Mallers’ Career Game Ignites Ball State to 79-59 Win over Western Michigan

MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State men's basketball team will head into its open week riding back-to-back wins after pulling away from Western Michigan in a 79-59 victory Saturday afternoon in Worthen Arena.

The Cardinals scored 52 points and hit eight 3-pointers after intermission to break open what was just a one-point lead at the break.

"We grew a little bit in the sense that when things weren't going well for us, we kept our defense where it needed to be," Ball State head coach said. "That's been an issue for us, and I thought that was great today.
