After the 74-64 victory over UIndy in last Thursday’s exhibition game men’s basketball is set to open non-conference regular season play Friday Nov. 11 against the Saint Louis University Billikens.
Last season, Ball State did not play in an exhibition game and lost season opener at Bradley 54-53.
“It was really important for us to get an actual flow of a game,” senior forward Franko House said. “We learned a lot from the UIndy film and if we do what we do against Saint Louis we can win.”
The Cardinals led the Mid-American Conference last season in scoring defense, allowing just 66.
