August 24, 2022 | Men's Basketball
MUNCIE, Ind. – Head Coach Michael Lewis and the Ball State men's basketball team finalized the schedule for the 2022-23 season with the announcement of the Mid-American Conference portion of the schedule on Wednesday.
The Cardinal faithful will get its first look at the team with an exhibition against DePauw inside Worthen Arena on Oct. 29.
"We're excited about the upcoming season," said Coach Lewis. "After talking with those that determine the NET and KenPom rankings, our schedule is a B+ rated schedule. We're happy about the schedule and it's something we can use to help us continue to build the program. Scheduling is one of the more difficult things in these jobs, aligning dates, times, and contracts, allowing it all to work out. We're very pleased with the schedule that we have. We think it will challenge us in the right way as we prepare for our MAC season and ultimately trying to compete for a championship."
