Despite skid, Whitford likes where Ball State basketball is heading into MAC Tournament

Ryan O'GaraUpdated 5:51 p.m. ET March 3, 2018

MUNCIE, Ind. — James Whitford’s singular focus all season has been getting Ball State to play its best basketball going into March. Because that’s what the good teams do.

And on the surface, it sure doesn’t seem like the Cardinals are at that point with three straight losses. But the Ball State head coach still likes where the Cardinals are at heading into the Mid- American Conference Tournament, even after the loss Friday night at Northern Illinois.

"I don’t feel like we’re falling off. I feel like in pretty good position," Whitford said Saturday. "Id’ be surprised if we don’t play well in Cleveland."

Whitford was obviously glad that Ball State received a bye – even after three straight blown chances to secure one – when Central Michigan beat Western Michigan on Saturday afternoon. Ball State (19-12, 10-8 MAC) will play either No. 12 Northern Illinois (13-18, 6-12) or No. 5 Kent State (15-16, 9-9) on Thursday in the quarterfinals in Cleveland.

Ball State has certainly had the flare for the dramatic this season and on Friday night, it got a taste of its own medicine when Eugene German hit the game-winning shot and Tayler Persons’ last-second attempt was short. So while Ball State felt great after the last-second wins over Notre Dame, Valparaiso and Bowling Green, it had the opposite feeling Friday night and in the season opener at Dayton.

"If you win by one, everything is great. If you lose by one, everything is terrible," Whitford said. "The reality is always somewhere in the middle."

The reason for Whitford’s optimism is that Ball State held late leads in two of those three games and had it closed them out, Ball State would be going into the conference tournament having won 9 of 11 games. Instead, Ball State has won 7 of 11.

It’s not ideal but Ball State is still in good position to make a run. Having to win three games instead of four makes a difference. "I think you have to look at it as a whole. It’s not all great or all terrible," Whitford said. "But generally speaking, I feel like we’re in pretty good speaking that we’re fortunate to get a bye considering we didn’t win any of our last three games.

"I like our draw. I’d love to play Northern again. I think Kent is a good matchup and now it’s a three-game season."

The Star Press, 2/25/18 Ball State men's basketball finishes with largest season attendance since 2006-07

Ryan O'GaraUpdated 5:18 p.m. ET Feb. 25, 2018

Fans pack Worthen Arena for BSU's #Muncieout game

MUNCIE, Ind. — The Ball State men’s basketball game Friday against Western Michigan was one of the top crowds at Worthen Arena in the last decade, and it helped push Ball State to its largest season attendance in 11 years.

The 5,924 fans was the fifth-most Ball State has had in the last 10 years, falling just short of being Ball State’s biggest crowd since 2011. The 2013 matchup against Butler had 6,015 fans. Friday’s crowd was the largest crowd for a Mid-American Conference game in the last 10 years, though.

The #MuncieOut crowd gave Ball State a season total of 59,534 fans in 16 games, which is the largest total since the 2006-07 season. The 3,720-average attendance is the largest since the 2011-12 season.

For reference, last year Ball State drew 49,943 in 16 games for an average of 3,121, so this year was a 19- percent increase. Ball State’s biggest total and average both came in the 1991-92 season: 131,475 for an average of 7,734.

In addition, three of Ball State’s games this year were part of the top 10 crowds of the past 10 years: Dec. 9 against Valparaiso (5,009 fans), Feb. 17 against Toledo (4,824) and Friday against Western Michigan. The Feb. 9 game against Kent State (4,105) was the 12th biggest of the last 10 years. Here is the complete list:

1. 8,412 (Dec. 10, 2011 vs. Butler) 2. 8,381 (Dec. 9, 2008 vs. Purdue) 3. 6,996 (Dec. 2, 2009 vs. Butler) 4. 6,015 (Nov. 23, 2013 vs. Butler) 5. 5,924 (Feb. 23, 2018 vs. Western Michigan) 6. 5,160 (Feb. 19, 2016 vs. Northern Illinois) 7. 5,009 (Dec. 9, 2017 vs. Valparaiso) 8. 4,824 (Feb. 17, 2018 vs. Toledo) 9. 4,457 (March 3 vs. Northern Illinois) 10. 4,298 (Jan. 28, 2017 vs. Western Michigan) The Star Press, 2/22/18 Ball State’s Sean Sellers has worked through the hard times (including a near transfer) for this 3-point record

Ryan O'GaraUpdated 4:52 p.m. ET Feb. 22, 2018 The Ball State senior is likely to set the record Friday against Western Michigan.

MUNCIE, Ind. — Sean Sellers can laugh now back at his first basketball memory. He was but a few years old and his dad was coaching JV girls basketball at Greensburg High School.

The sweet-shooting Ball State senior had the same problem as nearly every young hooper: He couldn’t dribble with his left hand.

"So my dad made me put on one of those visors where I couldn’t look down at the basketball," Sellers recalled. "I got mad at him and was crying."

