MUNCIE, Ind. — The Ball State men's basketball team travels to Costa Rica on Tuesday for a week-long foreign tour that will see the Cardinals return Aug. 5, but looking further ahead two more non-conference opponents are now known.
Through a public records request, the Star Press has learned Ball State will play at home against Northern Kentucky (Nov. 20) and Western Illinois (Nov. 26) this season. Northern Kentucky went 26-9 last season, won the Horizon League tournament and reached the NCAA Tournament. Western Illinois finished 10-21 and competes in the Summit League.
