Last season, the Ball State men's basketball team had seven wins through the first 13 games, losing the final 17 games of the season. This year, Ball State is 7-2, riding a six-game win streak and preparing for a matchup against a 5-4 Pepperdine Waves.
“We’re 7-2 and we feel good about it,” head coach James Whitford said. “But at the same time, no one is giving out any trophies—whoever can improve the most between now and March is going to get what they want.”
Ball State's deeper roster has allowed consistency in all nine games played this season.
