BEAT THE LADY BEARS

 

[Red Don]

We will have to be Ready for this Game.

Missouri State is well-coached and has won a lot of games.

Scouting The Missouri State Lady Bears
Missouri State comes to Lincoln for the opening round of the Postseason WNIT after finishing fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season standings. The Lady Bears went 14-6 in the Valley on their way to a 20-11 overall mark. They fell 73-70 to MVC Champion Drake in the conference tournament quarterfinals in Moline, Ill., on Friday.

Coach Beth Cunningham is in her first season leading the tradition-rich Lady Bear program. She spent the past two seasons as an assistant at Duke under Kara Lawson after spending eight seasons as an associate head coach at Notre Dame under Muffet McGraw. Cunningham (Morgan) was an honorable-mention All-American and two-time team captain at Notre Dame (1993-97), helping the Fighting Irish to the Final Four as a senior in 1997.

As a team, Missouri State is averaging 68.2 points per game while shooting 40.7 percent from the field on the season. The Lady Bears have struggled from three-point range, connecting on just 29.2 percent (129-442) of their attempts from beyond the arc. They also have hit just 64.8 percent of their free throws.

Missouri State was a dominant rebounding team in the Valley this season, carrying a plus-8.8 rebound margin (41.3-32.5), collecting 228 more offensive rebounds than its opponents. The Lady Bears held opposing teams to 65.8 points per game on 42.2 percent shooting, including 30.9 percent from beyond the arc.
