"He's a difficult matchup because he plays the power forward position for them because they have a really small lineup," Zeigler said. "He's actually a guard. … He can handle the ball, he can drive it to the basket, he shoots it from the perimeter … he's just a really hard matchup."
Ball State was 33-of-51 from the free-throw line last time against Central, with the Cardinals' last 13 points coming from the line. The Chippewas only managed 9-of-17 from the line.
"We came out kind of lackadaisical against them last time," said sophomore guard Robbie Harman. "… Our pressure defense, sometimes we get whistled for more fouls than other teams."
Ball State also outscored CMU 10-0 in fast break points.
"Their record doesn't show how good they are," Harman said. "… They've played every team close. We just didn't realize how good of a transition team they were. That's the big thing we're going to focus on - cutting down their transition points."
