This story will be update

After a snoozer of a first half, Missouri State woke up in the second to come away with its third-straight victory.

The Bears (12-5, 10-5) earned a 65-53 victory over Southern Illinois (9-4, 3-8) on Wednesday night at JQH Arena. With the two teams being labeled "travel partners" by the Missouri Valley Conference, the two teams will meet in Carbondale, Illinois, next week instead of playing back-to-back nights.

Missouri State closes out its JQH Arena season with a pair of home games this weekend. The Bears host Bradley on Saturday at 5 p.
