2009-10 Season Outlook
Bears Return Six and Welcome Seven Newcomers for Year Two of Martin Era If Missouri State learned anything from head coach Cuonzo Martin’s first year at the helm in 2008-09, it is the 38-year-old coach’s desire for his team to compete with ferocity and intensity on both ends of the floor for 40 minutes. Even though four seniors are gone from that ground-building group of a year ago, the returning nucleus looks poised to make some dramatic improvements, while Martin’s cast of seven newcomers brings impressive credentials to the table, making the incoming class perhaps one of the most-anticipated in school history. “I look for us always to compete and play hard,” said Martin. “I want this team to play at a higher level and understand what’s expected of them on both ends of the floor.” Martin says his six returning lettermen and two Division I transfers who practiced with the team while in residence a year ago know what to expect. He says the key to improving on last year’s 11-20 campaign and moving up the ladder in the ever-competitive Missouri Valley Conference is execution. “To be better, we have to execute,” said Martin. “We have to work to be almost flawless on the offensive end, but we have to be able to execute our assignments on both ends of the floor. From start to finish, our players will always be competing at a high level.”
Familiar Faces Leading the cast of six returnees is sophomore Kyle Weems (6-6, 230, F, Topeka, Kan.) who was second on the team in points (316) and rebounds (152) last season, while earning a spot on the MVC AllFreshman Team. He started 19 games for the Bears in 2008-09 and finished third among Valley freshmen in scoring and second in rebounding among his league classmates. His role this season will be to score inside and outside, primarily from the power forward spot. At point guard, Justin Fuehrmeyer (6-1, 175, Sr., St. Charles, Mo.) is sixth among all active MVC players in playing experience with 1,867 career minutes and is the league’s active leader in assists (231). He has earned the starting call 49 times over the last two seasons and is the only senior on this year’s squad, making his leadership, experience and court knowledge a valuable asset this winter for the Bears. The third returning starter is Cardell McFarland (6-0, 170, So., Evansville, Ind.) who showed signs of excellence as a true freshman last season. He earned 19 starts in his rookie campaign and scored 199

points, which ranked fifth on the team, while his .768 free throw percentage makes him the ninth-best active charity shooter in The Valley. He can play either guard spot, which makes him valuable in any offensive set and has a great instinct for getting to the rim. Ryan Jehle (6-5, 235, Jr., F, Overland Park, Kan.) is a two-time letterman who begins his fourth season at MSU. A solid defender with the ability to score in spurts, Jehle started nine games during his sophomore season. However, he was equally valuable off the bench with his skills at several places on the floor and his ability to make stops. He made 47-percent of his shots a year ago and nearly 50-percent in league play, further demonstrating his ability to make good decisions on both ends. Fellow junior Will Creekmore (6-9, 260, Jr., F/C, Tulsa, Okla.) found his way into Missouri State’s starting five on seven occasions last season after becoming eligible in late December. The Boston University transfer made an immediate impact, averaging 8.2 points and 5.7 rebounds in league play while making 40-percent of his three-pointers against Valley squads. The MVC All-Newcomer Team member was third on the squad overall in rebounds, and his efforts on the low blocks will help define the team early. Also returning is fellow big man Isaiah Rhine (6-10, 240, So., Versailles, Mo.) who played just 10.4 minutes per game as a true freshman, but managed four starts. Rhine is a tenacious rebounder and is rapidly evolving into a contender for more playing time this season with his ability to knock down short and mid-range jumpers. Other familiar faces back in Martin’s camp this winter are Adam Leonard (6-1, 195, Jr., Lee’s Summit, Mo.) and Caleb Patterson (6-11, 240, So., Ames, Okla.). Leonard is a scoring guard who transferred to Missouri State from Eastern Kentucky a year ago. After sitting out the 2008-09 season and practicing with the Bears, Leonard looks to return to the same winning form that earned him Ohio Valley Conference Co-Freshman of the Year honors in 2006-07 after connecting on 104 three-pointers and leading the Colonels to the NCAA Tournament. He has started all 62 games of his college career and posted double figures in scoring 44 times. Patterson is a solid presence on the inside and could have an immediate impact on the Bears’ post play. He got into 11 games as a true freshman at Colorado in 2007-08 before coming to Springfield last season. His year of experience learning the Martin system on the Bears’ practice squad should prove invaluable as his range, rebounding abilities and size make him a valuable weapon.
Fast Forwards With Weems anchoring a solid group of forwards, the Bears seem to have a nice blend of veterans and impact newcomers at the three and four positions. Weems is The Valley’s active free throw percentage leader (.818) and is a talented rebounder who plays with unbridled enthusiasm. He emerged as one of the team’s vocal and physical leaders during his freshman campaign and will be counted on to

