MSU first traveled to UNI on Friday night to take on the Lady Panthers. The Lady Bears dropped their first matchup with UNI back on January 10 at JQH Arena, 65-60. The Lady Bears and Lady Panthers came into the game as part of a three way tie for first place.
The game between MSU and UNI was one of the best games to watch this season. It was a back-and-forth battle throughout, but things did not look good for the Lady Bears early. They found themselves down double digits in the first quarter and only scored seven first quarter points.
