Fifth-seeded Missouri State Lady Bears set to open NCAA Tournament vs. UC Davis

SAN ANTONIO — It may be a completely different experience than the Lady Bears' experience during their Sweet 16 run two years ago, but it's only making them enjoy the little things even more.

When not confined to their hotel rooms because of the NCAA's strict protocols, the joy of walking across the street outside and getting a breath of fresh air before practice can put a smile on their faces.

Practices, FaceTimes, Netflix and dinners while sitting in their doorways in the hallway on their hotel floor make the experience a lot different than walking the streets of Chicago without a piece of cloth covering their faces.