There have certainly been more ups than downs for Sellers, who will likely become Ball State’s all-time leader in 3-pointers on Friday night when Ball State welcomes Western Michigan for Senior Night. Those ups are well-documented, with two state championships in high school at Greensburg and a whole lot of 3-pointers at Ball State.

But…

"What I know (about Sellers) is the human side," Ball State coach James Whitford said. "I’ve watched him be hurt, I’ve watched him be happy. I’ve seen the ebbs and flows of the pressure of playing college basketball and trying to achieve your dreams. The bad games."

Whitford lured Sellers to Muncie as Ball State was coming off a 5-25 season, his first as head coach. Sellers had ample opportunity that first year, averaging 12 points per game and earning MAC Freshman of the Year. But Ball State went 7-23.

A much stronger team in 2015-16 meant less opportunity, especially when transfer Ryan Weber beat him out on the wing. And all of a sudden, the leading scorer of the 2014-15 team was buried on the bench. He lost his starting spot after two games and went through a 14-game stretch where he went scoreless six times. "It was hard," Sellers said. "I definitely had several conversations about whether I should stay or leave. But being away from my family was a big factor. When I committed here, I told them I wanted a place I felt like I could be for four years. Whether basketball was going well for me or not, I still enjoy school here."

And he figured out the basketball part, too. With about 10 games left in his sophomore season, Sellers dedicated himself to being more than a shooter. It’s shown up in crucial moments this season, too. Ball State probably doesn’t upset No. 9 Notre Dame without several timely offensive rebounds from Sellers.

"It’s been fun for me to watch him mature through those moments," Whitford said. "He’s kind of grown up, so to speak."

His numbers haven’t been near as good as that freshman season (his 8.7 points per game this season is the closest he has gotten to the 12 he averaged as a freshman). His dad, John, wonders what Sean could do now with 18 shots in a game, but playing for arguably the program’s best team since 2001-02 is better.

"(The 3-point record) is a satisfying thing for him, but he wants to win," John said. "His goal is to play in the NCAA Tournament. He’s always said he just wants to play in it one time. And this team can do it."

Sellers (who was also named Academic All-District First Team on Thursday) has managed just fine with less opportunity as he has equaled Jesse Berry’s 224 3-pointers on 115 less attempts. He is shooting 41 percent from 3-point range in his career.

Ball State had five freshmen in 2014-15: Sellers, Francis Kiapway, Jeremie Tyler, Rashaun Richardson and Tye Wilburn. Only two – Sellers and Kiapway – made it all the way to Senior Night. It’s also strange to look back at Senior Night in 2015 as a crowd of just 2,585 watched Ball State lose its 16th straight game. Ball State (19-9, 10-5 MAC) will likely double that crowd Friday – and maybe much more for its #MuncieOut promotion – as it looks for its sixth straight win.

Sellers is now a role player, but a key role player at that. And one who will ink his name into the record book, pushing past the hard times.

"Now you always look back and see you took things for granted," Sellers said. "But I’m definitely appreciative." The Star Press, 2/19/18 The signs of growth are evident in Ball State basketball's freshman duo

Ryan O'Gara

MUNCIE, Ind. — Ishmael El-Amin fell hard to the floor late in Saturday’s game against Toledo and started to pick himself up.

“Stay down, stay down!” Zach Gunn yelled to his fellow freshman, so he could help him up.

Contrast that scene to the first official practice of the season, when a frustrated Francis Kiapway got in the face of Gunn, who was admittedly a little shy and not communicating with his teammates during a drill.

El-Amin (18 points) and Gunn (16 points) finished off arguably Ball State’s finest performance of the season, a 28-point thrashing of first-place Toledo and underscored this point: If Ball State’s bench, specifically these two freshmen, are this good, Ball State (18-9, 9-5 MAC) is as dangerous of a team as any in the Mid-American Conference heading into Tuesday’s game against visiting Northern Illinois (12-15, 5-9).

“We see them practice every day, so we know what they’re capable of,” Tahjai Teague said of El- Amin and Gunn. “It’s not as big of a dropoff as people probably see because we know how they’ve been playing all year. It’s not really surprising to me, I’m just glad everyone else got to see it.”

Added head coach James Whitford: “It’s one of those deals where we know it in practice that those guys are good players and are more than capable than beating you besides what we’ve done lately with Trey, Tahjai and Tayler scoring. We have a lot of guys who can do it, and it’s great to see it happen on a night like tonight.”

El-Amin has played a major role all season, averaging 18.6 minutes per game. Gunn, though, missed six games with a small fracture in his left foot. He also missed time in the offseason with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.

“It has (been tough),” Gunn said. “It’s shown in my play, I’ve been struggling. But the guys keep my confidence up, and they believe in me. That helps a lot. We have a lot of leaders on this team.” Before Saturday, Gunn had been shooting just 31 percent from the floor and 23 percent from 3- point range. But the 6-foot-6 forward showed his ability to stretch the floor in knocking down 4 of 5 from deep, including one about six feet beyond the arc.

