like his freshman season in college at Ball State.

He didn’t need anything to happen during preseason workouts with the Cardinals to prove that. He didn’t need to score zero points against Northern Kentucky, 18 against Howard and then none again against Western Illinois, in a three-game stretch this past November, to learn he wasn’t going to average more than 30 points per game.

Bumbalough understood he’d have to drop his ego well before he became a freshman guard for BSU coach James Whitford, just as Bumbalough feels his teammates have.

It’s a mentality that’s benefited the former Indiana Mr. Basketball finalist who played for the junior and senior Indiana All-Stars. It’s allowed New Castle’s second-leading scorer in school history, behind only 1983 Indiana Mr. Basketball Steve Alford, to flourish and develop despite bouts of inconsistency that may have derailed him otherwise. It’s helped earn Bumbalough a starting role in which he’s depended on for much more than just the ability to knock down 3s.

“I’m just worried about getting the W,” said Bumbalough, then alluding to his senior year at New Castle. “Down at New Castle, you know, like, you get individual stats but you didn’t win a sectional championship and that hurts a lot more. I would have way rather averaged, you know, 20 a game and win a sectional championship.”

Bumbalough has played in all 24 of Ball State’s games and started each of the last 17, including BSU’s 11 in Mid-American Conference play. He is averaging 7.3 points, 1.5 assists and 1.1 rebounds per game. But to Whitford what’s more emblematic of Bumbalough’s worth to the Cardinals is the 26.2 minutes per game Bumbalough’s logging. Only junior guard Ishmael El-Amin, redshirt senior forward Tahjai Teague and senior forward Kyle Mallers are averaging more minutes per game for Ball State (14-10, 7-4 in MAC). Nine times Bumbalough has played at least 30 minutes. And while Bumbalough is known for his 3-point shooting given he’s attempted the most 3s of any Cardinals player, made the third most and owns the fourth-best shooting percentage from behind the arc, five of those nine times he’s recorded at least 30 minutes of game action he’s gone a combined 3-for-27.

If Bumbalough hadn’t developed as a defender in the way he has and ensured that that defensive ability doesn’t take a hit if the shots weren’t falling on offense, Whitford said Bumbalough likely wouldn’t be playing as much or starting. Whitford is quick to praise Bumbalough, whose role increased due to redshirt senior guard K.J. Walton’s ankle injury, for that.

“The guys at New Castle will tell you that comes as a long, big jump from where (Bumbalough) was as a senior in high school,” said Whitford, who in regards to Walton would say Walton still may or may not return this season. “Give (Bumbalough) great credit, man. He’s like a lot of freshmen that are trying to earn a big role. He’s had to find ways to survive and one of the great assets he brings is he’s become a great defender.”

There have been times when the struggles weighed on Bumbalough. A recent three-game stretch in which Ball State lost against Bowling Green and then beat Ohio and Kent State, when Bumbalough went a combined 1-for-15 on 3s, was particularly tough for him.

But after each game Bumbalough will take a look at the outcome of the game, too. He’ll be honest with himself about his energy level and effort on defense. He’ll push through as he did the next game against Western Michigan when he hit five of his eight 3s and scored 15 points.

And whether it’s Teague telling Bumbalough not to pass up open shots on the floor any time it happens, BSU assistant coach Ben Botts watching film with Bumbalough after games or Mallers and redshirt senior guard Josh Thompson talking Bumbalough through shooting slumps, the team is always quick to show Bumbalough it believes in him.

Because Bumbalough is a freshman regardless of the instances of success or lack thereof on the floor, and Whitford knows while a made shot can instill confidence a few missed can make that confidence fade away. “We just tell him to keep shooting,” El-Amin said. “He’s a phenomenal shooter. He’s a guy who can open up games and change games like he did in the Miami game. And so, just staying on him just to, you know, stay confident and not worry about makes and misses and percentages and stuff like that and just, you know, just play the game like he knows how to play. We have 100 percent, 110 percent, trust in him.”

As Ball State attempts to continue its run toward MAC West Division, MAC regular season and MAC tournament titles, Bumbalough, El-Amin and Whitford all know how critical it’ll be for Bumbalough to maintain the mindset he has.

Bumbalough’s role necessitates it.

“We’re going to need him to be there for us as well down the stretch,” El-Amin said, “and I know that he will be and that the moment for him is coming.”

