Sunday was a big day for a pair of former Ball State men's basketball players.
Majok Majok, who completed his collegiate career in 2014, helped his Melbourne United team nearly knock off the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, while recent graduate Franko House made his professional debut in Holland's first division.
Majok's Melbourne United squad pushed Oklahoma City to the brink in exhibition action, falling 86-85. The outcome wasn't sealed until the final possession when the Thunder's Josh Huestis blocked a pair shots to help OKC escape.
Majok is in his fourth season with Melbourne United of the NBL, playing in his home country of Australia.