“I told him that I really needed him to make one because people keep asking me if he’s allowed to shoot out there,” Whitford said. “I had a tough time explaining to them why the answer was yes, so it was good to see him bang a couple. He can really shoot, and he’s been long overdue. It’s great to see.”

Having El-Amin and Gunn contribute like they did Saturday is an enormous lift for a team with as inexperienced of a bench as Ball State. Aside from the two freshmen, only sophomore walk-on Josh Thompson is seeing significant minutes.

Both freshmen looked the part Saturday, in the box score and in terms of communication. Yes, Gunn still remembers Kiapway encouraging him to be more vocal during that first practice, and he’s proud of where he is now.

“That was one of the biggest things coming in for me, was communicating,” Gunn said. “I know I’ve come a long way, but there’s still a ways to go. Those guys are always leading by example, and I’ve just been following that.”

Ball State Daily News, 2/14/18 Ball State is playing big, and it's paying off By Robby General

Ball State looks like a completely different team compared to the beginning of the season, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

In the midst of a three-game winning streak, including victories in five of their last six games, the Cardinals are attacking the glass more than ever and it's paying off. Wins are starting to string together for Ball State (17-9, 8-5 MAC) who currently sits alone at third place in the Mid- American Conference.

So what's the difference? The Cardinals are a bigger than ever — utilizing Trey Moses at the 5, Tahjai Teague at the 4 and Kyle Mallers at the 3 — and they're starting to figure out how to take full advantage of that.

"We're a lot bigger and it's about those guys relentlessly crashing and making [other teams] pay a price," head coach James Whitford said.

And pay a price they have. In the previous six games, Ball State has outrebounded opponents by nearly seven rebounds a game, including the dominating +19 performance against Akron on the road.

At the beginning of the season, the Cardinals defined themselves as a "3-point shooting team." That's when players like Jeremie Tyler and Jontrell Walker were on the roster, combined with Tayler Persons, Sean Sellers, Francis Kiapway and Mallers, it was easy to believe that this would be a deep shooting team.

With two players off the team and Kiapway struggling to shoot, Ball State isn't that team anymore. But sitting at eighth in the conference in 3-point field goal percentage as a team, and showing no sign of rising from that spot, probably doesn't bother the Cardinals.

"Everyone knows their roles, they're defined at this point and its based on us being confident and trusting each other," Sellers said. "I think that's big and something that we've handled the past couple games." Four players are averaging more than 10 points per game, including Tayler Persons who leads the way with 14.7. A majority of those points are coming from inside the arc, though.

Prior to its travel to Akron, Ohio, Ball State was practicing getting the ball inside more. Getting the ball to 6-foot-8 Teague and 6-foot-9 Moses is allowing the Cardinals to score more — they've both put up 20-plus points each of the last two games — and its resulted in nights like those against Akron and Kent State where Ball State had 40 and 50 points in the paint, respectively.

Getting the ball down low has its obvious benefits, raising team field goal percentage and giving an offense a greater chance to pull in rebounds on that end of the floor, but it's proven to have some other benefits for the Cardinals as well, opening up shots for guys like Mallers, Sellers and even sophomore Josh Thompson when needed.

"We have to be able to get the ball inside," Whitford said. "We're a big, physical team, we have to make sure we can get the ball inside to Trey and Tahjai. It helps everybody, opens up the outside, too."

Moving forward, things don't get easier for Ball State, who plays Toledo (19-7, 11-2 MAC), Northern Illinois (11-5, 4-9 MAC) and Western Michigan (15-11, 7-6 MAC). All teams in the West Division, all trying to separate themselves before the MAC Tournament begins.

Ball State, however, is playing some of its best basketball all year and that fact hasn't gone unnoticed by the players.

"We're coming together as a team and everybody is trying to share the ball," Teague said. "When we're all in there as a team, to me, I feel like we're the best team in the conference."

NCAA.com, 2/10/18 College basketball: Go inside the mind of the fearless Tayler Persons, Ball State's Buzzer Beater Mike Lopresti | NCAA.com Last Updated - Feb 10, 2018 17:27 EST

MUNCIE, Ind.— So you haven’t been noticing what Tayler Persons — the Buzzer Beater of Ball State — has been up to? Well then . . .

The 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left that beat Notre Dame 80-77 in December? That was his.

The 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds showing to sink Valparaiso 71-70 four days later? His, too.

The 3-pointer at 1.3 seconds to shoot down Bowling Green 59-56 last week? Yep.

One junior guard, three daggers. And by the way, all three came from nearly the exact same spot; at the top of the arc, just off to the left. Persons’ magical launching pad.

“It’s just been working out that way. It’s not like that’s my favorite spot,” he said. “Everyone asks me, how does it keep happening?”

Good question. Because there’s more. Persons scored on a drive with 2.2 seconds left at Dayton to give his team the lead, but Ball State lost when the Flyers threw a long pass for a layup as time expired. His 3-pointer with 20 seconds left sent a game into overtime at Kent State, his two free throws with 10 seconds left forced overtime against Akron.