Leading through example: Brachen Hazen is the spirit every team needs by Ian Hansen, Ball State Daily News / 10:00 a.m. Feb. 21, 2020

“Individual commitment to a group effort — that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”

The quote from former NFL coach Vince Lombardi fits perfectly for redshirt junior forward Brachen Hazen and Ball State Men’s Basketball. Earlier in the season on the team bus, Hazen made a sacrifice beyond his own personal goals and aspirations for the betterment of the team.

“We were on our way to UIC, and I was talking to [Hazen] on the bus,” head coach James Whitford said. “He told me, ‘I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what this team needs from me, and that is to be a great leader, rebounder and do all of the hustle stuff.’”

Whitford said he was pleased to have a guy like Hazen on the team and believes he is a role model of what he wants in not just a player, but a person.

“He is a model, a great teammate and great person,” Whitford said. “He is both a leader by example and vocally. For him under his own volition to be thinking outside of himself speaks volumes of who he is and how he thinks.”

When Hazen was asked how he views himself as a role model, he paused, looked up and gave credit to somebody who has contributed to Ball State outside of putting the ball through the net.

“I’d say Trey Moses is that guy,” Hazen said. “He was here four years and created a legacy on and off of the court. He is so good to the community, and I don’t think I am to that point yet, but that is for sure something I strive for. Having a guy like Trey to look up to and have that standard is something I want to do.”

Moses, who now plays professionally overseas in Bulgaria, left a trail of inspiration for players like Hazen when it comes to positivity and bringing a team closer together. Actions speaking louder than words is something Moses praised Hazen for in their time together. Moses said he is fond of Hazen as a person and a friend.

“Guys can say whatever they want, but it is really about actions,” Moses said. “A lot of people will say they want something and say they want to be a certain way but act [differently]. I always tried to be a vocal leader, but I tried to lead with action as well, and so does he.”

Last season, there was a moment that stood out to Hazen after missing 15 games due to injury. It was a game the team lost but served as a miniature victory in a lot of ways. The reason was because of Hazen’s positivity and actions to help the team mentally.

“Last year when we were playing in Miami, they went on a run, and it was one of my first games back from injury, so I made it a point to be in constant communication,” Hazen said. “I wanted to make sure I was speaking, encouraging the guys that basketball is a game of runs and that we are a talented team and can fight back. We ended up losing, but it was one of those games where everyone was connected.”

So, what happens when the guy who is motivating everyone else gets down? The answer lies in redshirt sophomore center Blake Huggins.

“[Huggins] hasn’t seen a lot of action this year, but he is someone who always challenges me,” Hazen said. “He knows me pretty well enough to know when my attitude is shifting toward the negative side. He definitely talks to me and gives me words of encouragement.”

Huggins is somebody who looks up to Hazen based on his attitude toward life and the team. He said he tries to emulate that attitude when he needs it most, and he takes inspiration from the constant communication and positivity.

“He is the liveliest person we have on the team,” Huggins said. “He is always talking, and he is always energetic. I always laugh at everything he says, and he always brings positive energy to me, so whenever I notice he is off, it is easy for me to get the energy back out from him.”

Hazen doesn’t have the statistics or flashy plays to jump out to someone casually watching a basketball game. For him, it’s not about the numbers. Rather, it’s about keeping the glue intact and doing the little things. “Brachen is one of the best people I have been around,” Moses said. “He is so genuine and honestly one of the funniest guys I have ever met as well. He has a great personality, and I don’t think there is anybody in the country that would not want to be Brachen Hazen’s teammate.”

Being the comedic relief for the team and a guy people can go to during the grind and hardships of a basketball season may seem so insignificant to winning games. For the Cardinals, it goes a long way in keeping the team engaged.

Hazen loves to joke. He even loves to make fun of his teammates, but he also knows when to cut it out and pick up a player if they make a mistake and help them move on to the next play. In the end, he said the whole point is to have fun.

“I also want us to have fun because if you aren’t having fun, you won’t play to the best of your ability,” Hazen said. “Whether it is joking around, making fun of somebody when they mess up, but making sure during games people aren’t taking a turnover too seriously, and when they mess up, they can turn it around and stay positive.”

Jarron Coleman, Luke Bumbalough show against EMU how bright Ball State’s future could be Jordan Guskey, The Star Press, Feb. 22, 2020

MUNCIE, Ind. — The future of Ball State’s backcourt looked as bright as it has all season in the second half against Eastern Michigan.

It’s redshirt freshman guard Jarron Coleman hitting a step-back 3 in the corner to cut a 10-point lead for the Eagles to seven with 16:35 left in the game. It’s freshman guard Luke Bumbalough hitting a 3 in transition to bring the Cardinals back within single digits with 14:36 left after the Eagles went on a 4-0 run.

