Ball State at Massachusetts

UMass has not had much basketball success, except when John Calipari Coached here. UMass is doing ok this season as they will take on Ball St. at home. The Minutemen are 9-7. Ball St. isn't going to bring out the Minutemen's "A" game, more like a weak effort. UMass is coming off three straight losses and has also lost four out of five. UMass has decided they don't need to play defense. In their last three games, all losses, opponents averaged 95.7 ppg. That is a lot of points, especially when we are talking about a double-digit line here. I like Ball St.