2009-10 Season Outlook continue his leadership role again this winter. He has added 10 pounds to his 6-foot-6 frame in the off-season and will be the team’s preseason favorite to hold down the starting power forward spot. Weems is also a proven scorer and shooter, collecting double figures in points 18 times in 2008-09. He is the 14th-best returning scorer in the league and ranks eighth on the list of returning MVC rebounders. Likewise, he has the ability to get to the ball and find teammates, accounting for a team-high 24 blocked shots, dishing out 40 assists, and claiming a team-best 30 steals a year ago. Jehle scored just under five points a game as a sophomore, but his role on the 2009-10 squad will primarily include defending, rebounding and using his solid frame to help the team win the battle inside. He stepped up with 12 three-pointers last season and seems comfortable shooting from long or short range. At one point last season, Jehle hit a three-pointer in eight consecutive games, giving evidence of his versatility and ability to contribute in various roles. Headlining the cast of newcomers is Jerome Jones (6-5, 205, Fr., F, St. Louis, Mo.) who can play on the perimeter or on the wing. He averaged 19.0 points per game for his high school career, including 24.0 points per game as a senior at Miller Career Academy in St. Louis where he helped the Phoenix to their first-ever trip to the Missouri final four. He is a scorer who can leap and defend well. Newcomer Jermaine Mallett (6-3, 215, Jr., Jackson, Miss.) is a slashing type of player who can finish around the basket and rebound well. He was Regional Player of the Year in the 18-team Alabama Community College Conference last season at Marion (Ala.) Military Institute after averaging just under 23 points per game and collecting 9.5 boards. He can play the three or four spot as well as the two guard. Another solid catch in this year’s recruiting class is Michael Porter (6-6, 225, Fr., F, Sikeston, Mo.), a four-time all-state prep performer who works hard on both ends of the floor. Porter’s high school numbers are both astounding and consistent, as he collected 926 career rebounds, 1,994 points, 291 blocks, 249 steals and 312 assists at Sikeston High where he was named SEMO Conference MVP twice. His athleticism, defensive skill set, and natural abilities will undoubtedly earn him favor in the Martin system, particularly as a viable option on the wing. Keith Pickens (6-4, 190, Fr., St. Louis, Mo.) is flexible enough to play either the off-guard or small forward position. He is such a remarkable leaper, rebounder, and shot blocker, it’s easy to see why his natural position is small forward. The first-team St. Louis All-Metro standout scored 15.2 points per game at Class 5 Oakville High School last year, grabbed 9.3 boards and swatted 114 shots. His ability to get to the rim makes him a threat on both ends of the floor, and if he takes his game to the Division I level and can lock down opposing ball handlers, count on Pickens becoming a JQH Arena fan favorite early. Creekmore’s natural position is at the five spot, but he proved his skills at the power forward spot last season with his shooting range and rebounding skills. Look for him to run the baseline on occasion and flash through the paint for his patented hook shot.

