Since then, the finals of the tournament have been held at on-campus venues of the highest overall seed. With the addition of UMass and expansion of the conference potentially not over (looking at you Western Kentucky), going back to a neutral site could benefit the tournament with greater attendance and accessibility. With the somewhat geographic center of Avon being a solid place, perhaps returning there would make the most sense, especially with it being accessible by air with Cleveland right next door. Parkview Field in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the Single A affiliate of the Padres, also offers an awesome baseball experience. In order to continue growing the profile of the league, with the plethora of solid minor league ballparks amongst the MAC, moving the tournament back to a neutral site could be a solid idea. \u003ca class=\"vwVdIc wzN8Ac rllt__link a-no-hover-decoration\" style=\"curs

With a 12 team CFB playoff coming up we now have an opportunity but limited at best to a 10-12 seed OK better than where we are but realistically with scheduling politics that will be our glass ceiling and that is where we will live. Selling out for Mid week MACTION can be the undoing of even a 10-12 seed shot for the 20 pieces of silver. Playoff money will be a much bigger number and the MAC will need to address what in the way of scheduling can advance our chances to get there. Perhaps moving MACTION to October and allowing important November games on Saturday afternoons which by their very nature should boost home attendance. Eliminating rivalry games on weeknight MACTION. Outside of the MAC footprint no one knows who or what are long term rivalry games. The viewing audience (TV) are either locals who love their team but chose to avoid the elements and the comfort of big screen. Nuff said there.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasketball and moving from 1 bid to two or more. Make the regular season champion the automatic bid. Use the tournament to advance a potential number two.

So here's a thought...Bring UMass and UConn in for football ( I k now . How does that improve football and the answer is it really doesn't but they are the remaining independents since New Mexico State has found a conference. We already know that UMass and UConn will never bring basketball programs to the MAC that is a given. BUT if they agreed the price for a football home is a basketball scheduling agreement four games per year two home two road, rotating annually so current 12 members get a game every 3 years (if my math is correct) that in itself would be a schedule boost for the power rating bottom line.\u003c/p\u003e\n","shortID":"PZyXrYxmICcD","modStatus":"None","author":{"id":"83f6e2ec-2f1b-4bc0-90f6-57890a5c0268","username":"Jim DiSerio","displayName":"Jim DiSerio","displayNameOrUsername":"Jim DiSerio","avatar":"https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/profile_images/6439678/.open-uri20200914-34153-zv8a4s.jpeg","role":"USER","profileID":"bo7VV20NGF","profileURL":"https://www.hustlebelt.com/account/profile","isTrusted":false,"createdAt":"2020-09-14T17:27:35.000Z"},"attachments":null,"community":{"id":"2206adec-1d3c-40db-8e36-b9df26fc118e","cacheID":15,"type":"General","name":"Hustle Belt"},"createdAt":"2024-01-07T22:02:38.000Z","deletedAt":null,"recs":0,"replyCount":0,"isRecced":false,"directReplyCount":0,"isReccedByStaff":false,"isReported":false,"isLegacy":true,"type":"FanPost","repliesAreClosed":false,"adOnly":false,"poll":null},{"id":"623ecdfe-f311-4988-a8c8-859304d35048","parentID":null,"title":"Game Recap: Ball State @ Indiana State (11/12)","body":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBy: Adam Altobella\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003eOn the heels of the largest win in program history, the Ball State Cardinals fell to their in-state rival Indiana State by a score of 83-71 on Saturday, November 12.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-style: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;white-space: normal;text-decoration: none;font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003eThe Cardinals struggled mightily in the first half, which forced them to play from behind the entire afternoon.