It’s Coleman having the wherewithal to pass up an open jumper inside the arc to dish the ball outside to Bumbalough, for a 3 with 7:03 left, to make it a one-possession game for the first time since 5:23 remained in the first half. It’s Bumbalough connecting from 3 again 34 seconds later to tie the score 49-49 off another assist from Coleman.

It’s the Cardinals roaring to a 64-55 victory off a 26-6 run behind the play of Coleman and Bumbalough, as well as redshirt senior forward Tahjai Teague, junior guard Ishmael El-Amin and more, that began after the Eagles took a 49-38 lead with 9:58 left.

Ball State had lost three of its last four in Mid-American Conference play before this game. Coach James Whitford would admit postgame the Cardinals, while they’ve remain focused in controlling their process, needed a win like this to both help manage the importance this portion of the season represents and build confidence moving forward. And with the plays they made together and those they created for their teammates, Coleman and Bumbalough showed not only what could happen this season for BSU but in those to come.

“It’s fun knowing you’ve got three more years to play,” said Coleman, who helped BSU to a regular season sweep of EMU. “But we’re not really thinking of that right now. Just focused on this season.”

Whitford, who thought his team played with the defensive intensity it’d been lacking recently, didn’t plan on relying as much on his freshmen and redshirt freshmen as he has this season. Redshirt senior guard K.J. Walton, who’s missed all but 10 games this year and each since the Jan. 7 matchup with Buffalo due to an ankle injury, was supposed to play a bigger role. But with the progression of a season comes adjustments.

Now Coleman and Bumbalough have started all 14 conference games for the Cardinals and averaged 27.8 and 30.2 minutes per game across those appearances, respectively. Ball State (15- 12, 8-6 in MAC) is leading the MAC in the average for minutes played per game by rookies. And after a game against EMU during which Coleman and Bumbalough may have played their best yet this season on the same day, Whitford’s excitement for what’s to come from the duo and their fellow rookies is clear.

Because Whitford is confident in the trajectory of the careers of redshirt freshman guard/forward Kani Acree, freshman guard Lucas Kroft and freshman center Ben Hendriks, too.

“I look at the whole class as being a really good one and one with a really bright future,” Whitford said. “(Coleman and Bumbalough) are getting a lot of the minutes and a lot of the press, and they’re good players, but the whole class is good. It’s really good top to bottom.”

Coleman and Bumbalough, though, were the stars of the Cardinals’ win against the Eagles (15- 12, 5-9).

Coleman led Ball State in scoring with 19 points, adding seven rebounds and three assists, too, as he did well to disrupt Eastern Michigan’s zone and provide opportunities for himself and others to score. Bumbalough added 17 points as his teammates helped get him open looks from 3, where he went 5-for-8.

They scored 24 of the Cardinals’ 42 points in the second half, themselves out-pacing the Eagles’ 22 points in the final 20 minutes during the comeback.

“We knew we’d be challenged,” said Whitford, alluding to EMU, which led by 11 at halftime, winning five of its last six prior to this game. “Thought our guys showed great composure.”

El-Amin wound up with nine points after hitting a trio of 3s in the second half as Teague, who led Ball State with eight rebounds, six assists and three steals, added eight points and senior forward Kyle Mallers six points. Their play in the second half helped Ball State finish with a 51.1 percent to 47.1 percent advantage in shooting from the field, 50 percent to 21.4 percent advantage shooting on 3s and 31-21 advantage in rebounding.

Next up for BSU is Western Michigan (11-16, 4-10) on Tuesday at Worthen Arena. Whether or not the Cardinals will continue to factor into the conversation for a bye in the conference tournament, according to Bumbalough, will be determined by their ability to keep taking the season one game at a time and be ready for practice each day.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Whitford wanted his team playing in front of a home crowd like the one that watched Ball State beat Eastern Michigan, too.

“It’s fun for our team,” Whitford said. “It’s fun for our players. It’s great for the community.”

Whitford would add: “This is Muncie’s team. It’s not just Ball State’s team. We’re Muncie’s team.”

‘A warrior’: Kyle Mallers’ legacy with Ball State basketball is clear Jordan Guskey, The Star Press, March 4, 2020

MUNCIE, Ind. — James Whitford is thinking back to the practices that followed Ball State’s December trip to Hawaii.