Guards of Distinction With two of the Bears’ three returning starters -- Fuehrmeyer and McFarland -- playing at the guard positions, the addition of newcomers like Leonard and Nafis Ricks (6-1, 195, Jr., G, Philadelphia, Pa.) give Martin an abundance of talent in the backcourt this winter. Fuehrmeyer is fourth among active MVC players in steals and tops in assists, but his most essential contributions to the 2009-10 squad will undoubtedly be his court knowledge and leadership. The fifth-year point guard connected on 40 three-pointers and scored 7.2 points per game as a sophomore two seasons ago while leading the league in assist-to-turnover ratio. Even though his offensive numbers slumped a year ago, he has added size and quickness over the summer and will set the bar high for his senior season if anyone is to overtake him for the starting point guard spot. Consistency has been an area McFarland has worked on since his freshman campaign. Last season he scored in double figures 10 times, but was held to two points or less on eight occasions. He impressed Martin enough to start 12 of the squad’s first 13 games a year ago, and his 18 three-pointers was fourth on the team and second behind Weems among the team’s returnees. McFarland’s versatility and quickness give him significant upside, and if he can assert himself more frequently during his second go-round, Bears fans will see why he was one of Indiana’s top 20 seniors two years ago. Ricks is arguably one of the top recruits ever landed by the Bears. He was recognized by both the NABC and NJCAA as the nation’s top junior college player in all divisions last season at Johnson County (Kan.) Community College. He is a combo guard who distributed more than 300 assists in two seasons at the juco level while averaging 16.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 66 games at JCC. His learning curve at the Division I level is yet to be determined, but his ability to find shooters and create on the offensive end is well documented, and he is a proven winner after helping JCC to a national championship in 2008-09. Leonard is a player Bears fans have been clamoring about since news of his arrival spread like wildfire in the summer of 2008. A shooter in every sense of the word, he finished 18th in the nation in three-point field goals as a freshman at Eastern Kentucky in 2006-07 by making 104 treys in 33 games. His abilities also go beyond scoring as he accounted for 177 assists in his two seasons at EKU, while shooting 83 percent from the free throw line. Since he had to sit out the 2008-09 season in residence, Leonard has not played a college game since March 4, 2008, but if he returns to his previous form, his debut in maroon and white will be worth the wait for the Missouri State faithful. Pickens is a combo player with the quickness and physical presence to shut down opposing ball handlers as well as traditional wing players. His leaping skills make it difficult for opposing shooters to get an open look, and his natural abilities should help him progress quickly.

2009-10 Season Outlook Center Court All three of the Bears’ big men were around a year ago, and even though Patterson was restricted to a practice squad role while he sat out his mandatory year in residence, valuable experience was gained by all of the team’s inside players last season. Few players in MSU history have burst onto the scene at mid-year as effectively as Creekmore did a year ago. After completing his year in residence during the fall semester, the Tulsa, Okla., native made up for lost time with a double-double in his first MSU start in the league opener against Illinois State. He made a valiant run at league Newcomer of the Week honors the first week of January as he dropped 30 points and 16 rebounds on Bradley and Evansville, and his abilities were rewarded at the end of the season when the MVC named him to its All-Newcomer squad. Going into his junior season, his 8.2 pointper-game scoring average in league play a year ago is significant, and will make him a contender for a starting job. Patterson is also going to push for the starting center job this winter. At just under seven feet, the sophomore post has an uncanny ability to shoot the long-range jumper and find open teammates. He also finishes well around the basket and can shoot free throws, making him a rare four-tool inside man. He showed signs of excellence as a freshman at Colorado, earning one start for the Buffaloes and posting seven points and five rebounds in just his third collegiate game. Like Leonard, he will have to adjust to game speed for the first time in over 18 months, but his credentials and skills will turn heads in The Valley if he can live up to his billing. Also in the mix is Rhine. The sophomore sensation had the first-ever dunk at JQH Arena and showed glimpses of his abilities throughout the year. He made several memorable runs as a true freshman in 2008-09. He snagged seven rebounds in just 14 minutes off the bench at league champion Northern Iowa, then grabbed six boards at Illinois State two games later. He gained confidence as the season progressed and has added some bulk to his 6-foot-10 frame in the off-season which will serve him well on both ends of the floor. Also improved is his mid-range jumper and his post moves, which make him a great option as a regular or reserve this season. A Sketch of the Schedule The 2009-10 slate includes 19 home games at JQH Arena, including a pair of preseason exhibition contests in early November. The team then opens the regular season schedule with five straight home games at its 11,000-seat home facility. The season opener will be on Monday, November 16 against Auburn, followed by three additional home games in the Hispanic College Fund Challenge, November 20-22, and a home date with Tulsa on November 28. The home tourney features Maryland-Eastern Shore, The Citadel and Eastern Michigan in a three-day, round-robin format. Following the five home games to start the season, the Bears travel

