Ball State is 7-5 at home, awful. They are 4-6 in their last 10 MAC games, having lost their last 2 in a row.

Ball State swept the Rockets in each of the past two years and have won six straight in the series. Once again, the time is now to end the Muncie Mojo. It is time to solemnly descend into the cellar and break out the hallowed graveyard dust, the pyramid power, the poison snakeskin, the lucky socks, the dusty old book of secret chants and satanic spells, the voodoo doll, the shamanic drum, the witches brew, the eye of newt and toe of frog, or whatever other mystical powers and talismans are at hand to break for eternity the Muncie Mojo and bring home a Rocket victory from Ball State. Despite their 4-6 record this years Cardinal team might be primed for yet another upset over the West Division leading Rockets.

Ball movement, deadly 3 point shooting, no turnovers, hard work, never giving up and good defense might be Kowalczyk’s formula for success but Tuesday night while watching the game from Muncie on ESPN+ I’ll be sitting under my crystal pyramid wearing my Druids cap, Gypsy beads, holy underwear, smelly socks and old Converse All Star"s basketball shoes while chanting to the Dali Lama and the High Holy Hoop Gods for the end of the Muncie Mojo.

I’ll be wearing my Tom Amstutz “ This Is Your Team” lucky T-shirt. Great post!

Toledo is a 1 point favorite. Makes no sense when you look at the previous 5 matchups.

I have no faith in being able to beat Ball State, especially in Muncie. Was thinking about going...but....nope. 6th game ive missed this year. I'm doing pretty good with that!.

I hear ya.

Watched the ball cmu game on Saturday and ball state was a mess. Turnovers. Couldn’t shoot. Yet they’ll look like world beaters tonight against Toledo.

Oh they are a total mess right now. But there is something about Toledo playing Ball state lately. We may win. But im not holding my breath about it, nor will i lose sleep when it happens

Right UT is playing pretty good D, but their offense, didn't expect this, is sucking. Expecting a low scoring game. Another zone d by the opposition?

If BSU pressures our shooters, and disrupts our passing lanes, the Muncie curse will continue... Also, cannot let T. Persons have a career night on us like he usually does...

Maybe big Luke will have a career game down low in the blocks? Rocket players have to be able to draw fouls, while hitting their FT's at a 77% clip. What good is that if you can't get to the line more than 16 times a game.

You expect Persons to play well but it seems like Moses is a 6 and 5 guy against the rest of the league and a double-double machine against us.

Not shocked at all to see the line move that much.

It may be ugly but we’ll win tonight

You know what, I think I will agree with you. I think Ball State has written off their season along with their fan base.

I have no idea what to expect. But, I think this; if they are what we hope they can be, they need to prove something by winning this game.

I'm tired of being short (market pun) hope.

Third personal against Luke

Rockets scrapping on the boards.
Could this be the game the Rockets put two halves together?

4th foul on Luke!!!
