Â
Ball State returns home the remainder of September when it welcomes Louisville (Sept. 22), Miami (Sept. 27), Michigan State (Sept. 29) before opening the month of October in Muncie versus Longwood (Oct. 4).
Â
The Cardinals will have some heavy travel in October when they play at Central Michigan (Oct. 11), at Michigan (Oct. 13), at Appalachian State (Oct. 18) and then Queens (Oct. 20).
Â
Ball State will host three of its last four games at home against UC Davis (Oct. 22), Ohio (Oct. 25) and James Madison (Oct. 27) before ending the regular season at Bellarmine on Nov. 1 at 6 pm ET.Â
