Sure, it’s Saturday and the pigskin rivalries are dominating people’s eyeballs today. But what about the MAC? We’re MAC-free on the gridiron, so we turn to the hardwood for the roundball festivities today. And what a Saturday it could be. There’s three marquee games on the schedule (one for a title, I might add) and three others that should provide a win for the MAC squads.
Ball State was a popular pick to win the Mid-American Conference before the season dawned, but it has been a rocky start to the 2017-2018 campaign. Sitting at 1-4 on the season, with all their losses coming on the road, today’s road contest at Indiana State isn’t a “must win” for the Cards, but it would be a good turning of the tides.
