Bears don't back down in challenge from ORU

Jim Connell/News-Leader

Early in the second half on Wednesday night, Missouri State was sleepwalking through a men’s basketball game against Oral Roberts.

The Golden Eagles came in with a 2-8 record, both wins against non-Division I teams.

Then with the Bears leading 57-49 and on a 7-0 run, there was a little dustup under the Missouri State basket.

ORU’s Chris Miller fouled Jordan Martin, then gave him a two-handed shove after the whistle. That brought both teams together in the lane, and Missouri State’s Ronnie Rousseau III took great offense.
