MUNCIE, Ind. — Patrick Jackson is 20 years removed from playing for the Ball State basketball team that reached the NCAA tournament in 2000, but that passage of time hasn’t done anything to dampen his passion for the Cardinals.

Jackson, who played guard for BSU from 1998-2002 and whose name isn’t hard to find in the program’s record book, lives in Indianapolis with his family. His parents are still in the Muncie area and he tries to make it back to campus as often as he can for football and basketball games and more.