One of the coach’s veterans, senior forward Kyle Mallers, had suffered a sprained ankle during the team’s loss against UTEP in the second of three games BSU played there. Mallers had still played in the final game against Portland, although Whitford guesses that was only due to assistant athletic trainer Troy Hershman not being able to persuade Mallers to do otherwise. A decision had been made after the win against Portland to hold Mallers out of a few practices, Whitford explaining how the injured ankle Mallers played through looked like a “bowling ball.”

And as Whitford reflected on it all, as he discussed it postgame Tuesday after Ball State’s senior night victory against Central Michigan, he laughed as he did then about how Mallers looked not participating in those practices.

Because Whitford couldn’t remember any other time Mallers had ever missed a practice. Because Whitford knows if he had asked Mallers to practice Mallers would have.

Mallers, according to Whitford, is "a warrior" who kept playing in games despite experiencing a level of pain Whitford doesn’t think anyone else with BSU, and few in , would have attempted to endure. Mallers’ start Tuesday against the Chippewas gave him 129-straight appearances, dating back to his freshman year, out of 129 possible games. And for Mallers, continuing to play was all about wanting to be there for the team he's devoted so much of his life to in recent years.

It's a level of devotion that did not go unnoticed by that team or its fans, who all showcased their appreciation for what Mallers has meant to the program before, during and after BSU's 85-68 win against CMU.

“Kyle is an unbelievable leader by example in everything he does, and he’s one of those guys that he doesn’t say a lot, but … when he talks everybody listens, in the sense of he just has great respect,” said Whitford, who highlighted the careers of redshirt senior forward Tahjai Teague and redshirt senior guard Josh Thompson postgame as well. “And (Mallers) does it because he is literally an everyday guy. I mean, every day he’s punching the clock and working his tail off. So, he’s deeply respected and his leadership really comes in that form a lot.

Mallers came to Ball State from Carroll High School in Fort Wayne and averaged 11.2 minutes per game as he played in all 34 contests as a freshman. The former junior and senior participant with the Indiana All-Stars then played in all 32 games as a sophomore and all 33 as a junior, averaging 27.6 and 29.6 minutes per game, respectively. He’s played in all 30 so far in his senior season with an average of 28 minutes per contest. Ask Mallers, though, and there’s no surprising revelation when it comes to how he’s been able to be available every day and night the Cardinals have played. He credits it to his go-to strategy of staying ready for practices and games and never suffering an injury so serious he’d be forced to miss time.

“I would take him over and over, again and again,” said Marty Beasley, Mallers’ high school coach at Carroll, on Sunday. “I mean, give me five Kyle Mallers, we’re going to be really, really good.”

Beasley said he isn’t surprised at all Mallers has played in every game possible with Ball State. Beasley saw the work ethic Mallers exhibited in high school and Mallers’ everyday mentality that Whitford applauded. Beasley saw how Mallers took care of his body.

It’s why Mallers, who's started 95 games at BSU, was and still is “Mr. Consistency” in Beasley’s eyes. It’s part of why Mallers was so beloved by his teammates. He possessed an ability at Carroll to uplift everyone and motivate them in a constructive way.

“Kyle is a guy that, even after he left, two to three years later kids on our team still thought he was the best teammate they ever played with,” Beasley said.

Thompson described something similar at Ball State.

“Even if his shot’s not falling, he may look down from time to time but he’s always going to bring it, he’s going to talk and he’s one of the best leaders I’ve ever been around,” Thompson said. “He’s always positive, never going to see him negative. It’s fun to be around him.”

Mallers is known as a 3-point threat for the Cardinals. He’s a career 33.8-percent shooter from behind the arc who currently is tied for the 12th-best mark in the Mid-American Conference on 3s this season at 37.4 percent. But much like Teague doesn’t need to score to affect a game and Thompson is seen as a leader by Whitford no matter what a stat sheet may show, Mallers isn’t only a shooter for Ball State.

Teague praised Mallers’ ability as a defender, and Whitford pointed to what Mallers did in the first half Tuesday against Central Michigan to exemplify that.

“He made some shots today, but I thought his transition defense tonight was exceptional,” said Whitford, who'd see Mallers finish with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists and three blocks. “This was a game where transition defense against (CMU) is everything and we did an unbelievable job in transition.”

Mallers’ focus, as well as that of Thompson’s, Teague’s and Whitford’s, now shifts toward the next step in Ball State’s move toward attempting to win the MAC tournament. Neither Mallers, Teague or Thompson are thinking about their legacies as much as they say they are about making a run. “I think we’re focused on the next game, trying to get a win at Northern (Illinois),” Mallers said. “Would be huge for us, getting that bye. We’re all focused on that.”
