New Missouri State head coach Dana Ford is 3-0 after his first week as the Bears' head basketball coach.
Although tougher games are coming up, we learned plenty about the style of basketball Ford is hoping to bring to Springfield.

Whether it's Obediah Church and Szymon Wojcik running down the court on a fast break or the Bears opening up the lane to isolate a quick Josh Webster one-on-one going from coast-to-coast, the offense has been a breath of fresh air at JQH Arena.
