Balado excited about mix of veterans, newcomers

Injuries and late player arrivals because of covid-19 are just a few of the issues the Arkansas State University men's basketball team has had to encounter over the past four months, but Coach Mike Balado's excitement level is undeterred.

"We've got a lot of new guys, and I'm trying to get them accustomed to how hard we play in our system and all of that," Balado said. "It's been good, and I'm happy about where we're at considering everything that we've had to deal with up until this point."

Those dealings include Balado not holding a team practice until July 20.
