August 14, 2024 | Men's Basketball
The Mid-American Conference has released its men's basketball schedule for the 2024-25 season, and Ball State begins the calendar with a road game at Kent State on Saturday, Jan. 4.
The 18-contest slate for the Cardinals features single-plays at home against Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan and on the road at Kent State and Ohio along with two games each against each of the other seven MAC teams. Ball State's home opener is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 7 vs Miami (OH).
The remainder of January features home games against Bowling Green (Jan. 11), Toledo (Jan. 18) and Western Michigan (Jan. 28) in addition to roadtrips to Ohio (Jan. 14), Central Michigan (Jan. 21) and Northern Illinois (Jan. 25).
February begins with road games at Buffalo (Feb. 1) and Akron (Feb. 4) with just one more contest away from Worthen Arena being Feb. 18 at Toledo. The Cardinals host five opponents in the month starting with a yet-to-be-determined Sun Belt Conference foe on Feb. 8 for the MAC-SBC Challenge. Eastern Michigan (Feb. 11), Northern Illinois (Feb. 15), Buffalo (Feb. 22) and Akron (Feb. 25) also make the trek to Muncie in mid-to-late February.
Ball State bookends the home season finale against Central Michigan on March 4 with road contests at Bowling Green (March 1) and Miami (March 7) to conclude the regular season. The MAC Tournament will once again be held at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
Game times and Ball State's nonconference schedule will be announced at a later date. The Cardinals play four Saturday home games and five Tuesday home games in MAC play in addition to the Saturday home contest against a Sun Belt opponent in February.
