Lady Bears Squashed by Creighton

Tonight’s game was extremely hard to watch, but I have faith the Lady Bears will bounce back. Despite the sloppy play, halftime’s dog frisbee show stole the night in my opinion!

Lady Bears Dropped by Creighton in MVC Semifinal

The Missouri State Lady Bears held a comfortable early lead before a series of dry spells that helped Creighton’s rally in the second half as they lost 56-47 this afternoon during the MVC Tournament semifinal round at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo.

The game included MSU season lows in points (47), shooting percentage (.299) and three-pointers (0).

Creighton’s Carli Tritz proved to be the game changer as she scored 27 of her career-high 29 points in the second half. Casey Garrison led MSU with 18 points and was the only player in double digits.

MSU now waits for NCAA and WNIT selections which will be announced Monday, March 12.

No. 19 Creighton Slips By Bears

It was a game of cat and mouse between MVC rivals Missouri State and No. 19 Creighton tonight at JQH Arena.

The Bears, who led at intermission, had a chance to capitalize but an off-balance Kyle Weems shot with 6.4 seconds left bounced off the rim into Creighton’s hands.

Creighton’s McDermott caught the rebound, but missed a one-and-one, giving the Bears one last chance to win.  However, MSU’s Downing missed a pull-up jumper from the free-throw line to give Creighton the 66-65 win.

This is the Bears’ third loss in a row, putting them in a three-way tie for fourth place in the MVC standings.