to Arkansas-Little Rock on December 2, and then return to JQH Arena on December 5 to play Air Force in the inaugural Mountain WestMissouri Valley Challenge Series. The Bears continue the home stand on December 9 when they host UT Martin in the return game from last season’s BracketBusters. The team’s longest road swing of the season takes place in the middle of December as coach Martin takes his troops to Arkansas State on December 12, before renewing the school’s rivalry with St. Louis University on December 19 and closing out the three-game tilt at Arkansas on December 22. “It’s a great schedule, and we certainly look forward to playing some excellent competition,” said Martin. “As a player, this is the type of schedule you want to play: with teams like Auburn and Arkansas from the SEC, a tough home tournament that will push us for three straight days, some quality home games for our fans, and some good tests on the road. This is the type of schedule, with postseason-caliber opponents, to get a team ready for the conference season, and we’re very happy with it.” Including Missouri Valley Conference foes, the Bears’ 2009-10 slate features 11 teams that appeared in one of the four postseason basketball events last season. Northern Iowa is the only NCAA Tournament team on the schedule, while five opponents played in the National Invitation Tournament, including quarterfinalist Auburn, second-round advancers Tulsa and Creighton, as well as UT Martin and Illinois State. Making the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament were Evansville, Drake, The Citadel and Bradley, while Wichita State played in the College Basketball Invitational. Missouri State opens its 18-game league ledger on Tuesday, Dec. 29 at Evansville before returning home on New Year’s Day to play Illinois State. The Bears then take to the road on Jan. 3 to take on defending MVC champions Northern Iowa before returning to JQH Arena for a two-game league stand against Wichita State (Jan. 6), and Bradley (Jan. 9). MSU then plays three of its next four games on the road with travel dates to Drake (Jan. 12) and Bradley (Jan. 16), a home affair with Indiana State (Jan. 19) on MVC television, and nationally-televised game on ESPNU at Creighton on Jan. 24.

JQH Arena W
ith a $30 million gift from Missouri State alumnus and Springfield, Mo.-based hotel developer John Q Hammons, the long-time dream of a new home for the Missouri State Bears and Lady Bears and an iconic tribute to MSU intercollegiate athletics has become a reality. JQH Arena features a seating capacity of 11,000 - including 50 courtside seats - the Grand Entrance, 24 suites, PRIME Overtime Club and other amenities. The design also includes shell space for home locker rooms, offices and a training room, which can be completed at a later date. For now, the current Hammons Student Center facilities will be used for these functions, with a connecting corridor to JQH Arena. JQH Arena will have a profound impact on the Bears’ and Lady Bears’ recruiting efforts, putting the MSU basketball facilities on par with the top Division I schools in the country. The new arena will be a premier basketball facility that will give Missouri State an overwhelming homecourt advantage and make the Bears’ and Lady Bears’ games the place to be in Springfield.

PRIME Overtime Club The 4,500-square-foot club, located at the east end of the arena, will have an elevated view of the court and access to private loge seating from the club itself. Flat-screen televisions will surround the room to provide optimal sound and instantreplay coverage, making PRIME Overtime the place to be for pre-game activities and the postgame radio shows. Other features include the sale of refreshments and food, as well as space for a pre-game buffet meal.
Suites and Loge Seating Just 18 rows above the floor with seating for 16 spectators, each of JQH’s 24 private suites have been reserved. Loge seating, sometimes called a super suite, is located at the east end of JQH Arena, just below the Prime Overtime Club. These seats provide optimal vantage points for concerts and afford all the amenities of a suite without the walls. Padded leather chairs and a buffet countertop are all part of the loge experience.
Courtside Seats Located along the main arena’s north sideline, JQH’s 50 courtside seats will put the spectator right in the middle of the action on the court.
MSU Hall of Fame and Legacy of Competition Located on the Price Cutter Concourse, the Missouri State University Athletics Hall of Fame and Legacy of Competition will honor teams and student-athletes whose contributions to MSU have helped distinguish the University’s athletics program as one of the best in the nation.
Grand Entrance On the southeast corner of the arena near the corner of John Q. Hammons Parkway and Monroe Street, the Grand Entrance to JQH will be the site of an enlarged ticket office, guest services office, and the team souvenir store.
Bear Wear Team Store Operated by the MSU Bookstore, the official team store of the Bears and Lady Bears is located on the Price Cutter Concourse, just inside the Grand Entrance. Hours of operation are posted at the entrance.

