ChirpFest proceeds despite weather Students enjoy music festival through wind, low temperatures SABRINA SCHNETZER EVENT REPORTER | slschnetzer@bsu.edu

The music thumped and students jumped to the beat as ChirpFest took over Dill Street on Saturday.

People came out for a night of music, despite the chilling temperatures — the low temperature for the day was 27 degrees.

Created by two Ball State students, ChirpFest took place on Dill Street between Brother’s Bar and Grill and Village Promenade from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Freshman Jake Russell said he enjoyed the good music, but not the chilly weather.

“There’s not very many people here,” Russell said during the event. “I think it’s because it’s cold.”

ADA questions Late Nite accessibility Student aspires to raise awareness about disabilities

|

MICHELLE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY/ BUSINESS REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu

Late Nite isn’t always accessible to students in wheelchairs, the vice president of the Alliance for Disability Awareness said.

Lauren Slaven, vice president of ADA, recruited members of ADA to attend Late Nite in wheelchairs twice during the month of March because she wanted to bring awareness to the fact that there are limitations for students with disabilities who attend the activities.

Slaven attended the first Late Nite of the year with graduate student Keiuma Bennett, who is a power chair user.

The two found out there was no accessible bus transportation from Bennett’s Anthony apartment to the L.A. Pittenger Student Center, where Late Nite is held.

They walked to Late Nite, but sometimes Bennett’s chair battery would die and could not make it round trip.

After a semester of talking with Late Nite organizers, an accessible bus was provided. But even when they at-

BALL STATE SWEEPS 3-GAME SERIES

Cardinals score 41 total runs against Western Michigan COLIN GRYLLS ASST. SPORTS EDITOR | sports@bsudailynews.com Ball State baseball (21-12, 7-2 MAC) swept Western Michigan (8-20, 1-5 MAC) in its threegame series, outscoring the Broncos 41-6.

Head coach Rich Maloney had a simple explanation.

“There really isn’t much you can say,” he said. “We were pretty dominant.”

At the plate, the Cardinals hit .426 (48-108) with 15 doubles, three triples and five home runs.

Junior first baseman Caleb Stayton was 9-15 in the series with seven runs scored, 11 RBIs, three doubles, a triple and a home run. He said it’s great the Cardinals are clicking during Mid-American Conference play.

“We want to try to play our best ball in conference,” Stayton said. “I think we’ve got

more in it, but we’re definitely moving in the right direction. … It’s just fun to come out here and play, even when it’s cold as heck out here.”

Rain forced the two teams to postpone Friday’s series opener, and snow pushed Saturday’s start time back to 3 p.m.

Ball State won the series opener 7-2 and scored five earned runs against Western Michigan junior left-handed pitcher Keegan Akin.

tended Late Nite, they could not participate in many of the activities.

“A lot of their events just aren’t accessible,” Slaven said.

“We go and we can do the craft and maybe if we’re lucky one or two activities, but usually Late Nite meant for us going down and bowling because it was the only accessible activity that they consistently had.”

Students form relationships with grade-school ‘buddies’ Mentors introduce children to activities available in college

|

CARLI SCALF GENERAL REPORTER crscalf@bsu.edu

Every Monday at 3 p.m., freshman Emily Clouser waits with anticipation as a bus of New Albany second graders arrives on Ball State’s campus.

Her eyes search the crowd until, suddenly, a boy runs up out of the sea of students and tackles her with a hug.

It’s Christopher, her little buddy in the College Mentors for Kids program, and she’s become pretty attached to him.

“He was so excited, he gave me a hug before he even knew my name,” she said of the first time they met in September 2015.

Since then, Clouser and other mentors like her have formed close relationships with their buddies and built memories neither will forget.

“She was really quiet in the beginning, and we weren’t always sure of what to say to each other,” said freshman Mary Fuchs about her buddy Kelsey. “But now, we just talk the whole time.”

Among Kelsey’s favorite topics are giving “life hacks” to her mentor — Fuchs says their friendship is the best part about the program.

While Ball State’s College Mentors for Kids serves 220 kids from five grade schools, it is one part of a larger national program that contains 33 chapters and reaches more than 2,000 grade schoolers.

The program matches college students with a buddy from 1st through 5th grade.

Younger students are eligible for the program if they are considered at risk of not attending college due to personal situations.

