After beating Central Michigan in its final home game and snapping a 10-game losing streak, Ball State will attempt to earn a needed road victory this evening.
For a team that sits at 0-13 on the road, winning an away game seems like a tall order, especially against Eastern Michigan.
“We got a real good test this week because Eastern’s defense speaks for itself,” Ball State head coach James Whitford said.
Ball State last played the Eagles on Feb. 12, where opposing center Da’Shonte Riley controlled the game on defense. Ball State lost as it committed 21 turnovers.
Freshman Zavier Turner was a standout for Whitford as the 5-foot-9 point guard was praised for his ability to distribute the ball effectively with eight assists and five turnovers.
Over the past three games, Turner averaged 5.7 assists and 3.7 turnovers.
Senior guard Jesse Berry has improved in scoring, averaging 18.3 points during the last six games.
