Missouri State at Illinois State

Missouri State lies firmly under the radar at 12-9 on the season. This team has gone toe-to-toe with some very good teams and has recently dropped 1 point decisions to both Creighton and Northern Iowa while also owning a win vs. Creighton and has bested Nevada as well. The Bears can play and also have a closer for a close game in Kyle Weems. Illinois State has found the going tough now that MVC play is taking hold and the Redbirds have dropped four of their last five games, all in conference play. While the softened conference schedule padded the win column it left them ill-preared for conference play and they are being exposed now. Play on Missouri State.
