Missouri State basketball will begin its final Missouri Valley Conference slate with an early-December matchup against Indiana State at Great Southern Bank Arena.
The Bears (5-3, 0-0 MVC) will join Conference USA in 2025. The Sycamores (5-4, 0-0 MVC) enter the 7 p.m. game on a two-game winning streak, beating Iona and Tarleton State at last week’s Baha Mar Hoops multi-team event.
The Bears bounced back on Sunday at Oral Roberts from their first two-game skid after dropping their final two games at the Cayman Islands Classic, with losses to Boston College and South Dakota State. The Bears rallied in the second half to beat the Golden Eagles 72-67 behind Dez White’s 18 points.
Bears coach Cuonzo Martin’s team will only play one early Valley game when others in the league will play two. Their second MVC contest is on Dec. 29 in Evansville.