Six games, six tying or go-ahead scores in the final 20 seconds, by a player averaging 14.6 points a game. Each one followed by a call to his dad, who “has been through everything with me.”

That old cliché about imagining game-winning shots while playing in your driveway as a kid? It’s as if Persons has spent a good chunk of this season in his driveway.

“I’ve always been that type of person that played thorough confidence and passion,” Persons said. “I’ve went through those shots in my head a thousand times, just trying to make that play at the end of the game. It’s always been the type of player I wanted to be.” Cardinals coach James Whitford has some thoughts.

“I think there’s two things. He’s got confidence, and I mean this in a healthy way, a little bit of cockiness. He has a lot of self-belief. He’s got the personality that he wants the big stage, he wants the pressure on him when things matter most and wants to be in the position to deliver. And the other thing he has is, he’s a good player. One without the other is not going to get you very far.”

None of this highlight show fodder was exactly by design. “Every one of them was a pick-and- roll play, and the play was designed to give him the choice of what to do,” Whitford said. “In none of them did I tell him, `You have to shoot a 3.’”

Actually, Whitford would rather Persons have driven to the basket against Bowling Green in the final seconds of a tied game. But why kill a theme? “I think at that point,” Whitford said, “he knew what was working for him.”

Clearly, there is a fearlessness to Persons, some of it honed by a tragedy that shook the Ball State program in August, when sophomore Zach Hollywood took his own life. The teammates left behind would never quite be the same. Persons has “Hollywood” and a Cardinal tattooed on his right forearm.

“One thing that this year has taught me, losing my teammate, is tomorrow ain’t promised,” he said. “I can’t get caught up in, what if I miss this shot? I’m going to be down if we lose, but there’s another day tomorrow to live.

“If you’re scared to miss, there’s no point in you taking the shot.”

Things must be going well for a player when it takes a while to summarize all his game-winning baskets.

Notre Dame: “What I remember the most is we were up three, and Matt Farrell hit a 3 to tie it. In my head, I’m like, dang, the No. 9 team in the country and we’ve been beating them all game. When I hit it, I was thinking, I hope to God they don’t score. That’s what happened at Dayton.”

Valparaiso: “I was trying to get to the rim but the guy cut me off so I just thought, I’m going to bring it out and let it go.” Bowling Green: “It was the best one for me because it was [in] conference and it was a win that we needed. I just hit it and looked up at the fans, and it felt like a great moment.”

All this theater has helped Ball State to a 16-9 record. Imagine what everyone will be thinking the next time the Cardinals have the ball for a last shot. Including the defense.

“Honestly, I wish it didn’t have to come to that,” said Persons, preferring nice, undramatic 20- point victories. “It’s just crazy to even think about it. You don’t see that every day, people hitting game-winning 3-pointers. Maybe once in a season, but not three.

“It’s just a blessing from God.”

The Star Press, 2/9/18 How Ball State basketball is thriving after changing its identity mid-season

Ryan O'GaraUpdated 1:07 a.m. ET Feb. 10, 2018

MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State entered Mid-American Conference play as one of the hottest teams in the country. Remember the nine-game winning streak? Ball State had one of the league’s best offenses and an experienced backcourt. Everything was clicking.

A little over five weeks later, Ball State has completely revamped its identity. Out of necessity, of course, without a starting guard and a key reserve due to off-court issues. But to look at the team five weeks ago and to look at it now, it’s almost unrecognizable.

There have been growing pains, for sure, but Ball State seems to finally found its identity as it put on a beautiful display of basketball in an 87-68 victory over Kent State on Friday night, ending a 15-game losing streak to the Golden Flashes.

The offense runs through Trey Moses and Tahjai Teague, who combined for 42 points, 19 rebounds and nine assists. Josh Thompson, a sophomore walk-on who was buried at the end of the bench, is now playing a major role in spelling Kyle Mallers and Sean Sellers to guard the other team’s best player (and knocking down 3-pointers, as he scored a career-high eight points). Mallers and Sellers are also checking other guards – and doing it quite well.

Aside from Tayler Persons running screen and roll – and hitting big 3-pointers – this looks like a completely different team.

“It’s unusual, for sure. But we can be good,” Ball State coach James Whitford said. “I’m confident either way. I’ve been telling our team, and I really believe this, that I’d be surprised if we’re not, you know… a team people don’t want to see at the end of this year. We have to lock in on creating our identity with this team, and how this team is going to win. It’s not necessarily the same team we had a month ago, and that’s fine.”

It isn’t often a team has to completely change its identity mid-season. Whitford can recall one such situation in 2006 while an assistant coach at Xavier. Brian Thornton, a current Ball State assistant, was an All-Atlantic 10 center but broke his leg in late January. The Musketeers went on a run to the NCAA Tournament without him, so it’s certainly possible Ball State can be a different team and still win. It hasn’t always been pretty. The 41-point performance against Eastern Michigan a week ago is a recent reminder of that. The turning point was Jan. 23 at Kent State when Whitford made the decision to go big. In the six games since with Persons, Sellers, Mallers, Teague and Moses as the starting lineup, Ball State is 4-2, with one of those being an overtime loss.

