Ball State Women’s basketball team wins a “rock fight” against IUPUI

By Elijah Poe / December 9, 2022

“We're a big game on their schedule,” head coach Brady Sallee said. “I mean, you know, an hour up the road, they want every bit of this and the chance to beat us and believe me when I tell you they’d enjoy winning if they do. Our kids had to make this a big game on our schedule that might be a little bit harder but that's not I'm not being disrespectful it's just a little bit different.” A Rock fight. What head coach Brady Sallee told his players before the game, and in the end, he was right.

Four Takeaways from Ball State's 61-54 victory over IUPUI

By Zach Carter / December 8, 2022

On Dec. 8, Ball State Women's Basketball faced in-state school IUPUI. It was apparent in the first quarter that both teams had issues shooting the ball, and this proved to be a big part of the contest at Worthen Arena. In the end, the Cardinals defeated the visiting Jaguars 61-54. Even with the victory, the game was one that was filled with mistakes.

BREAKING: AP: WNBA star Griner freed in swap for Russian arms dealer Bout

By Associated Press / December 8, 2022

Russia freed WNBA star Brittney Griner on Thursday in a dramatic prisoner exchange, as the U.S. released notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout but failed to win freedom for another American, Paul Whelan, who has been jailed for nearly four years. The swap, at a time of heightened tensions over Ukraine, achieved a top goal for President Joe Biden but carried a heavy price.

Defense creates offense as Ball State downs Saint Louis at home

By Elijah Poe / December 6, 2022

“How many times did you see two or three white jerseys [Ball State] crash in the air,” head coach Brady Sallee said. “Not on the floor, in the air, going after rebounds. That is a team that cares.” Sallee was not wrong, the Ball State Women’s basketball team was crashing in the air with each other, diving on the ground, and going to get every rebound possible. It was a significant factor in the Cardinals' win over Saint Louis 85-51.

Ball State beaten by Duquesne buzzer-beater

By Derran Cobb / December 3, 2022

Jaylin Sellers takes the handoff and goes straight to the basket for a layup plus the foul. He drains the free throw to give Ball State Men's Basketball a two-point lead with 12 seconds to go. Duquesne makes its way up the court, scrambling to either tie or win the game. Ball State defends their matchups well until Tre Clark III gets the ball on the left wing. He dribbles and shot fakes, but Jarron Coleman doesn’t bite. It doesn’t matter. He shoots it anyway. The buzzer sounds and the basket is good. The Dukes win, 78-77.

Cowan defeats Tri-Central 84-71

By Zach Carter / December 3, 2022

The second quarter was not much different with both teams scoring 17 points a piece. Groves talked about the shooting performances from the two schools. “I thought both teams were going to reach 100 [points],” he said. “They shot lights out and we shot pretty decent in the first half.” But after halftime, the Blackhawks stepped on the gas pedal and did not look back. They scored 29 points in the fourth quarter, 15 more points than the Trojans. Junior guard Timmy Watson was instrumental in the comeback.
