Less than perfect basketball started off the season for the Missouri State men’s team.
The Bears hosted Little Rock for their season — and home — opener on Tuesday night, and lost to the Trojans 67-66.
“We need to look ourselves in the mirror — especially as coaches — and put a better product out on the floor,” head coach Dana Ford said.
The game came down to the wire after Little Rock hit a jumper with four seconds on the clock after redshirt junior Josh Hall missed a 3-pointer from the corner.
The first part of the game foreshadowed what was to come in those final seconds.
