The Missouri State men’s basketball team ended its five-game losing streak in an explosive second half win over the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky, 84-78. What began as a slow-paced game turned out to be an intense contest.
Senior Obediah Church gave the Bears a very early 3-2 lead after sinking the first ever 3-pointer of his career.
Western Kentucky, expected to finish in the top four of the Conference USA, busted out a nine-point lead midway through the first half.
Neither team seemed to be able to fall into an offensive pattern with seven and eight turnovers for Missouri State and Western Kentucky, respectively.
