No one who knows is talking about what the Jackie Stiles statue on the south side of JQH Arena looks like.
It’s been in place for weeks, covered by a tarp and a white tent, and will be unveiled in a Sunday ceremony.
The statue likely has the best player in Lady Bears history in mid-jump shot. She made 1,160 field goals in her Missouri State career, from 1997-2001, ending as the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer (3,393 points).
If it’s going to be accurate, maybe the statue should feature a blushing Stiles.
That’s what she expects to happen whenever she walks or drives by.
