The Missouri State Lady Bears never led the score once in its contest at Liberty University, falling decisively 60-52 in one of the team’s slowest performances of the season.
Though a fourth-quarter run took the deficit all the way from 19 points down to six, it was an effort that came too little and too late.
The Lady Bears made only three of their 12 attempted field goals in the first quarter and none of their 3-pointers. They fell further in the second with only 27.3% of their shots being made. Things improved in the second half, as the team held a 31.
