Don't count on receiving this game on DirecTV outside of Ohio & Western NY. The conferance did not contract for extending the broadcasts on STO to other areas of the country.


We are favored by 3.5

FYI: Local weather reports just changed for late Thursday night->Friday morning and the area is expecting anywhere from 6-12 inches of wet snow. Plan your trips accordingly if coming from out of town.

My seats right behind him in first row. I did not get the impression it was very serious - coach looked to shrug it off. He was not showing any facial signs of serious concern - joking around/laughing a lot at the end of the game.

In the Messenger article yesterday, Groce said that Nick's sprain is outer ankle, which isn't as bad as inner ankle. He said Nick should be ready to go.

*fingers crossed*

Ball State is tops in the nation in free throw to field goals attempted ratio. They draw lots of fouls. We've got to avoid fouling too much. Perry, Jones and Davis are especially good at drawing fouls. They rely on that a lot offensively. Other than that, they're a below average offensive team. They're a bit turnover-prone, but despite being a fairly small team, they do get quite a few offensive boards. We've been better at that lately, and it will be key again.

Defensively, they've been good at not fouling. We draw a lot of fouls, so something's gotta give. They don't force a lot of turnovers and they give a fair share of offensive boards. Tempo will be big, too. We've got get out in transition as much as possible.

I hope we can bother Jarrod Jones and maybe get him into foul trouble early. He's been big against us in the past. Also, Ball State Freshman guard Jesse Berry has been hot from behind the arc recently. He's 8-18 from deep and averaging over 14 ppg in Ball's last 3 games.

I hope we look inside on offense. Whichever of Ivo/Devo isn't being guarded by Jones will have a big height advantage that we can take advantage of. Devaughn lead us in scoring when we beat them in Muncie. Nick Kellogg hit some big shots down the stretch of that game, so I hope he's close to 100%.
