WBB Releases 2023-24 Schedule; Cardinals Set to Host Notre Dame in Worthen
August 23, 2023 | Women's Basketball
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State women's basketball team 2023-24 schedule is chalk full of some top tier opponents both at home and on the road. Just like in years past, 12th-year head coach Brady Sallee and his staff have put together an array of challenging non-conference opponents which will be highlighted with a home game Friday (Nov. 24) after Thanksgiving in Worthen Arena against Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) foe Notre Dame.
"We are excited about this schedule," Sallee said. "Clearly, we have challenged our group with the non-conference slate, but I believe we are built for this challenge. We will be primed and ready for the Mid-American Conference schedule and I look forward to putting this team in front of our Worthen faithful!"
The Cardinals will tip-off the season with an exhibition game in Worthen Arena on Nov. 1 against Trine.
Ball State's season opener will be at home against Tennessee Tech (Nov. 6) for its annual "Field Trip Day" before the team heads on the road for back-to-back contests against Troy (Nov. 11) and at Chicago State (Nov. 14).
The Cardinals then return home for a contest versus Northern Iowa (Nov. 18) before heading south on I-69 to take on in-state rival IUPUI (Nov. 22). Ball State will wrap up the month of November in Worthen Arena for a showdown against the 2018 national champions, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
After that, Ball State will have a five-game road stretch which will start at Saint Louis (Dec. 3). The Cardinals then head to Big East powerhouse and 11-time national champion UConn (Dec. 6) where the Cardinals' sophomore Hana Mühl will face her sister the Huskies' senior Nika Mühl.
Ball State will close its road swing with a trip to Western Kentucky (Dec. 10) prior to competing at the Sun Coast Challenge in Tampa, Fla. (Dec. 19-21). The Cardinals will face two power five schools at the Sun Coast Challenge, ACC member Pitt and Southeastern Conference (SEC) affiliate Georgia.
Following the holiday break Ball State closes the month of December with a game at home against Oakland City (Dec. 30).
The Cardinals open their 2024 18-game Mid-American Conference campaign which will include eight games at home and eight on the road over a 10-week span with a break in February for the newly implemented MAC and Sun Belt Conference Challenge on Feb. 10. Ball State will start conference action at Western Michigan (Jan. 3). The Cardinals home league opener is slated for Jan. 10 versus Buffalo and then BSU will close out MAC play on the road against the Bulls (Mar. 9).
The conference tournament runs March 13-16 with the league's top eight teams advancing to Cleveland for the quarterfinals, semifinals and the title game on Saturday, March 16.
