Ball State Cardinals men's basketball has energized Muncie, Indiana since 1920, building a proud MAC contender with multiple regular-season and tournament crowns. The program's national profile soared in 1990, when Chandler Thompson, Paris McCurdy and company surged to the Sweet Sixteen and pushed eventual champion UNLV to the brink. A decade later, the Cardinals shocked the 2001 Maui Invitational by beating top-five Kansas and UCLA on consecutive days, a reminder of their giant-killing pedigree. Worthen Arena amplifies it all, with 11,500 fans, a rowdy student section and the signature Chirp! Chirp! echoing through tight MAC rivalry nights against Miami and Western Michigan. NBA alumnus Bonzi Wells remains an icon, inspiring the next wave. Ready to join the noise? Buy tickets from Vivid Seats to experience it live!