One day a week, the students visit campus and participate in different activities to introduce them to the opportunities available in college.

This year, Ball State’s chapter implemented an Activity

Before the event started,

Planning Committee to organize the activities the children engage in each week.

Previously, mentors had been responsible for planning the weeks’ events. Though changes within an organization can be difficult, Jami LaFord, the current president of College Mentors, feels it was worth it.

“Starting something new is definitely a challenge, but our committee is fantastic,” she said. “I believe this change is going to be so beneficial for us in the years to come, because instead of mentors worrying about planning the activities, they can focus on their little buddies.”

Throughout the course of this year, the committee has planned a tour of Scheumann Stadium, a lesson with the Ball State quidditch team and a government day with the Student Government Association.

Marco Leon, the vice president of the activity planning committee, has found the role to be rewarding.

“I struggled with it at first, but eventually I jumped on board and we all worked to make it as strong as possible,” Leon said. “From the beginning, I wanted to do all I could to help the buddies and make it fun and entertaining, but also make it educational and for them to get something out of it.”

In addition to being a mentor, Fuchs is the only freshman member of the new Activity Planning Committee.

All mentors have to be interviewed for the program about their experience, interests

Although the weather was cold, Nordenbrock wanted people to still come out and

and reasons for wanting to join the program. When Fuchs interviewed, she asked how the activities for the kids were planned. They told her about the new board, and she was later offered both a mentor and committee position.

While she feels she has been able to make an impact on the buddies, it is the kids’ impact on her Fuchs found most significant.

“I feel like she’s changed me to be more open to going out of my shell,” she said of buddy Kelsey. “I watch her grow so much with her buddy family, and I feel like I’ve become more of a leader just within activity planning. I just want to be a good role model for her. Anything I tell her to do, I want to be able to be doing it too.”

Leon has seen the effect the program can have on the buddies’ future in action. His fourth-grade buddy Cody has become more interested in college since joining the program.

Originally, Cody was averse to the idea of college, only wanting to become a rockstar. After a recent activity, however, he began to change his mind.

“We went through the architecture building and were able to see all the models and artwork, and the cool tools they get to use like the laser cutting and 3D printing,” Leon said. “Of course, he still wants to be a rockstar, but he said, ‘Yeah, I could see myself doing architecture along with that,’ and I was like ‘Alright, man!’ It was cool just to see from the beginning of the year when he

said, ‘Nope, no college, never,’ to one of these activities starting to change his mind.”

As Clouser reflected on her first year in the program, she was most grateful for the small moments that allowed her to be a good role model for someone who needs it. Christopher is also fond of her.

“For Christmas, he wanted to get me a present, so he got me a shoebox, and he cut a picture of shoes out from a magazine and put it inside,” she said. “When I opened it, he said he got me a new pair of hot shoes — they were red heels.”

LaFord has witnessed the relationships that form over time through the program.

“Seeing that relationship between the buddy and the mentor is so awesome, especially when the two didn’t even know each other six months before,” she said. “Seeing where our chapter is now compared to where it was my

We started cooking together in the summer of 2015 and have planned and cooked a dinner every week since. Our recipes are often inspired by the New York Times’ cooking website but are adapted to fit Muncie availability and a college budget.

The weather doesn’t feel like spring, but we do.

This pasta is entirely our own creation.

Pasta primavera Estimated cost per serving: $1.30 Ingredients bought for this recipe • Italian sausage - Meijer, $2.50 • 1 cup frozen peas - Meijer, $1 • 8 stalks asparagus - Meijer, $2.50 • Egg noodles - Meijer, $1.95

Ingredients we had onhand • 1/2 onion, chopped • 1 cup heavy cream • Butter • 1/2 cup white wine (optional) Equipment used • Large skillet • Large pot of salted water • Stove Directions 1. Slice the sausage into

small pieces and cook for a few minutes on each side in the skillet, until each piece is no longer pink in the middle.

2. Remove the sausage from the pan and place on a plate, but do not wash the pan. Rinse the frozen peas in hot water until they are soft, but not mushy. Cut the white bottom of the asparagus stalks off, then cut the smaller pieces in half.

3. Add about two tablespoons of butter to the pan. Place the large pot of water on to boil. Once the butter melts, add the onion, peas and asparagus and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat.