Head Coach C
uonzo (CON-zoe) Martin begins his second season as head coach of the Bears after a promising 2008-09 campaign. He became the 16th head coach in the history of Missouri State, the 27th winningest NCAA Division I program in America, on April 1, 2008 after an eight-year stint as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Purdue University. He inherited the program in its 100th anniversary season in the $67 million, 11,000-seat JQH Arena. Missouri State was 11-20 in Martin’s first season, posting a 9-8 home mark that included wins over Arkansas and Drake, as well as milestone road wins at Central Michigan and Tennessee-Martin. The Bears ranked among the nation’s top 20 most-improved programs in home attendance and finished 75th nationally in per-game attendance average. MSU also boasted two academic all-conference performers, in addition to three other individual MVC award winners. Martin, a native of East St. Louis, Ill., was a star player at Purdue from 1991-95 for Coach Gene Keady and then played four years professionally. He has coached at Purdue under Keady and, most recently, Matt Painter. In 2007-08, Martin completed his eighth year on the Purdue coaching staff, having been promoted from assistant coach to associate head coach in September of 2007. After a four-year professional career, Martin completed his bachelor’s degree in restaurant, hotel, institutional and tourism management at Purdue in the summer of 2000. Martin, who graduated from Lincoln High in East St. Louis, Ill., and attended New Hampton Prep School in New Hampshire, came to Purdue in 1991. He finished four years later as one of the finest Boilermaker players ever. He currently ranks 11th on Purdue’s all-time scoring list with 1,666 points, good enough for a 13.1 average in his 127 games played. Martin played professional basketball for four years, with brief NBA appearances with the Milwaukee Bucks (twice) and Vancouver Grizzlies. Martin was born September 23, 1971. He and his wife Roberta have two sons, Joshua and Chase, and a daughter, Addison.

Turner Court has long been on the wish list of the MSU coaching staffs to ease the tight practice schedule for the two basketball teams and MSU volleyball in the main arena of HSC. The east gym underwent extensive renovations, including the installation of new lighting, wall covering and side goals, as well as the addition of the hardwood floor that was in use in HSC’s main arena from 1985 until February of 2006. The Bears of coaches Charlie Spoonhour, Mark Bernsen, Steve Alford and Barry Hinson put 13 postseason teams on the old floor, including six NCAA teams and nine NIT squads while it was in use in Hammons.

The Valley T
he Missouri Valley Conference enters its 103rd year at the start of the 2009-10 academic year, and the nation’s secondoldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics. The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions. One of the biggest achievements for The Valley is the increasing notoriety of the State Farm Men’s Basketball Championship, which continually ranks as one of the nation’s top attended championship basketball tournaments. Notably, in March of 2010, the conference will celebrate the tournament’s 20th anniversary in St. Louis. Affectionately known as “Arch Madness,” the tournament is the second-longest tenured neutral site tournament (trailing only the Big East in New York). The Valley made history in March 2007 with record attendance for four days at St. Louis’ Scottrade Center as 85,074 fans turned out to watch the five sessions of the tournament. The two sellout crowds of 22,612 for the semifinals and final of the 2007 State Farm Tournament set an all-time attendance record for basketball at the arena and also gave The Valley the distinction of having the largest championship crowd for any of the 30 NCAA conference tournaments in 2007. League members include Bradley University, Creighton University, Drake University, the University of Evansville, Illinois State University, Indiana State University, Missouri State University, the University of Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois University, and Wichita State University. Eastern Illinois University is an affiliate member in men’s soccer.

