One of the progressions in becoming a good basketball team is to take care of the games you’re supposed to take care of.
Missouri State did that on Saturday afternoon, leading from start to finish in a 76-62 victory over Bradley before an announced crowd of 4,854 at JQH Arena.
The heroes were plentiful and the numbers impressive from Missouri State’s perspective.
Dequon Miller was a steadying force throughout, with 24 points, four assists and three rebounds in 37 minutes; Chris Kendrix came off the bench for 17 points, five rebounds and four steals; and Alize Johnson was … well, Alize Johnson.
