Ball State graduate designs Final Four court

Muncie, In. — A Ball State Graduate is participating in the NCAA tournament buzz, but it’s not what you might think.

Connor O’Malia is a 2013 Graduate and a designer for Section 127, a full-service creative and marketing agency in Indianapolis and he designed the playing floor design for the 2019 Final Four games in Minneapolis.

Connor urges family and friends to tune in the games on April 7 & 8 to look at his art work on the national stage. “Sometimes I have to pinch myself,” he said. “Working at Section 127 is a dream job and being able to combine my hobby of design with my love of basketball is really special to me. This is right in my wheelhouse.”
