In a game which featured the Ball State men's basketball team doubling Anderson in points, many career marks were set.
Three Cardinal players set career highs in rebounds, while two recorded personal-best marks in points during the 106-53 rout of the Ravens.
Sophomore guard Skip Mills notched a game-high 20 points, while also hauling in a nine boards, both career-highs. This was the second straight game in which Mills set a career-high in points, as he recorded 15 points against Miami.
"He's a big-time scorer," head coach Tim Buckley said. "He's a guy that can get his own shot, but he can also score in a variety of ways. He can get out in the break and score. He can take you one-on-one. He can come off the pick-and-roll."
Mills was 2 of 6 from behind the three-point arc, as he got some good looks that fell just short.
"I don't think he's forcing shots, and that's really important when you're a scorer -- to take shots within the flow of the game and within your rhythm," Buckley said.
Mills' career night included a few highlights. Just four minutes into the game, he received a pass from Peyton Stovall in transition and elevated to a one-handed tomahawk dunk. Mills also had an alley-oop dunk to start the second half, with Stovall assisting again.
"We just wanted to come out and play Ball State basketball," Mills said.
Stovall had five assists on the night, but his rebounding impressed Buckley more. The Cards' point guard racked up a career-high eight boards to go with his 17 points.
"I really like to see when the guards rebound the way they did," Buckley said.
The Cardinals did an excellent job of cleaning the glass, recording 58 rebounds, as four players notched at least eight. Terrance Chapman led the way, hauling in 16 boards, five more than his previous-high. The senior forward also tied his career-high in points, scoring six of his 18 at the free-throw line.
Matt McCollom also joined in the mix, pulling in a season-best eight rebounds to go with a season-high 18 points. Five of his eight boards came on the offensive end, as he came up one rebound shy of tying a personal-best.