4. As the vegetables get close to fully-cooked, add the egg noodles to the boiling water. We found egg noodles cook really fast — 5 minutes or so.

Test them frequently so the pasta does not become overcooked.

5. While the pasta cooks, add the cream, wine and 2 more tablespoons of butter to the vegetables.

Add the sausage back to the pan. Stir frequently while simmering over medium-low heat. The sauce should thicken and turn darker in color.

6. Drain the pasta, place on a plate and top with vegetables, sausage and some sauce. Serve with grated parmesan cheese.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor in the program, contact Lexi Wood at amwood@bsu.edu about applying and look out for a call-out meeting during the Fall 2016 semester.

You can also apply via collegementorsforkids.org by visiting the site and clicking “become a member.” freshman year is incredible.”

Most of the mentors come from similar areas, like education, social work or speech pathology. As the program looks ahead, future program president Lexi Wood explained they want to expand their outreach on campus.

“We hope to get more involved throughout campus and reach a variety of different majors to become mentors,” Wood said. “Our organization thrives when having variety, and we are looking to expand majors and genders. Our organization is also unique in that we have many different leadership positions available.”

the beginning of the Fall 2015 semester.

“We started ChirpFest because we saw a void and we wanted to fill it,” Norwood said. “A lot of the bars started to close down in the Muncie area. We wanted to find a reason for businesses to come back. We worked closely with

the city of Muncie.”

Although they are graduating, they have passed the baton to eight other students, including Nordenbrock, who will continue putting on the event for students and the community.

“It’s for and ran by students,” Norwood said.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EMAIL SURVEYS Graduate students discuss process of online research

|

SARA BARKER GENERAL REPORTER slbarker3@bsu.edu

DN FILE PHOTO BRIANNA KIRKHAM

The Red Bike Initiative, a Student Government Association-led program, will let Ball State students rent bikes from the school for a semester. The program hopes to take the abandoned bikes left on campus every year and refurbish them to repurpose as rentals.

Ball State students can always count on receiving email surveys from graduate students, but many might not realize how important their responses are to researchers.

It can be fun to take a few surveys — after all, not many people want to know about personal things like Netflix usage.

However, as more arrive in, it can seem like it’s not worth it to spend time taking them. Though some surveys have a drawing for a gift certificate linked with them, there may not be any payback for others.

Recycled bicycle initiative begins LATE NITE: 1st test trial New program aims to turn abandoned bikes into rentals

|

SABRINA CHILDERS SGA REPORTER sechilders2@bsu.edu

For students who wish they had a way to get around campus besides walking, there may be hope.

The Red Bike Initiative, a Student Government Association-led program, will allow students to rent bikes from the school for the semester. Ideally, the program will take the abandoned bikes left on campus every year and refurbish them to repurpose as rentals.

The program launched its test trial, which consists of nine undergraduate students and one graduate student, this past week.

Catherine Burgess, chair of SGA’s Council on the Environment, said the idea was brought up to create a sustainability project with the bikes that are abandoned every year on campus.

It helps both students and the environment by recycling the old bikes.

Burgess said so far, the test trial looks promising.

“We plan on getting in touch with our volunteers, seeing how things are going,” Burgess said. “Then at

RALLY:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

HB 1337 puts new stipulations in place for women who want to have an abortion. These include being informed by a doctor of the risks of abortions; signing forms stating the abortion is not due to the gender, race or potential disabilities of the fetus; and making the woman wait for at least 18 hours after meeting with a doctor to have the abortion performed.

After a woman has an abortion, under HB 1337 she would have to provide burial or cremation for the fetus.

Those in attendance felt the bill infringed upon a woman’s right to choose for her own body. Berkley Conner, a first-year graduate student in the communication studies program at Ball State, attended the rally and said there was an even higher meaning to it.

“Not only is it a rally against that bill, but it’s sort of a rally for the greater good,” Conner said. “I really hope this rally shows Indiana legislators how we feel about our right and where we are right now in the state of women, and how small we are made to feel when legislation like this passes.”

Lauren Seitz, a senior English and French major, also attended the rally. She said the bill will create financial problems for the hospitals as well as the women.

“I understand that they’re trying to humanize [the fetus] so that you wouldn’t want to get an abortion,

students Courtney Dress and Joshua Smith are currently running an email survey about relationship dynamics and motivations of relationship across sexual orientations.