It's working.

“We’ve done really well the past couple games with something we had struggled with,” Moses said. “With Sean, Kyle, me and Tahjai in the game, there’s no way we should be out-rebounded.”

They weren’t Friday night, and it isn’t as if Kent State was a small team. The Cardinals held 7- foot Adonis De La Rosa, who is Kent State’s leading rebounder, to one rebound.

Teague tied a career high with 14 rebounds, and he seemed to get his hands on half a dozen more. Moses and Teague are working well together. Don’t forget, Moses was hurt to start the season and wasn’t playing much with Teague at all. Then Teague came off the bench once Moses went into the starting lineup.

It’s strange to think that size was Ball State’s greatest concern coming into this season – now it is perhaps its greatest strength.

The Star Press, 2/8/18 Josh Thompson gets his chance with Ball State basketball

Ryan O'Gara The son of former Muncie Central and Ball State star Chandler Thompson has earned his chance.

MUNCIE, Ind. — Josh Thompson laments the missed chances. The Ball State guard missed a few shots last year and blew a wide-open layup earlier this season at Oklahoma.

But on Tuesday night against Bowling Green, Thompson finally got one to fall. His first career basket was a mix of excitement and relief. And the culmination of a lot of hard work behind the scenes through injuries and a lack of playing time.

The sophomore walk-on, the son of former Ball State and Muncie Central star Chandler Thompson, is getting a chance for extended playing time. Thompson opened the season as the team’s sixth guard but with Jontrell Walker suspended indefinitely, Jeremie Tyler dismissed from the team and Francis Kiapway struggling, the door is wide open for Thompson.

"It’s crazy," Thompson said. "We’ve played a lot of games this year, and I’ve been encouraging my teammates all year. I didn’t think I’d get a chance to play this year. What happened with Jontrell and Jeremie is crazy. All the coaches have been telling me to stay with it, stay ready at all times because you never know what can happen.

"It’s hard (to stay ready). I don’t know how I do it. I practice hard every day. I never thought I’d get a chance in a game, but every day in practice I just work hard, just in case I get a chance to get in the game. That’s what makes it come easy."

As the son of Chandler Thompson, the star of Muncie Central’s 1988 state championship team and Ball State’s 1990 Sweet 16 team and now the head coach at Central, it’s certainly neat for area fans to see Josh get a chance to show what he can do in a city where his dad is regarded as a legend.

But as Ball State coach James Whitford points out, it’s not the reason Josh is getting this chance. "I have deep respect for his dad at Muncie Central. I have a good relationship with his dad," Whitford said. "But it’s cool to see for Josh, just in his own right, as someone who has earned it here on his own. He’s earned it no matter who his dad was, just with the level of work ethic he’s put in since he got to our place."

Thompson played 13 minutes Tuesday in what was yet another thrilling win, equaling the total number of minutes he has played this season in five games against Division-I opponents (he also played 13 minutes against Oakland City). Whitford said Thompson will continue to have a role moving forward, though it may vary game by game.

Getting his first extended playing time was the culmination of a lot of hard work behind the scenes.

"I’m just happy for him, with everything he’s been through," Chandler said. "Two ACL tears, not knowing if he’s ever going to get to play, sitting and watching and learning from teammates and coaches and being ready — he’s a true professional. That’s what I’ve told him about being a pro athlete, you never know when your number is going to be called; you have to be ready.

"I’m proud. I’m happy. I’m excited."

Thompson has worked hard to stay ready all season, working out alongside Kiapway. While Kiapway battles a shooting slump, Thompson has moved ahead of him in the rotation.

"It’s tough because he’s one of my closest friends. It’s tough," Thompson said. "I’m always encouraging him, so now the tables are turned and he’s encouraging me. He’s telling me all the mistakes I make and how to get better."

The reason Thompson is on the floor is defense. Ball State assistant Brian Thornton told Thompson to find something that makes him different from everyone else, and Thompson decided it would be his on-ball defense. And if you’ve been to a Ball State game, it’s easy to spot.

If Thompson doesn’t have the lowest defensive stance in college basketball, well, he’s got to be close. Whitford said the only player he can think of with a lower stance would be former UNLV star Stacy Augmon (who coincidentally played against Chandler Thompson in the 1990 Sweet 16).

"Once I seen a video of it, that’s what made me see how low I was," Thompson said. "But I never thought I was that low." It’s been fun for Josh to have Chandler back in town. He’s made it to a few Central games this season to see Chandler in his first role as a head coach, but a lot of times their schedules conflict. But Josh keeps in close contact over the phone and sometimes he’ll just drop by the gym. Since Ball State’s game Friday night doesn’t start until 9, Chandler is going to head over to Worthen Arena after Central’s game finishes up.

If Thompson is on the floor, it’ll be as a player ready to take advantage of an opportunity he has worked hard for.

