MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State had no trouble getting reacclimated to Worthen Arena. And if it learned anything Saturday afternoon, it's that its good defense will directly correlate to getting good shots at the other end.
In its first home game in 18 days, Ball State rolled to a 82-72 victory over Evansville on Saturday at Worthen Arena.
The Cardinals (3-3) frustrated the Purple Aces (2-3), who had scored 85 or more in three straight games. That led to run outs, with K.J. Walton (game-high 20 points) cashing in at the rim and Kyle Mallers (17 points) making Evansville pay from deep.