Dress and Smith explained why they run surveys, how they use students’ responses and what respondents can get out of answering the survey.

Conception: Graduate students need to have experience in research. Dress said they are conducting their survey to show potential PhD programs they can study minority groups — in this case, sexual minorities like gay and asexual people.

“You’ve probably seen in surveys and stuff, it’s like the choices are like heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual and they act like those are the only three choices, you know?” Dress said. “But it’s like, there’s asexual, there’s pansexual, they’re just total-

ly ignored. … These people are out there and no one’s studying them.”

Posting: Dress and Smith sent out a survey link to all Ball State students via email, but have also posted in other places and have received results from around the world. Because this particular study relies solely on the results collected from the survey, it is especially important for there to be a large and diverse response.

So far, they have received around 600 responses, roughly 250 from Ball State students and 350 from other websites, most of those from Tumblr.

“We definitely have a good amount of asexuals, like over 200,” Dress said.

“We actually have a lot more women than men.”

Publishing: This survey will be taken down in about a month. At that time, Dress and Smith will analyze their results and, if they have got-

ten enough responses and representation of sexual, ethnic and gender diversity well enough, they will publish. For this particular study, it will most likely be published in a sex research journal or a psychology journal.

Reward: At the end of this survey, the participant can submit their email in a separate survey for a chance to receive one of two $25 Amazon gift cards.

“I think that’s the only thing we’ve had to pay for,” Dress said. “If it were more, we’d probably try to get a grant.”

So far, most participants have entered the drawing for the gift cards. However, because the survey is available around the world, it is possible nobody from Ball State could win a gift card.

Follow-up: After publication, Dress and Smith hope to investigate the area of sexual minorities further with additional studies based off of their results.

the end of the pilot, they are going to take a survey asking for their feedback.”

The initiative has been in the works since Fall 2015. It started with simple social media polls to see if students would be interested in the program.

After receiving positive feedback, Burgess said the council moved on to making the connections to get the program rolling.

The council is collaborating with Outdoor Pursuits for the housing of the bikes and Kirk’s Bike Shop for bike refurbishment.

As the trial continues, Burgess said Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler has even started to take an interest in the program, and the council met with the Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee to share its ideas.

“They are excited to see this program potentially launch,” Burgess said. “Hopefully, in the future, we can pair up with the city of Muncie to make this a bigger program.”

Burgess said it’s one of her biggest hopes for the project to stretch into the city of Muncie.

“I really hope to see this program grow into a major bikeshare program integrated with the city,” she said. “There is still a lot of work to be done with logistics, but we are just doing this trial run to even see if students are interested in a program like this.”

but the problem is that most likely, if the woman doesn’t want to cremate or bury the fetal remains, they’ll pass it on to the hospital,” Seitz said. “And the hospital will probably pass those costs on to the woman who didn’t want to do either of those things in the first place.”

About 15 members of Intercessors for Life, an anti-abortion rights group based out of Indianapolis, also attended the rally.

Brooke Guerrero, a member of Intercessors for Life at the rally, wanted to represent what she called preborn babies.

“I don’t think you should be able to kill a baby for any reason,” Guerrero said.

“The baby’s right to live supersedes the woman’s right to not be pregnant.”

Although Guerrero represented anti-abortion views at the rally, she did not support HB 1337.

“I actually think that it’s a bad law too, but for different reasons than they do,” Guerrero said. “All you have to do if you want an abortion is just sign a paper to say you’re not discriminating and then you can still have the abortion. And so in my opinion, any law that ends with ‘and then you can kill the baby’ is a bad law.”

Supporters of the rally and members of Intercessors for Life verbally clashed, but there was no violence of any kind. When debate between the two groups became heated, police stepped in and separated those in a dispute.

Bennett attends Late Nite with Slaven every week and loves it, but said she wishes there were more activities for her to do.

“I think it’s important to do, to bring awareness that everyone comes to Late Nite, not just people without disabilities, but people with disabilities [too],” Bennett said. “Not just people in wheelchairs, but people that can’t see or have a hard time walking [also].”

Because Ball State is known for being a disability-friendly campus, Slaven said having a student program funded by tuition fees that is not accessible is “pathetic.”

“They need to realize that people in chairs, people who are visually impaired, we go to these events and they need to make it accessible for everybody for the good of everybody,” Slaven said.