"I’m actually excited now," Thompson said. "All the nerves went away. I don’t really have any nerves. It’s OK to have nerves, but the coaches have told me to stay ready."

Ball State Daily News, 2/1/18 Moses playing among Ball State's best since start of conference play

By Robby General

Trey Moses has been dominant for Ball State men's basketball since the beginning of conference play.

The 6-foot-9-inch junior center is on the border of averaging a double-double with 13.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, is the team leader in both shooting percentage (.563) and blocks (9) and is second in assists and steals.

At the end of any game, everyone knows that Tayler Persons wants the ball in his hands for the last-second shot. But Moses has become just as confident in those pressure situations, which became increasingly clear in the Cardinals double overtime win against Akron Saturday.

"You saw late in the game, I got a rebound and I didn't pass it because I wanted to go to the line," Moses said. "I have confidence in myself that I'm going to knock [shots] down in moments that we need them and, you know, that's the confidence you want to have.

"I've been working on it all year and I finally have it."

Moses hit a career-high 12 free throws in that game, missing just two of his 14 attempts. Most of those shots came in overtime, where Moses hit 10-of-12 to help propel Ball State to victory.

Free throw shooting has been the only part of the game that the big man struggled with this season. In non-conference play, he shot just 50 percent from the line but in conference play he's hitting a respectable 70.5 percent from the charity stripe, making him an even bigger threat says head coach James Whitford.

"Trey's a great player, he helps us at both ends," Whitford said. "He's an all-conference defensive player and he can score inside. Now that he's making free throws, he's even more dangerous."

Following the Akron game Whitford talked about how Moses made 56 free throws in a row during practice. At practice on Monday he clarified — it was actually 59 consecutive makes.

Midway through Mid-American Conference play Moses, along with the entire Ball State lineup, has finally seemed to find a tempo despite its new eight-man rotation. It's a regularity the Cardinals didn't have earlier in the year, as both Moses and sophomore forward Tahjai Teague were coming back from offseason injuries. No longer worrying about that is the reason Whitford said Moses' role has seemingly increased in conference play.

"We had [Moses] on a minute count and that was part of our plan to try and keep him healthy throughout the course of the year," Whitford said. "The other part was that he just got rusty. Basketball is a rhythm game, you have to make [quick] decisions and the more times your put in that scenario the easier it gets for you."

Rhythm, confidence, whatever it may be, Moses is playing better, and with Ball State's commanding win over Toledo, the Cardinals are in contention of being a top four conference team and are on the cusp of yet another 20-win season.

Ball State's next game is at noon Saturday against Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The Cardinals opened up MAC play with a 72-62 victory over the Eagles earlier this month.

Ball State Daily News, 1/18/18 A silent star: The rise of Ball State men's basketball player Kyle Mallers

By Robby General

By now, those who watch Ball State men’s basketball know who Kyle Mallers is.

The same couldn’t be said at this point last season, though, as his role was behind players like Franko House and Ryan Weber. In 2016-17, Mallers’ minor role for Cardinals led to him averaging just 11.2 minutes and 2.2 points per contest.

Both House and Weber, who each play professionally overseas now, were graduating. As his freshman season came to an end, Mallers knew that there was playing time to be earned. The sophomore forward worked on every facet of his game, understanding that his role was shifting from a bottom of the rotation player to a full-time starter.

“I knew I’d be a contributor this year, at least more than I contributed last year,” Mallers said. “I knew that I’d be coming into that type of role where I’d get minutes and become part of the main rotation of guys, so I just kind of locked in during the summer and I feel like so far, it’s been paying off.”

And pay off it has. Midway through his sophomore season, he's atop the team in almost every statistical category, but don’t tell him that.

He probably won’t care.

That’s because at the end of the game, Mallers cares about whether the Cardinals win, not how he looked on the stat sheet. That winning mentality is something he's had throughout his entire career.

“Kyle has always been that guy,” head coach James Whitford said. “Whatever the team needs, he did it. In high school, in AAU and here. He’s always been a team first guy and I’ve always respected that about him.”

The transition The drastic production increase from last year to this year may have come to a shock to the fans in the stands, but it’s been no surprise for Whitford.

After his freshman season, Whitford saw the work Mallers put in during the offseason. Whitford expected him to get faster and more agile. He expected his shot to improve over time. He expected the drastic improvement in his ability and quickness off the dribble.

OK, that last one might have been a little bit of a surprise.

“He’s improved more off the dribble than I would’ve guess, then I would’ve expected him to do in a year,” Whitford said. “But I’m not surprised that he’s that much better than he was last year. … I’ve always said that Kyle is probably better than fans realize.”

As this season neared, Whitford said to look out for the rising sophomore. He knew Mallers was ready to make an impact for the team that wants to bring a Mid-American Conference banner to Muncie. And he’s been proven right so far.

Midway through his sophomore year, Mallers is averaging 26.6 minutes and 10.6 points per game, good for second highest on the team in both categories. His shooting percentages of 46 percent from the floor and 33 percent from behind the arc this season are also some of the highest on the team.