Head Coach Cuonzo Martin, 2nd season
Cuonzo (CON-zoe) Martin, former Associate Head Coach at Purdue University, officially took over the helm as Missouri State men’s basketball head coach on April 1, 2008 and begins his second season as the Bears’ head coach in 2009-10. Martin was introduced at a news conference on March 26, 2008 as the 16th head coach in the history of Missouri State, the 27th winningest NCAA Division I program
70
in America. He inherited the program in its 100th anniversary season and the inaugural season in the $67 million, 11,000seat JQH Arena. A native of East St. Louis, Ill., Martin was a star player at Purdue from 1991-95 for coach Gene Keady and then played four years professionally. He coached at Purdue for eight years under Keady and Matt Painter. In 2007-08, he completed his eighth year on the Purdue coaching staff, having been promoted from assistant coach to associate head coach in September of 2007. Martin, who graduated from Lincoln High in East St. Louis, and attended New Hampton (N.H.) Prep School, came to Purdue in 1991. He finished four years later as one of the finest Boilermaker players ever. He currently ranks 11th on Purdue’s all-time scoring list with 1,666 points in his 127 career games.
2009-10 Missouri State Bears Basketball
His best H i bes is esst year yea was his senior season, when he averaged 18.4 points per game while shooting 43.9 percent from the floor, 46.9 percent from three-point range and 79.9 percent from the free throw line. Martin was an emotional leader for the Boilermakers, as well as a long-distance specialist, compiling a 179-for-390 (.459) mark on three-pointers his last two years after going 0-for-7 from long range his first two seasons. He led the Big Ten in threepoint shooting as a senior and was fourth in scoring while helping the Boilermakers to their second of three consecutive Big Ten titles. He also was named to Dick Vitale’s All-Defensive team in 1995. During Martin’s four years, Purdue was 90-37, including 54-12 the last two years, with a pair of Big Ten titles. Martin played professional basketball for four years, with brief NBA appearances with the Milwaukee Bucks (twice) and Vancouver Grizzlies. He spent most of his playing time in the Continental Basketball Association and Europe. He was team captain and leading scorer for three seasons with the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Hoops and was the leading scorer for the Felize Scandone team in Avellino, Italy, in 1997. After a four-year pro career, Martin completed his bachelor’s degree in restaurant, hotel, institutional and tourism management at Purdue in the summer of 2000. Missouri State was 11-20 in Martin’s first year at the helm in 2008-09, but was 9-8 at JQH Arena, including wins over Arkansas, UALR, Arkansas State, Wichita State, Drake, and Evansville in addition to milestone road wins at Central Michigan and a thrilling buzzer-beating victory at UT Martin in the 2009 ESPNU BracketBusters. During his first campaign, the Bears ranked among the nation’s top 20 mostimproved programs in home attendance and finished 75th nationally in per-game attendance average. The Bears also boasted two Academic All-MVC performers, in addition to three other individual MVC awards. Coach Martin was born Sept. 23, 1971.