After a search for a new head coach, which was rumored to have included the likes of Bonzi Wells and Tom Crean, former Director of Athletics Beth Goetz announced the departmentâs selection: Michael Lewis. Lewis comes to Muncie as a prep standout at the southern Indiana Jasper High School, a tenacious guard under Bobby Knight, and as an assistant coach at some of the nationâs most storied basketball programs. The Cardinalsâ new head manâs resume sparked a palpable sense of excitement around the program which had consistently failed to meet postseason expectations under James Whitford. This is a new era of Cardinal ball; the Lewis era\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003eThe 2021-22 Season in Retrospect\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e The squad had made consistent strides toward success in 2019-20 prior to the Covid-canceled MAC Tournament, and showed flashes of brilliance during the 2020-21 season amidst Covid postponements and player quarantines. However, the team that the Cardinal faithful had hoped would continue this upward trajectory had disbanded. At the conclusion of the 2020-21 season, Ish El-Amin, KJ Walton, Jarron Coleman, and Zach Gunn all entered the transfer portal. This left gaping holes in the Cardinalsâ roster for the following season.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e The 2021-22 season marked coach James Whitfordâs ninth year at the helm of the program, and he certainly had his work cut out for him with a greatly inexperienced team. Of the 15 men who started the season on the roster - Kani Acree and Teemu Suokas departed mid-season - 11 of them classified as either a freshman or sophomore.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e The start of the 2021-22 season was certainly a rocky one, given the inexperienced bunch. On November 3, 2021, just six days before the first game of the regular season, the Cardinals welcomed the Division II Michigan Tech Huskies to Worthen Arena for an exhibition game. In front of a crowd eager for the start of the season, Ball State fell 69-70, despite a passionate scoring run at the end of the game.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e After the exhibition loss to Michigan Tech, the Cardinals continued to exhibit inconsistency, and an inability to close out tight games throughout the non-conference slate. The squad f
9inished the out-of-conference schedule with a bleak 5-7 record, though they picked up admirable wins against UMass and Indiana State.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e Once the calendar flipped to a new year, Ball State experienced many of the same issues in the ever important MAC season. The Cardinals often struggled with ball movement, offensive cohesiveness, and team chemistry. They led the conference in turnovers per game, which not only affected offensive performance, but also gave plentiful fast break opportunities to opponents. There was often no legitimate alternative to Payton Sparks at the five spot, which created problems when he was out of the game. And, finally, injuries and Covid issues were also present.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e Ultimately, the team finished 14-17 (9-10 in MAC play), and lost to Ohio in the first round of the conference tournament. It was certainly a disappointing season, which unfortunately resembled past seasons. The fanbase saw the writing on the wall, and understood that it was time to part ways with Whitford.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e Although the 2021-22 season was riddled with disappointment and inconsistency, there is one bright spot to reflect upon: it gave freshmen Payton Sparks, Basheer Jihad, and Jaylin Sellers meaningful minutes. PBJ, as the trio is affectionately known, now has experience which will be a key factor in this seasonâs success.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003ePlayer Departures\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e Given last yearâs youth, the Cardinals only truly lost one player to graduation: Blake Huggins. Huggins showed immense progression throughout his time in Muncie, but he did not see the floor much in Whitfordâs system. During his final season, playing under Payton Sparks, Huggins only appeared in 16 of the teamâs 31 games.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e As expected with a coaching turnover, the program experienced an eventful offseason, with the majority of the roster putting their names into the transfer portal. The announcement of Coach Lewisâs hiring led some of these players back to Muncie, while others continued with the transfer process. By late spring, four players had officially parted ways with the program, and announced commitments to their new programs: Myrine Thomas (Kent State), Tyler Cochran (Toledo), Luke Brown (Stetson), and Josh Bryan (Marian).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e The Cardinals will be especially affected by the departures of Thomas and Cochran, as they were both major contributors on the 2021-22 team. Last season, Thomas was third on the team in scoring with over 11 points per game, and paced the squad in blocks: Cochran was second on the team in scoring with nearly 12 points per outing, and led in steals with two per game. Since both players opted to transfer to MAC institutions, the Cardinals will see both of them twice this season\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-style: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;white-space: normal;text-decoration: none;font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003eRoster Additions\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003eJarron Coleman\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e Jarron Coleman, an Indianapolis Cathedral product, played one of the best freshman seasons in Ball State program history during the 2019-20 campaign. During his breakout first year in Muncie, Coleman was named MAC Freshman of the Year, and scored the 10th most points for a freshman in program history. Although injuries plagued the 6â5\" guard during the first half of his sophomore year, he impressed in his 13 games, and capped off the season with a 33 point outing in the teamâs conference tournament loss to Toledo. Colemanâs future in the program looked bright, until he announced his decision to transfer to Missouri. While suiting up for the Tigers in 2021-22, Coleman averaged 8.6 points per game, and led the team in three-point shots made. Despite his success in the SEC, Coleman decided to return to Ball State after just one season. The 2019-20 MAC Freshman of the Year has now proven himself at the mid-major and high-major levels, and he should be an impact player this season.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-style: normal;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;white-space: normal;text-decoration: none;font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003eDarian Owens-White\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;\"\u003e Darian Owens-White arrives at Ball State as a graduate student, after spending four years at Division II Wayne State University in Detroit.

Owens-White graduated from Wayne State just 15 points shy of 1,000, and with the tenth most threes made in program history.

While competing at Chapel Hill High School, Bell was a Georgia First-Team All-State honoree, and averaged nearly 20 points per game during his sophomore year. After a successful high school career, the 6â3\" guard opted to attend Link Year Prep for a gap year, in which averaged 19.3 points per outing, and shot the three at over a 40% clip.

As a senior, Futa averaged 9.5 points per game, 5.0 rebounds per game, and 1.4 steals per game.
