About the Cardinals
• After playing six of its past eight games on the road, Ball State will play five of its next six at home. The Cardinals begin that stretch Tuesday by hosting Bowling Green for the only meeting between the teams this season.

• BSU is 10-1 at Worthen Arena this season (3-1 in MAC play), with the only loss coming to league leader Buffalo. The Cardinals are 34-12 at home over the past three years.

• Coming off a loss Saturday at Eastern Michigan, Ball State remains tied for second place in the MAC West Division. BSU and Western Michigan are three games behind a Toledo team the Cardinals defeated on the road last week.

• The Cardinals are looking to bounce back from a tough shooting performance at Eastern Michigan. BSU's shooting percentage (.267) was its lowest since 2013, and its 41-point output was its lowest in a game since 2010.

• Junior center Trey Moses has scored 54 points over the past three games (18.0 per game). It is the highest-scoring three-game stretch of his career. Moses is averaging 13.8 points per game in conference play, just slightly behind junior point guard Tayler Persons (13.9) for the team lead. Moses' 9.6 rebounds-per-game average in MAC play ranks third in the league.

• Persons surpassed the 100-assist mark for the season Saturday at Eastern Michigan. He ranks second in the MAC with 4.4 assists per game for the year, behind only Miami's Darrian Ringo (7.8). Persons' 4.7 assists-per-game average for his BSU career ranks second in school annals only to Jim Hahn who handed out 5.7 per game from 1975-79.

Scouting Bowling Green
