The Ball State men’s basketball team has made drastic improvements from last season, and it has shown through the first part of the season.

The Cardinals started Mid-American Conference play four wins (9-4) ahead of last year (5-6), and split its first two games in conference.

Currently sitting at 10-5 (1-1), the Cardinals are gunning for the conference championship.
