Missouri State basketball embarrassed in blowout loss to Loyola

This story will be updated

When Missouri State entered a four-game stretch against two of the Missouri Valley Conference's elite, we knew we were going to learn plenty about the Bears.

Through the first three games, we've learned the Bears have no business being in any championship conversation.

Missouri State (9-4, 5-4) was demolished in a 72-46 loss to Loyola-Chicago (14-3, 4-1) Sunday afternoon at JQH Arena on national television. The two are scheduled to play again Monday at 7 p.m.

Some fans picked up their coats in frustration and left at halftime after witnessing an abysmal first 20 minutes to the game.
