Missouri State basketball bounces back from opening night defeat by beating Alabama State

This story will be updated

Missouri State (1-1) responded from a disappointing opening night loss with a 78-60 victory over Alabama State (0-3) on Saturday night at JQH Arena.

The Bears showed what you would have wanted to see from them following their 99-94 loss to Southeast Missouri State on Tuesday night. There was more communication defensively and an obvious emphasis on the effort on that end of the floor.

Dana Ford's team controlled the game from the opening tip while leading the entire night aside from the first 28 seconds when neither team scored.
