The 2019-20 season was supposed to be a special one for both Missouri State basketball programs, but it appears one is headed for big things while the other is inconsistent.
Missouri State's men's basketball team is 10-11 overall and 4-4 in Missouri Valley Conference play under second-year head coach Dana Ford, and it's fair to wonder if the Bears are headed toward repeating a low they committed just two years ago.
Meanwhile, the Lady Bears look to be NCAA Tournament-bound under first-year head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton. Right now, the question isn't whether the Lady Bears will make the big dance, it's how high they're going to be ranked when they get there.
