The Cardinals of Ball State come in to the JAR Tuesday night to face the Zips. Going into Buffalo today the Cards stand at 9-11, 3-5 in the MAC. Jermahri Hill, a 6’5” junior guard, leads the Cardinals at 16.2 ppg, while also contributing 5 rpg. 6’10” senior center Payton Sparks is back with the Cardinals after his venture at Indiana and is second in scoring at 12.1 ppg while leading the team in rebounds at 7.8 rpg. Sparks doesn’t see to have developed much since his outstanding freshman season when he was MAC Freshman of the Year and averaged 13.5 ppg and 8.5 rpg. He is still one of the top MAC big men and will be a challenge for Okonkwo and Lyles.

Yep, they do everything but play the Beach Boys "Be True to Your School" in the background.

Senderoff's comments in the Ohio.com article were a little odd and clearly a veiled whine about Akron's NIL advantage. What a whiney puke. How about we revisit actual NCAA recruiting violations like your inability to master the recruiting calendar and making it easily provable through phone records.

He was sick. He gets a reprieve!

Good enough to hang on, not good enough to move on, too good to can...the Mr. Pinky curse.

I'm going to start selling subscriptions! Lead pipe cinch winners at ClarkieBets.com!

Seth Wilson with great D tonight with the primary responsibility on Davis, per Groce.

A Tavari three and an Evan Wilson appearance. Two daggers!!

Evan Wilson waiting to come in. We need a dead ball.

Great job by the Zips on Davis tonight.

Deliberate but good possessions from here on out.

PCCC fans leaving to get home before their house arrest bracelets report them as out.

I love how the Zips have responded every time PCCC has made a run so far tonight.

Is the clock broken??? This feels like it is taking forever!

Some bad transition defense there. Now shake it off and finish strong. They're going to have to come back with threes so lock down the perimeter defense.

C'mon Nate, dunk that ball or make those free throws!

Okonkwo playing with a lot of fire for a guy who doesn't have experience in the rivalry.

I so want them to come out and "step on their necks" but it's never just that easy.

A couple of months in a conservative Christian school is apparently bad for your game.

Young showing who's the best freshman in the MAC. Bud Wentz seeing a future requiring deeper pockets.

How about "Pink Vomit."

MONEY LINE BABY!

There were years I could see this happening. I don't see a team with guys like Gray, Scott, Wilson and the Johnsons getting punked.

DraftKings has it Zips +2.5 and the under/over at 144.5. Those number are all about getting equal money on both sides of the equation, but the betting public obviously sees Kent's pace and defense impacting the result.

Total under 135- PCCC wins Total over 135- Zips win Total over 155- Zips win big