The Alliance for Disability Awareness is working to bring awareness to the fact that there are limitations for students with disabilities who attend activities like Late Nite. Lauren Slaven, vice president of ADA, and graduate student Keiuma Bennett first had problems with getting to Late Nite because there was no transportation.

“That doesn’t mean [making] absolutely every single thing there accessible for all, but at least having something.”

However, Alicia Baker, assistant director for programs at Late Nite, said she has not had any complaints about Late Nite while she has been assistant director.

She said the group works closely with Disability Services, who will talk through specific events or activities to make sure they are accommodating.

“Accessibility is always considered when planning Late Nite. We consider the entire event and ensure we

have several options that will appeal to a wide variety of interests and will be accessible for students of all abilities,” Baker said. “Late Nite works hard to ensure that we have a wide range of activities for students of all interests and abilities. We try to balance our activities so that we can accommodate all students.”

Slaven said she talked to Tristan Chaput, a graduate assistant who works with Late Nite, about her problems. Chaput would not comment and directed all questions to Baker.

Slaven said her job in ADA

BY THE NUMBERS In 2010, 19 percent of the population had a disability, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

is to make sure they raise awareness about disabilities.

“I’m not saying you have to fix absolutely everything, but if it even crosses your mind to make sure that events are at least somewhat accessible for everybody, then we’ve done our job,” Slaven said. “We just want them to realize people with disabilities, we’re on this campus too, and we wanna do Late Nite too.”

About 6,000 people attended the rally for women’s rights in front of the Indiana Statehouse on Saturday to protest HB 1337. Those attending the rally felt the new abortion bill suppressed a woman’s right to do what she wants with her body.

one of these verbal spats while attending the rally.

“You don’t want to make the movement look bad because you have an emotional response to something that’s just ridiculous in the first place,” Reidenbach said.

Cole said she felt comfortable having an opposing viewpoint attend the rally.

“They absolutely have the right to say what they want to say, and they have the right to protest just like everyone else does.

And it doesn’t do any good when us pro-choice people scream and yell at them and try to silence them,” Cole said. “I don’t believe in

oppressing anyone, even if they have opposing views.”

The passing of HB 1337 has also sparked the Facebook page “Periods for Pence,” which encourages Indiana women to call Gov. Mike Pence and tell him about their periods.

According to the page, because a woman can expel a fertilized egg during menstruation, a period could technically be a miscarriage. The page has made headlines on NPR, Fox News, the New York Times, Vox, the Washington Post, the Huffington Post and Buzzfeed. ”I would certainly hate for any of my fellow Hoosier

women to be at risk of penalty if they do not ‘properly dispose’ of this or report it. Just to cover our bases, perhaps we should make sure to contact Governor Pence’s office to report our periods. We wouldn’t want him thinking that THOUSANDS OF HOOSIER WOMEN A DAY are trying to hide anything, would we?” a post on the page read.

Conner said she is a supporter of the page.

“It’s ... biting and sarcastic and it just makes you think, ‘God, women are so cool and so smart, and you really messed with the wrong people,’” Conner said.

During the rally, promi-

nent advocates of women’s rights spoke in front of the Statehouse. Behind the speakers were 97 women and men on the steps leading to the doors, each holding white signs with the name of a legislator who supported HB 1337. Two of these 97 people were Conner and Seitz.

At one point, the names were read off individually, prompting the crowd to chant, “They all must go.”

“I’m, like, a staunch feminist. So I really care about reproductive rights,” Conner said.

Seitz agreed.

“Get out of my uterus,” Seitz said.

The Ball State men’s volleyball team ended its regular season with losses to No. 13 Lewis and No. 12 Loyola. This caused the team to finish No. 3 in the upcoming Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association tournament, where it will host the quarterfinal matchup against McKendree.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL DROPS TO NO. 3 AFTER FALLING TO LEWIS, LOYOLA Ball State loses 2 players to injury in final weekend

|

ELIZABETH WYMAN VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @HEAVENS_2betsey

The No. 8 Ball State men’s volleyball team closed out the regular season over the weekend, losing both of its matches and finishing with the No. 3 spot in the upcoming Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association tournament.

Finishing third ensured Ball State will host its quarterfinal matchup against McKendree.

