Strong defense can’t trump Ball State Men’s Basketball’s poor shooting

Central Michigan took an 8-7 lead with 14:21 to go in the first half. It was short lived as Ball State’s Ishmael El-Amin nailed a 3-pointer 17 seconds later. Then, 30 minutes passed. It wasn’t until then that the Chippewas (19-8, 8-6 MAC) regained the advantage. They kept it for the remaining three and a half minutes to escape with a 64-57 win over the Cardinals (14-13, 5-9 MAC).

With some fresh ideas and a couple risks, the Oscars could be well on their way back into the spotlight.

‘Tetris 99’ is an addictive but barebones battle royale

‘Tetris 99’ is definitely another ‘Tetris’ game. It plays well, and the battle royale gimmick amps up the already intense competitive ‘Tetris’ mode to a whole new level. But with how barebones it is in terms of personalization and options at this time, it’s definitely not the ultimate ‘Tetris’ experience.
