Less than 48 hours after a thrilling, buzzer-beating victory over Valley nemesis Drake that landed Sydney Manning and company on ESPN Sportcenter’s Top 10 Plays, Missouri State dominated nearly all phases of the game against Northern Iowa and beat the Panthers, 80-66, on Sunday afternoon at JQH Arena.
Coach Mox knew her players hardly slept Friday night, and she adjusted the off-day schedule to avoid a “drop-off” against the Panthers.
The Lady Bears committed just one turnover in the first half on Sunday and trailed for less than two minutes of game clock.
