The Lady Bears left no doubt about who reigns supreme in the Show-Me state.
No. 18-ranked Missouri State took the floor before 5,091 fans – the sixth-largest crowd to see the Lady Bears at JQH Arena – donning white warm-ups with “This Is Our State” emblazoned across the chest.
Nobody who witnessed the Lady Bears’ 79-72 victory over Mizzou could argue with that.
Missouri State (9-1) went on a 19-5 run over six crucial minutes in the third quarter to wrestle control from the Tigers and secure their 30th win in the last 36 games at JQH Arena.
