The Missouri State women’s basketball team faced the Southern Illinois Salukis at home and won its sixth straight game 66-51.
Before the game started, the Lady Bears warmed up in orange T-shirts with “We Back Pat” in bold white on the shirts to honor the late head coach Pat Summitt who coached the Lady Vols at Tennessee for 38 years and passed away due to Alzheimer's disease in 2016.
Head coach Kellie Harper used to play under Summitt in the late 1990s as a point guard.
“For me to be able to be a part of an initiative to support my coach is really special,” Harper said.
