SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The Illinois State women's basketball team was outscored in every quarter and missed its final nine shots Thursday at Great Southern Bank Arena.

That combination led to a 72-47 ISU loss to Missouri State in Missouri Valley Conference action.

The Redbirds (19-11 overall) dropped into fifth place in the MVC standings with one regular season game remaining. ISU plays at Southern Illinois on Saturday.

Missouri State (23-7, 15-4 MVC) is tied for first with Murray State.

The Redbirds trailed the Bears 38-30 at halftime as Missouri State canned 6 of 8 from 3-point range.
