The best way to bounce back from a loss? Play Evansville.
Missouri State (14-4, 5-2) did just that in a wire-to-wire 82-35 win over the Purple Aces (7-11, 1-6) on Thursday night in southern Indiana.
The win follows the Lady Bears' 52-51 loss to Illinois State on Saturday. They started Thursday in fourth place in the Missouri Valley Conference and will travel to play third-place Indiana State (9-7, 4-1) on Saturday at noon.
Against Evansville, it was clear the Purple Aces wouldn't be a match for the Lady Bears during the early minutes.
