Men’s Basketball Wins Thriller Against Ball State

The Men’s Basketball team would fall to 12th-ranked Arizona on Monday, but Friday’s home opener would not disappoint. (See video for more.)

The Red Sea was getting a little Goofy, and a paid crowd of nearly 7,000 helped make a difference in the outcome of this game.

We pick it up late in the second half, with Callum Barker getting open and laying it in to cut the Ball State lead to 1.

Joel Okafor is going to make this play happen.

He gets into the paint and kicks it out to a wide open Luuk van Bree, who knocks down a 3 to give Bradley a 50-47 lead, and the bench absolutely loves it.

Ball State would have a last-second heave with a chance to win, but it is off the mark.

Bradley opens the Coach Wardle era with a 54-53 win.
