Personnel Update Junior forward Ryan Weber will be available for the Cardinals after missing the first two games for a violation of team rules. Friday s game will be the first in a BSU uniform for Weber, who sat out last season after transferring from Youngstown State. Twin Double-Doubles Bo Calhoun (17 pts/12 rebs) and Sean Sellers (13 pts/10 rebs) both recorded double-doubles in Monday s win over Eastern Illinois. It was the first career double-double for Sellers, who set a career high with his 10 boards. It was the first time Ball State had two players with double-doubles in the same game since Feb. 23, 2013 at Southeast Missouri -- Matt Kamieniecki (12/14) and Chris Bond (11/11). Creating Second Chances Bo Calhoun grabbed a career-high eight offensive rebounds in Monday s win over Eastern Illinois. The Cardinals had 18 offensive boards as a team. Calhoun s eight offensive rebounds were the most by a Ball State player since Majok Majok grabbed nine against Oakland City on Jan. 3, 2014. They were the most by a Cardinal against a Division I opponent since Aaron Adeoye had eight against Miami on Feb. 4, 2012. Big-Time Bench Production Of Ball State s 127 points this season, 54 of them (42.5 percent) have come from the bench. The Cardinals bench outscored Bradley s 18-13 in the season opener and Eastern Illinois 36-8 in the second game of the season. Bo Calhoun (17 points) and Francis Kiapway (12) both went for double figures off the bench in the Eastern Illinois game. Defensive Success Ball State placed a heavy emphasis on its defense during the preseason and its summer Bahamas practices. The work is paying off so far as the Cardinals have held both of their opponents below 33 percent shooting from the field and 28 percent from 3-point range. Calhoun Keeps Rolling Bo Calhoun leads Ball State in scoring (12.5 ppg) and rebounding (10.5 rpg), continuing a trend that started during the second half of last season. Over the final 15 contests last year, Calhoun led the team in points (13.4) and rebounds (7.3) per game. In the first 15 games, he averaged 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds. Over his past 17 games, he has scored in double figures 14 times and posted four doubledoubles. Cardinals Sign Kyle Mallers Ball State inked Fort Wayne, Ind., product Kyle Mallers to a National Letter of Intent during the early signing period. Mallers, a 6-foot-7 wing from Carroll High School, was one of the core six members of the Indiana Junior All-Stars last season. Mallers averaged 12.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for a Carroll team that posted the best record in school history at 23-4. He shot 50 percent from the floor and 38 percent from 3-point range in helping the Chargers win a sectional title. Balanced Attack Eight different players scored for Ball State in the season opener at Bradley, and none had more than eight points. Jeremiah Davis, Naiel Smith and Bo Calhoun scored eight points each, while Franko House, Sean Sellers and Jeremie Tyler all scored seven. Through two games, eight players are averaging at least five points per game. Debut Performances Three players made their debut for Ball State in the opener at Bradley -- junior point guard Naiel Smith and freshman center Trey Moses in the starting lineup and graduate center Nate Wells off the bench. Smith, a junior college transfer, scored eight points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out two assists. Moses scored five points and grabbed five boards. Wells, a fifth-year transfer from Bradley, saw action as a reserve in his return to his old home court. A Lot Coming Back Ball State returns 78 percent of its scoring from last season (1,528 of 1,961 points). The Cardinals top four scorers in terms of points per game are all back -- Sean Sellers (12.0), Jeremie Tyler (12.0), Franko House (10.3) and Bo Calhoun (9.6). The team also returns 76 percent of its individual rebounding total and 72 percent of its assists from last season. Bahamas Experience Ball State went to the Bahamas this summer on a foreign trip, something allowed by the NCAA every four years. The Cardinals played two games on the trip against local Bahamian teams, defeating the CTG Knights (74-53) and the Providence Storm (80-61). Ball State also had 10 summer practices to prepare for the trip. Jeremie Tyler averaged 12.0 points over the two games to lead the team, while Sean Sellers averaged 10.5 and Franko House 9.0. BALL STATE TRADITION 1st NCAA Sweet 16 Ball State was the first MAC team to reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament after the field expanded to 64 teams. The Cardinals, who reached that round in 1990, are one of five MAC teams to make the Sweet 16 since then. 6 MAC Regular Season Championships (since 1980) Only Miami (eight) has more MAC regular season titles since 1980. 7 MAC Tournament Championships The most of any team in league history. Ohio is next with six, followed by Kent State with five. 7 NCAA Tournament Appearances The second-most of any team in the MAC since 1980 (Miami has eight). 10 All-America Selections The most of any program in MAC history. 29 Ball State s 29 wins in 1988-89 still rank as the second-most in a single season in MAC history. The Cardinals finished that season 29-3. 1,156 All-Time Wins The Cardinals have won 1,155 games in 95 seasons of play. 2,485 Ball State s Bonzi Wells (1994-98) ranks as the top scorer in MAC history with 2,485 career points. He also ranks first in MAC history with 347 career steals. 5

He started 29 of Ball State s 30 games and finished with 359 points to rank fifth on the Cardinals all-time freshman scoring list. His 66 made 3-pointers were a Ball State freshman record. Sellers ranked second in the MAC in free throw percentage (.811) and third in 3-point percentage (.437). His 3-point percentage ranked second in the nation among freshmen with at least three attempts per game. Most Improved Ball State post players Bo Calhoun and Franko House ranked among the most improved offensive players in the MAC last season in terms of conference-only scoring average.

