I thought that bear in the middle of the court was brutal! And Michigan State has a Spartan head that is as big, but at least green....it was difficult to watch it.

What were the MSU fans on Connor about?

What my wife and thought was distracting was the band of lights around the upper deck. It would change from bright white to dark blue. I don't know how it did not distract the shooters.

I apologize if this was posted in the pregame thread (I didn't see it), but an interesting article from their student paper prior to the game.

Missouri State’s rivalry with Wichita State consists of jealousy and ‘Wichita is not a State’ T-shirts.

Even senior point guard Dequon Miller doesn't completely get why it's a rivalry, but he thinks that getting to where Wichita State is, is what it's all about.


"I think the media is part of it," Miller said of the 'rivalry' before the season. "I think we're trying to do something they've been doing. We haven't won a conference championship for a long time.

80-62, 87-68. 14 in a row.

Good effort though.

Try again next year. Shocks losing the team leaders in J.R. Simon and Zach Bush. Should be much easier.

First come, first served basis.

Oh, I get it. He's not talking about another team taking over the league. He's talking about another coach taking over WSU and not be any good. That makes more sense.

At least the whole "Missouri State’s rivalry with Wichita State consists of jealousy and ‘Wichita is not a State’ T-shirts" part is very true. So they have that going for them, which is nice.
