Walton and Brachen Hazen added 15 points, each.  Hazen lead the Cards with nine boards, while Teague grabbed seven rebounds.  Trey Moses swatted away four shots to reach the 100-blocked-shots career mark.

Next up, Ball State travels to West Lafayette for an 8 p.m. Saturday match up with Purdue, on the Big Ten Network.