On Friday, No. 13 Lewis avenged an earlier defeat with a 25-22, 25-19, 2513 victory over Ball State.

The Cardinals returned

the following night to take on the No. 12 Loyola Ramblers and lost in four sets.

While Ball State tied with Loyola in wins and set victories, the Cardinals fell in total points, which led to the No. 3 seed.

“Things just did not go our way this weekend,” head coach Joel Walton said.

Ball State was hit with injuries over the weekend that affected the team’s performance.

During the match against Lewis, junior outside attacker Brendan Surane suffered a third-degree ankle sprain and would not return for the remainder of the weekend.

Surane was sidelined on crutches during the Loyola match.

He still led the Cardinals in kills with 10 against the Flyers despite his early exit.

MIVA TOURNAMENT SEEDING

*Lindenwood did not qualify for the tournament Walton said missing Surane was significant, and the team definitely felt his absence against Loyola.

“He’s been our most consistent offensive weapon, especially this last month of the season,” Walton said. “Even in our Lewis match, he was the one person that was generating offense. So losing him in the second set, all of a

sudden that game gets away from us.”

Even before Surane was injured, senior outside attacker Jack Lesure was hit in the face with a spike and suffered a mild concussion. He did not play in either match over the weekend.

Despite dealing with players missing time, the Cardinals kept the matches close. Four sets were decided by fewer than five points, and two points decided three of the four sets against Loyola.

“We very well could have potentially won the match in three sets with a few more kills or a few more points here or there,” Walton said. “Missing Surane was significant.”

Ball State will take on No. 6 seed McKendree Saturday at Worthen Arena.

Akin entered the series with a MAC-best 1.43 ERA, but Maloney said the Cardinals were ready to go after facing several teams’ top pitchers early in the season.

“We’ve played the Friday guy of [No. 15] LSU, [No. 14] Ole Miss [and No. 11] Oregon State,” Maloney said. “So we play guys that are nationally ranked, even higher than Akin. Quite frankly, we were prepared for that.”

The Cardinals finished the series with a doubleheader Sunday winning game one 21-1 and closing the series with a 13-3 victory. In the first half of the doubleheader, 11 different players recorded at least one hit, including all nine starters. Maloney said the players fed off of each other’s energy.

“Hitting is a contagious thing,” he said. “When you’ve got this many guys that are capable of hitting, it’s like one passing it on to the next one, and then the next one, and then the next one.”

On the mound, the Cardi-

MEN’S BASKETBALL

nals limited the Broncos to six runs (four earned) on 20 hits in the three games. Junior right-handed pitcher Zach Plesac (3-1, 3.71 ERA) earned the win Friday after giving up just two runs in eight innings, tying his career-high 11 strikeouts.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Brendan Burns (5-1, 2.58 ERA) also tied his career-high eight strikeouts in the series finale. Redshirt junior left-handed pitcher Kevin Marnon (4-3, 3.56 ERA) then turned in a scoreless seven-inning performance with five strikeouts and no walks in the first game Sunday.

Stayton said the strong performances on the mound helped take the pressure off of the bats.

“It’s night and day when the pitchers are doing what they do,” he said. “Even when you’re out in the field, you kind of have this confidence like nobody’s going to touch him — get back in there and go hit.”

Stayton and the Cardinals will get their next at bats at 6 p.m. Wednesday when they take on Indiana University (17-13, 4-2 Big Ten) in Bloomington.

DAVIS TO TRANSFER FOR 6TH SEASON

Jeremiah Davis’ basketball career in Muncie is over.

Davis, a Muncie native, played at Muncie Central and spent the last two seasons at Ball State. He’s been granted a sixth year of college eligibility, but has decided to end his career someplace else.

He said he’s not sure where he’ll play yet, but he was appreciative of the time he spent in Muncie.

“It was a great time. I got a lot accomplished,” he said. “But I’m looking to move on.”

Davis transferred from Cincinnati, starting 17 games in 2014-15.

But this year, the Cardinals got deeper. They got better. And Davis’ minutes took a big hit.

He averaged just 17.6 minutes per game this season and played in four of Ball State’s final 17 games.

Davis had some big plays, but he ultimately became part of the supporting cast for the 21-win Cardinals.

“We had a lot of really good times, and I’m just thankful for the opportunity that I had at Ball State,” Davis said. “I’ve been very pleased with my stay here.”
