Men's basketball sets school record for 3-point shots, attempts

Ball State men's basketball rewrote the record books in its 115-79 victory over Mid-American Conference rival Eastern Michigan on Feb. 27.

Eighteen 3-point shots fell in for the Cardinals, breaking the record set on Dec. 15, 2001, against Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Ball State's 39 3-point attempts against Eastern Michigan was also a school record.

The Cardinal's 115-point performance also tied the program record for the most points against a Division I opponent and is tied for the fifth-highest single-game total in school history.

Head coach James Whitford said even he was surprised by the scoring outburst.
