The Lady Bears are dancing their way back to the NCAA Tournament.
Fifth-seeded Missouri State will play 12th-seeded UC Davis in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Monday at 6:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
An NCAA Tournament berth is the program's first under head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton — who is in her second year. The Lady Bears were a lock to qualify for the tournament in 2020 but it was canceled due to the pandemic.
The Lady Bears received an at large bid following their decision to drop out of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
