What to Know
The Missouri State Bears will square off against the Middle Tenn. Blue Raiders at 3 p.m. ET Saturday at Great Southern Bank Arena. MSU is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.
The Bears lost 66-64 to the Brigham Young Cougars on Wednesday on a last-minute half-court bomb from BYU's guard Dallin Hall with 0:01 left to play. Chance Moore put forth a good effort for the losing side as he posted a double-double on 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Middle Tenn. simply couldn't be stopped on Tuesday, as they easily beat the Rice Owls at home 81-46.
Middle Tenn.'s victory lifted them to 2-1 while Missouri State's loss dropped them down to 1-1. We'll see if Middle Tenn. can repeat their recent success or if MSU bounces back and reverse their fortune.
