Missouri State might want to skip heading to the pool or taking a walk by the ocean to practice free throws after a 68-54 loss to North Carolina Wilmington on Friday afternoon in the first round of the Baha Mar Hoops Nassau Championship in The Bahamas.
In what was once seen as a winnable tournament for the Bears, they are instead headed to Saturday's consolation semifinal where it will play Ball State at noon. The Cardinals lost 78-73 to Vermont before the Bears and UNCW played.
The Bears (2-2) finished the game a poor 18-of-33 from the free throw line.