Not to mention the multitude of other things well. He’s third in the conference in free throw percentage (86.2) and second on the team in offensive rebounds (40). He’s also just one of two players who have started every game this season for the Cardinals, the other one being junior point guard Tayler Persons.

Persons has witnessed the development of Mallers from last year to this year and said that he’s not surprised that it happened, he’s just surprised on how it happened.

“I think he took his role and ran with it,” Persons said. “I feel like he’s really found his niche with our team. He’s a tough player … This year he’s really proved that and with our style and everything, he fits perfect.”

Mallers fit in pretty well last season too, it just wasn’t as apparent.

A team player Last season, Mallers was as a utility player of sorts, playing four different positions throughout the span of the season because as Whitford puts it, “That’s what the team needed.”

He didn’t complain though, Mallers embraced his dynamic role as a true freshman and filled in wherever – sometimes that was playing guard and other times it was manning up against the opposing teams big man. While his fluid role helped the team earn its second straight 20-win season, it didn’t necessarily help Mallers statistics on the court, especially in MAC play.

Against conference opponents, he shot just 20 percent from the field and 14 percent from 3- point range as his playing time dwindled down to under nine minutes a game by the time the team boasted another shared MAC West title with Western Michigan. Mallers says the lack of playing time didn’t discourage him because he understood his role.

“It was more of our team at the time, it just kind of worked out in a way where I didn’t get a lot of minutes,” Mallers said. “I knew it was going to be a process and I think that’s part of building a program is freshman kind of just have to take that type of role and I was comfortable doing that.”

That dynamic, team first attitude is exactly what attracted Whitford to Mallers when he saw him playing both AAU basketball and for coach Marty Beasley at Carroll High School in his hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Mallers helped Carroll to a school best 23-4 record as a junior and a sectional championship in his senior season. But again, it’s not that he did it, it’s how he did.

Beasley says that even though Mallers is two years removed from the program, high school basketball players at Carroll still call him “The best teammate they’ve been around.” Whitford recalled Mallers playing down in the post, matching up against the opposing team’s center because that’s what the Chargers needed to win. He made sure he was going to do whatever it took to do that.

“He does all the little things right,” Whitford said. “He’s a very unselfish guy. He’s a true team player and he’s also a really good player. He does all the little things right and in that respect, he’s probably as impactful as anyone on the team.”

While he’s no longer a freshman who started just one game, he’s just as unselfish on the floor. Whether it’s scoring five points against Central Michigan or leading the way with 17 points against Eastern Michigan, Mallers finds a way to contribute. Winning mentality

Mallers left Carroll as its all-time winningest player and as the school’s second-ever Indiana All- Star selection.

As a senior he averaged 14.5 points and six rebounds per game. While those numbers are commendable, they certainly weren’t the best among the members on the 2016 All-Star team. In fact, his per game scoring average didn’t even top the top 200 in the state that season.

But there was something else the selection committee of IHSAA coaches and members from the IBCA saw in Mallers. For them, it wasn't that he averaged double digits every game, it was how he did it.

“You’re looking at a kid that doesn’t put up a ton of numbers because he’s not that type of kid, he wants to win,” Beasley said. “He’s going to sacrifice his individual numbers to win and we’re lucky that we live in a state that other coaches see that and they see the value that he brought to our team.”

Beasley said that Mallers could have put up better numbers in high school, but he was more focused on finding a way to get wins. Mallers led Carroll to a one of its best seasons in history and its first sectional championships in five years after playing through a pair of sub .500 records in his first two seasons.

Mallers “lived in the weightroom,” according to Beasley. After quitting baseball and football by the time he was a sophomore, Beasley knew Mallers was serious about playing in college. He just didn’t know where yet. Mallers received offers from Akron, Ball State, Central Michigan, Evansville, Indiana State, Kent State, Ole Miss and Toledo.

A multitude of things led Mallers to making his final decision, but the fact that Ball State was beginning to win again probably didn’t hurt.

“I knew the program was headed in the right direction and I saw a lot of winning seasons ahead of us,” Mallers said. “I just felt that with it being close to Fort Wayne, knowing that we’d have a good team and that I’d be able to step in and eventually be a contributor on our team were all factors.”

Whatever the reason, Mallers is at Ball State now and it’s on pace to another 20-win season with its 12-6 start. And for the next two years, it will likely remain that way. As long as Mallers is on the court.

“He loves to win and he’s going to continue to develop his role with the Cardinals and with the players they have,” Beasley said. “Whatever he needs to do to be successful, he’s going to do and I would just look for him to improve every year like he has been. He did that in high school and he’s going to do that in college. He’s driven, he’s motivated, he wants to be good and he wants the Cardinals to be good.

“He loves winning.”

