Worthen Arena (11,500) A Look at the Cardinals Ball State returns to action Monday with a meeting against Longwood for the third straight season. The Cardinals defeated the Lancers in Muncie two years ago and did so again last year as part of Classic in Richmond, Kentucky. Ball State played 10 games in the first 30 days of the season before a break for final exams. The Cardinals have been off from competition since a Dec. 10 overtime win versus Eastern Kentucky. Sean Sellers scored a career-high 32 points against EKU, becoming the first Cardinal to surpass the 30-point mark in a game since Bo Calhoun at Toledo on Feb. 28, Sellers tied his career-high with seven 3-pointers, one shy of the school record set by Dennis Trammell against Marshall on Feb. 6, Sophomore center Trey Moses posted his second double-double of the season against EKU with a career-high 18 points and 14 rebounds. He has scored a career high in back-to-back games. Moses is averaging a double-double over the past seven games at 11.9 points and 11.1 rebounds per contest. Tayler Persons recorded a career-high five steals in the EKU game, marking the most by a Ball State player this season. The Cardinals 10 steals as a team matched the most in a game for the program over the past four seasons. Ball State has been outrebounded in only one of its 10 games (Nov. 27 at Valparaiso). The Cardinals are outrebounding their opponents by nearly six boards per game. Projected Starters (based on previous game) Pos. No. Name Cl.

4 Last Time Out MUNCIE, Ind. -- Sean Sellers scored a career-high 32 points, and the Ball State men s basketball team outlasted Eastern Kentucky in overtime at Worthen Arena. The back-and-forth contest featured 19 ties and 18 lead changes. Neither team led by more than four points after halftime until the final seconds of overtime. Tayler Persons driving lay-in with 47 seconds left in the extra period put Ball State ahead for good, and the Cardinals sealed the game at the foul line. Ball State head coach James Whitford was most impressed with the way his team performed despite being short-handed. The Cardinals (6-4) were without Tahjai Teague, who was working through the concussion protocol after taking a hit in practice. Francis Kiapway was again limited, while Franko House suffered through foul trouble before eventually fouling out. Those things combined resulted in five Ball State players seeing action for at least 37 of the game s 45 minutes. I was really proud of our team, and I felt that way long before the final whistle, Whitford said. I thought we really showed some resilience during the game. We had to deal with a lot of adversity. Despite that, we kept playing, we didn t get distracted, and we kept fighting. Guys really played the game the right way, and that s what allowed us to win. A pair of sophomores continued their impressive play as the Cardinals snapped a four-game winning streak for Eastern Kentucky (6-5). Persons scored 21 points and handed out nine assists, while center Trey Moses notched a career-high for the second straight game with 18 points to go with 14 rebounds. Sellers matched his career-best with seven 3-pointers, one shy of the school record, hitting 7 of 10 from beyond the arc and 10 of 14 overall. The importance of his shots was magnified because the Cardinals were limited on their play card by the injuries and foul trouble. It was a huge help, Whitford said. We had so many guys out of position tonight. I didn t feel like we were able to run much offense, and Sean was really able to stretch them out and score some big baskets that we needed. After leading much of the first half, Ball State found itself in a seven-point hole with 2:17 to play before halftime. But the Cardinals used a 9-0 run spanning the two halves to erase the gap, taking the lead again after five straight points from Sellers to open the second half. From there, the teams seemed to trade baskets virtually the rest of the way. Persons had a chance to put Ball State ahead with 4 seconds left in regulation but missed a pair of free throws. But that didn t seem to bother him in the overtime period. Persons, Sellers and Moses combined to score all 13 of the Cardinals points in the final five minutes.

5 Series History vs. Longwood All-Time: Ball State leads /28/14 H BS /21/15 N BS At Ball State: BSU leads 1-0 At Neutral Sites: BSU leads 1-0 Last Year vs. Longwood RICHMOND, Ky. -- Ryan Weber scored 17 points and Franko House added 14 as Ball State defeated Longwood in its second game at Classic. The Cardinals hit timely shots and got to the free throw line down the stretch to open up a game that was tied with six minutes to go. The team drained 24 of 28 free throws for the evening, including 9 for 10 from Weber and 7 for 7 from Jeremiah Davis. We talk a lot about playing to win, and that means you aren t hesitant down the stretch, Ball State coach James Whitford said. You make attacking plays and be the aggressor, and I thought out guys did that. Ball State opened up a 10-point lead midway through the second half only to see Longwood storm back to tie the game at 57. Kanayo Obi-Rapu hit some key 3-pointers during that stretch on his way to a team-high 21 points for the Lancers. But the Cardinals responded. Nate Wells found Weber for a 3, and House followed with a 3-point play as Ball State regained control. BSU then went 10 for 10 from the free throw line over the final four minutes to seal the win. Davis made four of those foul shots and had the ball in his hands a lot late. Wells played a season high 17 impactful minutes. Ball State went to a zone defense, and the fifth-year big man helped force Longwood away from the basket. Longwood center Lotanna Nwogbo, who went for 27 points and 15 rebounds a night earlier against South Carolina State, managed just four points and five boards. I thought Nate Wells was unbelievable, Whitford said. We were having a tough time defending their dribble penetration, and it was putting us in foul trouble. That s why we went zone. We put Nate in there, and he really clogged up the paint in that zone. I thought he made a big difference in the game. All 10 Cardinals who played in the game scored. Davis finished with nine points, while Bo Calhoun and Francis Kiapway scored eight. House went 6 for 7 from the floor for his 14 points. Franko does a lot for us, Whitford said. He shoots a good percentage, he s a good defender, he s a team guy, and he takes care of the basketball. Ryan Weber had another solid game. It was a great team effort tonight.

Persons, the 2015 Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year at Northern Kentucky, sat out last season as a transfer. In his one season at NKU, he led the Norse in points (13.1) and assists (3.7) per game. He will have three years to play for the Cardinals. Teague redshirted last season in his first year with program. He was an Indiana All-Star as a senior at Indianapolis Pike High School in 2015 and was rated as highly as No. 103 nationally in his recruiting class. Both players have made an immediate impact. Persons leads the team at 15.8 points and 5.9 assists per game, and Teague averages 7.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per contest. Picking up Where They Left off After making the second-most 3-pointers in program history last season (305), Ball State came out hot from deep in the Nov. 11 opener against Saint Louis. The Cardinals went 13 for 23 from beyond the arc in the opener, with seven different players hitting at least one 3. The previous time seven Cardinals made at least one trey against a Division I opponent was Jan. 31, 2015 at Miami (Ohio). 25 Years of Worthen Ball State will celebrate the 25-year anniversary of Worthen Arena this season. The arena opened Jan. 15, 1992 with the Cardinals posting a victory over Miami. Ball State is (.686) all-time inside Worthen Arena.

Ball State has had a total of 35 Indiana All-Stars throughout the years. The Cardinals had 19 from the high school graduating classes, coinciding with the most successful period on the court in program history. They then signed only two over the next 10 years before cashing in on the 2014 class.
