Bears squander opportunities in loss to Illinois State

The Bears had their opportunities.

Sophomore forward Obediah Church had a pair of free throws, which would have given the Bears a lead if he sunk them both with 11.9 seconds left.

He missed them both.

Illinois State junior guard D.J. Clayton missed his first of a one-and-one at the free throw line.

Church got the rebound, passed it up to junior forward Jarrid Rhodes, who passed it to a wide-open Dequon Miller.

He missed the game winner.
