Missouri State beat the last-place team in the Missouri Valley Conference, but it didn't come without some second-half drama.
The Bears (16-7, 7-3) defeated Evansville (5-15, 1-8) 72-58 on Saturday night at JQH Arena. The bounceback win is in response to the Bears' 76-72 loss to Indiana State on Tuesday.
Gaige Prim took over for the Bears in the second half as he finished the game with 23 points and five rebounds. Seventeen of his points came in the final 20 minutes. It was his first 20-plus-point performance since Dec.
