Hot for Tots: How Worthen Arena Went Tater Crazy

"You gonna eat your tots?"
-Napoleon Dynamite
On Nov. 5, 2019, with the Ball State men's basketball team routing Defiance College 79-34 in the season opener at John E. Worthen Arena, Yellow Jackets guard Matthew Cline was fouled by BSU's Miryne Thomas on a 3-point attempt with 4:03 remaining. The sophomore toed the charity stripe in front of The Nest. The visit to the line marked the chance for either free points for his team or, potentially, free vegetables for the 3,294 supporters in attendance that evening.
