Jackie Stiles was as in the dark as anybody until Sunday afternoon.
She knew a statue was going to be unveiled on the south side of JQH Arena, paying tribute to her incredible playing career for the Missouri State women’s basketball team.

It ended up being Stiles, in an SMS jersey, driving with the ball and her trademark ponytail splayed behind her.
