Exhibition games are a chance for players to play under the lights and get the jitters out.
Ball State men's basketball's 74-64 exhibition victory over the University of Indianapolis seemed to do just that — but the win didn't come easy.
"We had to deal with a little adversity out there which was a great test," head coach James Whitford said. "This is a learning opportunity whether you win or lose."
The jitters ran wild early, as UIndy opened the game with a 15-2 run.
“I knew we were better than that," freshman forward Tahjai Teague said.