The Star Press, 12/6/17 Observations from Ball State's upset of No. 9 Notre Dame

Ryan O'GaraUpdated 8:27 a.m. ET Dec. 6, 2017

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Your friends may turn on SportsCenter or scroll through Twitter late Tuesday and early Wednesday morning and see the shot. They'll see Tayler Persons hop step to his left and bury a 3-pointer in the eye of Notre Dame's Rex Plueger to give Ball State an 80-77 win, its biggest victory since 2001 and first ever over the Fighting Irish.

Your friends may assume this was some sort of miracle. But that wouldn't be doing this Ball State performance justice. Not even close.

Ball State was in control throughout. The evidence? Notre Dame led for just 9:29, less than a quarter of the game.

So make no mistake: It was Notre Dame that almost stole this game, courtesy of Matt Farrell tying it with 21 seconds left on a 3-pointer. Ball State, to its credit, won the game even after Notre Dame's late push.

More observations:

Whitford trusts his players

Wasn't it interesting that Whitford, after seeing Farrell tie the game and send most of the 8,891 fans here into a frenzy, let his team play? No timeouts. No over-coaching. No making this about him and showing everybody what a great coach he is. He knows what he has in Persons, who also gave Ball Sate the lead in the final seconds at Dayton.

Looking at it more broadly, Whitford trusts the guys he recruited over his five years at Ball State to contribute. He didn't shorten the rotation at all against a team of Notre Dame's caliber, which some coaches tend to do. He still played all 10 players of his normal rotation, though Francis Kiapway didn't play much after a nasty collision with TJ Gibbs. Persons played 33 minutes, and that is noteworthy because only one other time has a Ball State player played more than that this season (Persons logged 34 minutes at Bucknell). Notre Dame, meanwhile, played Gibbs (39 minutes), Farrell (39), Bonzie Colson (38) and Pflueger (35) nearly the entire game. Whitford wasn't tempted to do that. Instead he still played his freshman point guard, Ishmael El-Amin, 16 minutes because he has earned those minutes this season. Why change just because there's a few more fans in the seats and the opponent is ranked a little higher?

Trey Moses puts this team on a different level

Moses, who looks fully over that hamstring injury that plagued him early in the season, played a season-high 28 minutes. The 6-foot-9 junior makes Ball State a team capable of knocking off a top-10 squad like Notre Dame. He was a plus-13, meaning Ball State outscored Notre Dame by 13 with him on the floor. This is one case where the stats back up the eye test, because Moses was clearly a difference-maker with nine points and seven rebounds.

Wouldn't it be fun to see what Ball State could have done with those early-season games at Dayton, Oklahoma, Oregon and Bucknell with Moses playing at full strength? I think Ball State wins at least two of those games and is competitive in the other two.

Something (very good) got into Sean Sellers

Sellers, a senior who is one of Ball State's best shooters in program history but is typically just a 3-point specialist, was huge on the offensive glass. He had three offensive rebounds and each led to two points. Sellers was invaluable out there, and it didn't matter that he only made 1 of 5 3- pointers; he found other ways to help the Cardinals win. He finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists and no turnovers in 27 minutes after coming into Tuesday averaging only 2.3 rebounds and less than one assist in the first eight games of the season.

"I just changed my mindset," Sellers said. "I went out there and played with a chip on my shoulder, not really worry about anything else. If I'm open I'm going to try to make shots, which I'm capable of doing, but I'm trying to do everything else."

WISH-TV, 2/21/17 A Special Purpose: Trey Moses

Meghan McKeown Published: February 21, 2017, 7:24 pm Updated: February 21, 2017, 7:24 pm

MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — A 6’9″ center out of Louisville, Kentucky, it only took a year for Trey Moses to establish himself as an impact player on for Ball State.

“He’s better and more assertive in the low post. He helps us hold the standards where they need to be,” said Ball State head coach James Whitford.

In just one year, Trey Moses has doubled his numbers in nearly every statistical category. He even leads the team in rebounding. And while he’s had a pretty big impact on the court for Ball State, he’s had an even greater impact in the community.

Words like “unique,” “outgoing,” and “happy” line the inside of Trey’s arm in the form of tattoos.

“The only disability is a bad attitude.”

They are permanent reminders of the friends that have shaped him.

“I want the world to see that they’re like anybody else; I want them to see that they’re like anybody else,” said Moses.

Moses speaks highly of his friends with down syndrome. He even took Ellie to prom his senior year, asking her by referencing her favorite singer, Taylor Swift. It was a story that went viral.

“She of course said yes, and we had fun,” said Moses.

Basketball has given Moses a way to give back to his friends. The sophomore holds hoops camps for kids with down syndrome during the off-season. Leading young people with special needs has helped the sophomore through personal trials.

“They’ve really helped me through depression. When I get into my hard times, those are who I think of,” said Moses.

Hard times that have developed him into a leader.

“He’s somebody who’s this college athlete, on a personal mission to make an impact on other people’s lives. He’s a role model for those people and fans of the game,” said Whitford. When the last buzzer on the court sounds, Moses wants to make a career out of his passion.

“I want to be a special education teacher,” he said.

A hooper with a purpose, on the court and off.
