Missouri State's first game home after a lengthy hiatus has the Bears back in the win column.
The Bears (4-5) earned an ugly 71-69 victory over Murray State in a non-conference matchup on Tuesday night at JQH Arena.
Senior Keandre Cook scored seven points in the last 1:33 of the game — including a deep stepback 3-pointer to help the Bears secure the victory
MSU lost four of its last five entering the game — a result of perhaps the Bears' most difficult stretch of the season. The Bears will stay at home for a Friday night game against Mississippi Valley State.
