The Cardinals Nest
- The Ball State women’s basketball team continues its two-game Mid-American Conference West Division road trip when it plays at Eastern Michigan Saturday with a 2 p.m. tipoff in the Convocation Center. The Cardinals defeated the Eagles in their first meeting in Worthen Arena by a score of 76-54 on Jan. 20. Ball State is looking to bounce back from its 67-66 heartbreaking loss at Central Michigan Wednesday night while Eastern Michigan is looking to extend a five-game win streak after defeating Toledo 58-46 in Savage Arena. If the Cardinals defeat Eastern Michigan Saturday, Ball State will clinch a first-round bye to the upcoming 2016 MAC Tournament in Cleveland (March 9-12).
