James Madison at Ball State

The Ball State Cardinals have a 3-4 record entering their home game vs. James Madison. The Cardinals have had success knocking down some three-point shots, but overall they have shot the ball poorly at less than 43% on the season. They are 3-0 at home with a win over a non-Division-1 opponent, Grambling State, and an Indiana State team that has dropped five straight vs. Division-1 opponents are far from impressive. As a result, their three-point shooting numbers have been elevated by the weak competition. James Madison is off to a 6-3 start on the season, and two of the three losses have come at the expense of top teams in Ohio State and Virginia. Overall the Dukes have been a lot more impressive to start the season, and the Cards are just 8-21 ATS at home in their last 29 vs. a team with a losing road record. The better team is getting the points here, so play on James Madison.
