For most of Missouri State's win over Arkansas State, the Bears looked like the championship team they were predicted to be.
The defensive effort was there along with good ball movement on offense. Turnovers were kept to a minimum while the Bears played an entertaining brand of basketball en route to a 75-53 win over a decent Arkansas State.
It was, without a doubt, the Bears' best performance of the season.
"It just showed we're getting better each game," senior leader Keandre Cook said. "We're getting better each practice. We're just coming together more as a team and we're kinda figuring it out.
