Every once in a while, the Lady Bears have a night where they just look like they want to come out and dominate even before the opening tip.
Friday night was one of those nights.
The No. 21 nationally-ranked Lady Bears (17-3, 7-1) are back into a tie for first place atop the Missouri Valley Conference after defeating Bradley (16-3, 7-1) with a 90-56 victory at JQH Arena.
Missouri State will conclude the first half of Valley play when it hosts Illinois State on Sunday afternoon before a critical road trip to play the Iowa MVC programs next weekend.
