The last time the Ball State men's basketball team met Eastern Michigan, there was nothing short of drama.
The Cardinals (18-10, 9-6) won 88-87 Jan. 23 behind a game-winning 3-pointer from Francis Kiapway in double overtime. There were several missed calls in the final 15 seconds, leading to the suspension of two Mid-American Conference officials.
Ball State, who is holding a one-game lead in the MAC West Division, hosts Eastern Michigan at 2 p.m. today. The Cardinals are looking to bounce back from a road loss to Toledo on Feb. 23.
Central Michigan - (15-13, 8-7)
