The Lady Bears struggled to get in a rhythm on Saturday afternoon and they suffered their first loss at JQH Arena under second-year head coach Amaka Agugau Hamilton.
No. 20 Missouri State (4-2) struggled to get anything going from the field in a 60-52 loss to South Dakota State (5-2).
The loss snaps a 16-game home winning streak. The last time the Lady Bears lost at JQH Arena was in Kellie Harper's final home game on March 3, 2019, when they fell to No. 23 Drake 70-61.
Missouri State will now look to rebound in two-consecutive games at Northern Iowa starting on Jan.
