CHICAGO — The Missouri State Lady Bears’ Cinderella run ended in the Sweet 16 after a 55-46 loss to the Stanford Cardinal.
“We’re disappointed that we don’t get to keep on playing and the journey doesn’t get to continue with this group,” head coach Kellie Harper said. “It’s been an exciting run. It’s been a lot of fun.
“I’m really proud of our players going out and competing and giving it their all and not backing down. It’s been an exciting time; I’m really proud of this team.”
It was clear from the beginning that Stanford was the dominant team.
