MSU hoops notebook: Newcomers Lamont West, Tyrik Dixon show promise in morning scrimmage

A highly anticipated Missouri State basketball season kind of began Saturday morning when fans were able to watch men's and women's scrimmages at the Hammons Student Center.

Second-year MSU head coach Dana Ford's men's basketball team is the favorite to win the Missouri Valley Conference. A few newcomers put on a show for the MSU faithful in attendance.

New Lady Bears head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton made her first coaching appearance in front of fans. She felt like her team had some nerves during the game.

Both teams have exhibition games at JQH Arena this upcoming week before the regular season tips off on Nov.
