Sources: The Journal Gazette, Ball State Daily News

If you missed Monday night's opener, Ball State women's basketball beat Arkansas State 84-74. Grace Kingery had a career-high 33 points, though The Star Press said freshman Lilli Barnes stole the show. Barnes finished with 18 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists, plus 10 turnovers.

It started messy. The Ball State Daily News counted 27 first-half turnovers, as Arkansas State used a full-court press from the opening tip. Kingery went 0-for-4 from three in the first half, then hit several big shots to stretch the lead in the third quarter.

The Wrap

Picture a museum where kids sit down and make something right beside the art. At Kids Make Art at the David Owsley Museum of Art, six craft stations on the second floor each sat next to the artwork that inspired it. Families got free activities and tours, and staff and volunteers helped finish every project. Small artists, big gallery.
