Local notes: Ball State men's basketball learns Diamond Head Classic fate

MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State’s men’s basketball team knew it would spend a few days in late December playing in the 2019 Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic, and now it knows who it’ll face first.

The Cardinals will match up with host school Hawaii on Dec. 22 in the first round, according to a release, and the winner will face the winner of UTEP and Washington. The other side of the bracket features matchups between Houston and Portland and Georgia Tech and Boise State.

Every game of the tournament will be televised on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.
