All-Access: MVP in the House
February 19, 2016 | Men's Basketball
Prior to this week Franko House led the Ball State men's basketball team in exactly one major statistical category: field goal percentage. Even still, he'd proven to be the team's unquestioned most valuable player. Just how rare is that? Head coach James Whitford called it "highly unusual."
Ball State All-Access explored just what makes House such an important piece to this season's Cardinals turnaround. From being the team's most versatile defender to an unstoppable scorer or fantastic assist guy, House and his teammates and coaches discuss his growth and maturity as a basketball player. The scariest part? House is just a junior.
The Cardinals are next in action tonight at Worthen Arena against Northern Illinois at 6:30pm. The game will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and 104.1 WLBC. The game is a #MuncieOut and includes:
