Ball State is No. 1 in the country in free throws attempted per field goals attempted and they shoot free throws at a fairly average clip. That's the key to their offense, which really isn't all the great as a whole.
Jarrod Jones, of course, is a great post player and he takes about one-third of his team's shots, which is in the top 25 in the country in the percentage. Randy Davis is a good passer, but hasn't shot well this year. Juwan Scaife is second on the team in scoring, but he's shooting a low percentage too. Malik Perry doesn't shoot often, but he's been efficient.
The Cardinals are not a big team. Jones is 6-9 and then after that they mostly go with guys 6-4 and smaller. Perry is 6-4 and 240, so he is physical, but other than those two, the guys are 200 and less. I hope that means good things for Ivo and DeVaughn.
But even though they are small, they've played really good defense. They don't foul much either.
Ball State's best win was against Indiana State the second game of the year. Since then, their wins are against teams around 200 and lower. Then again, all of their losses have been against teams around 140 and higher. We tend to fall somewhere in between, so I think we stand a good chance if play a good team game like we did for most of the game against Eastern Michigan.
