On the game here the Norse are coming back hoping to play really well from the year last season. The downside is the Norse lost all but 1 starter from the group. Now, the Norse will have a good group of recruits coming in, but it will be hard pressed for Northern Kentucky to get those recruits playing good all at once. Look for this game to actually tilt towards Ball State as the younger talent and lack of true prep time makes it difficult for NKU to be ready. Final Score, Ball State Cardinals win 68-62.