The Cardinals return 10 players from last year s roster, including six who averaged at least six points per game. Last year, the Cardinals ranked among the 25 youngest teams in the country. Leadership Council Ball State has a four-member leadership council voted on by the players. Franko House, Jeremiah Davis, Bo Calhoun and Francis Kiapway make up the leadership council. Cardinals Add Veterans Ball State bolstered its returning roster with a pair of veteran transfers in junior college point guard Naiel Smith and fifth-year big man Nate Wells. Smith played his freshman season at Texas State before transferring to San Jacinto College. He was an honorable mention all-region selection in leading San Jacinto to the NJCAA national tournament. Wells graduated from Bradley and had a year of eligibility remaining. He emerged as the Braves starting center down the stretch last season. Ball State added another transfer in point guard Tayler Persons, who will sit out the season after joining the Cardinals from Northern Kentucky. He was last year s Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year. Freshmen, Too Ball State added some size with this year s freshman class, welcoming 6-foot-8 Tahjai Teague and 6-foot-9 Trey Moses. The Cardinals plan to redshirt Teague this season. He was an Indiana All-Star at Pike High School in Indianapolis and was rated as the No. 103 recruit nationally by 247Sports. Moses joined the Cardinals from Eastern High School in Louisville, Ky. He was rated as highly as No. 3 in the state of Kentucky s 2015 recruiting class by Mid-American Basketball Consultants. Winning the Wars Ball State breaks down each game into 10 segments it calls four-minute wars, spanning the time between media timeouts. The Cardinals posted a 2-16 record in conference play last year, yet they had a much better record (85-85-14*) in these four-minute wars. Ball State won more wars than its opponents in six league games, lost more in six games and tied in the other six. The Cardinals are 13-6-1 in four-minute wars this season -- 6-3-1 against Bradley and 7-3 against Eastern Illinois. *includes four overtime periods 6

In his career as an assistant coach at Arizona, Xavier and Miami University, Whitford s teams posted an overall record of 400-208, reached the NCAA tournament 10 times and played in the postseason 13 times. Whitford has laid the foundation for the future at Ball State, installing his system and ramping up the Cardinals recruiting efforts. His first two Ball State teams have been heavy on youth, with the 2014-15 squad ranking among the 25 youngest in the country. Both teams featured the MAC Freshman of the Year, including Sean Sellers in 2014-15. Whitford signed a 2014 freshman class that included three state champions, a prep school national runner up and, for the first time at Ball State since 1996, two Indiana All-Stars. Scout.com recruiting analyst Brian Snow said of the group, Ball State s 2014 recruiting class is one of the best mid-major recruiting classes in the country. The future is bright in Muncie. Whitford has now recruited four former Indiana All-Stars to Ball State -- Sellers, Jeremie Tyler, Tahjai Teague and Tayler Persons. In the decade prior to Whitford s arrival, the Cardinals signed a total of three Indiana All-Stars. The 2015-16 season marks the first time the Ball State roster has included four Indiana All-Stars since 2001-02. Whitford served four years on the staff at Arizona, including his final two as the associate head coach. He was with Arizona head coach Sean Miller for eight seasons, dating back to Miller s days guiding the Xavier program. Whitford also brought more than a decade of experience with the Mid-American Conference, having served on the staff at Miami University under Herb Sendek and Charlie Coles for 11 seasons before joining Miller at Xavier. Whitford helped Arizona to an average of 27 wins per season over his final three years in Tucson, including a 30-win campaign in 2010-11 that featured a Pac-10 Conference championship and an appearance in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. He served as recruiting coordinator at Arizona and helped the program consistently land nationally ranked signing classes. The Wildcats 2012 class was rated as high as third in the country. Whitford was in charge of developing Arizona s post players, one of whom, Derrick Williams, became the No. 2 overall selection in the 2011 NBA Draft. Before heading West, Whitford helped the Xavier program to an impressive run during his four years in Cincinnati. The Musketeers posted an overall record of 103-35, won three Atlantic 10 Conference championships and played in the NCAA Tournament all four years, reaching the Elite Eight in 2007-08. ON THE BENCH Jason Grunkemeyer Associate Head Coach Third Season Miami University, 2001 A former standout at Miami, Grunkemeyer was previously an assistant coach with the RedHawks and at Saint Louis. He played at Miami when James Whitford was an assistant coach on the staff and helped the RedHawks to the Sweet 16 in 1999. He later served five years on the Miami staff under Charlie Coles. Brian Thornton Assistant Coach Second Season Xavier, 2005 A former Academic All-American at Xavier, Thornton joined the Ball State staff in May 2014 after two years at Winthrop. He helped the Eagles to a 20-win season in 2013-14. Thornton also had previous stops as director of basketball operations Xavier and assistant coach at Furman. He played at both Vanderbilt and Xavier, scoring more than 500 points at each school. Danny Peters Assistant Coach Second Season Ohio State, 2010 Peters joined the Ball State staff in June 2014 after serving the previous two years as the assistant director of basketball operations at Arizona. Peters earned his bachelor s degree from Ohio State in 2010. He originally worked as a manager with the Buckeyes before joining the team s active roster as a player for his final four years in Columbus, Ohio. Jaron Henry Director of Operations Third Season Arizona, 2011 Henry joined the Ball State staff after spending the previous two seasons as a graduate assistant at Kent State. He previously served as a student manager at Arizona when James Whitford was on the Wildcats staff. 10