2008-09 Season Review
2008-09 Growing Pains Build Foundation for Program’s Future The 2008-09 season marked a series of milestones in the storied history of Bears basketball. The team’s new $67 million home facility, JQH Arena, opened; the program’s 16th head coach, Cuonzo Martin, came on the scene; and the team’s centennial season provided perspective on how far the program has progressed since its humble beginnings. Martin, who had served as an assistant and associate head coach at Purdue from 2000-08, was introduced to Bears fans on March 26, 2008 and officially took over on April 1. His intensity and defensive philosophy became contagious early, and the Bears worked hard to prove it on the court during the non-conference portion of the schedule. The season opener at Auburn on Nov. 14 told much about the heart of the 2008-09 squad. The first of several close calls on the season saw the Bears nearly overcome a 39-25 second-half deficit. Spencer Laurie’s three-pointer with 9:43 left in the game cut the Bears’ deficit to 52-51. However, the Bears turned the ball over on their next three possessions, and the bigger, quicker SEC squad extended its advantage to eight points over the next five minutes in a 75-60 loss to the Tigers. Auburn would end its season in the NIT quarterfinals on the way to a 24-12 campaign. Missouri State answered the bell three days later in Mount Pleasant, Mich., when the team helped Martin chalk up his first win with the Bears in a 60-57 win over Central Michigan. Spencer Laurie led four Bears in double figures with 15 points, and the team made five straight free throws in the clutch to hold off a late surge by the Chippewas. The team carried the momentum of a big road win back to Springfield on Nov. 22 for the inaugural game at JQH Arena. Just like the program did in 1976 when it opened Hammons Student Center, Missouri State hosted regional rival Arkansas on opening night. The record crowd of 10,881 fans could not have wished for a better outcome as senior Chris Cooks’ layup with 18.5 seconds left in the second half off a designed in-bound play secured a 62-57 win over the Razorbacks. Redshirt freshman Kyle Weems scored a team-high 16 points in the opener, and Cooks added 15, including a bucket at the 18:54 mark of the second half that extended MSU’s advantage to 33-20 at the time as the Bears held Arkansas to jus six field goals in the first half. Eventual NCAA qualifier Utah came to town on Nov. 26, and despite building a 27-26 halftime lead, the Bears fell victim to a 15-1 run by the Utes early in the second half in a disappointing 71-58 loss. MSU battled back within 46-40 with 9:02 to play, but a 13-minute field goal drought sealed the Bears’ fate, as Utah hit at a .548 clip on the night. Spencer Laurie scored 18 points to lead MSU and fouled out of his first college game in his 98th appearance. The team’s early resiliency took hold again on Dec. 3 with a dominant 59-37 win over Arkansas-Little Rock at JQH. The Bears forced 21 turnovers to match a season high and held the Trojans to 11 field goals and a .234 shooting percentage. Weems had 12 points and 4 steals off the bench to lead MSU. Three days later, the Bears held off Arkansas State, 52-47 in another defensive gem. Wade Knapp was 6-for-7 from the field and Cooks had 12 points and 9 boards, while Ryan Jehle contributed 10 points. The Red Wolves shot 34.6 percent, but forced 18 Bears’ turnovers to stay in the game. The squad’s final non-conference road game of the early schedule came Dec. 10 at Tulsa. In a sensational, back-and-forth contest that featured seven ties and eight lead changes, Weems went 7-for-10 from the field and 4-for-5 from three-point range. With 8:27 to play, a Weems trey tied the game, 52-52, but in the final seconds Cooks and Jehle both missed potential game-tying three-pointers on the team’s final possession in a 70-67 loss to the Golden Hurricane. MSU turned the ball over

game but missed nine n of its 18 free throws and just four times in the game, was out-rebounded by a 46 to 27 margin. For the third time in as many opportunities, the Bears followed a loss with a victory as State came home on Dec. 13 to turn back Central Arkansas, 63-46. The win completed a four-game home sweep over Arkansas opponents, as Knapp went 5-for-6 from the field and had 14 points. Missouri State held UCA to just 11 first-half points. The Bears then hosted the Basketball Travelers Tip-Off Tourney at JQH, Dec. 20-22. A 75-66 win over Norfolk State on the opening night was highlighted by an 18-point, nine-rebound effort by Knapp. The Bears trailed by one with 2:46 to play, but got seven points by Spencer Laurie in just over a minute, and the team made 5-of-6 free throws in the clutch to seal the win. The next night, the Bears matched a season high with 17 assists and made 10 three-pointers, including four by Cooks, to beat UC Irvine, 5748. The Anteaters lingered late in the game before three treys by Justin Fuehrmeyer and Cooks put the game out of reach. In the tournament finale against Middle Tennessee, Cooks took an elbow late in the first half that sent him out of the game with a concussion. He would miss the next three games, but the blow to the team’s senior leader seemed to inspire the Bears. After the Blue Raiders made nine of their first 10 field goals to build a 35-10 lead, the Bears stormed back to cut the deficit to single digits on a Knapp free throw with 17:33 to go. But, Middle Tennessee answered every run and made its free throws down the stretch to hang on to a 63-51 win as the Bears completed their non-conference slate with a 7-4 mark. Cardell McFarland matched a career high with 14 points in a starting role on 5-of-7 shooting.
After receiving an NCAA waiver for 2008-09, Spencer Laurie led the Bears in assists in seven of their first 10 games and scored in double figures 12 times.

2008-09 Season Review
Wade Knapp’s 18 dunks led the team in 2008-09, while his 24 blocked shots tied for team-high honors. Knapp started 29 games his senior season.
The Bears opened league play on Dec. 28 when Illinois State came to town. A three-pointer by Spencer Laurie with 15:22 to go gave the Bears a 15-point lead, 43-28, and things looked good early. However a 22-2 run by the Redbirds over the next nine minutes put the Bears down by five with just over six minutes to play. However, a three-pointer by Boston University transfer Will Creekmore at the horn tied the game, 55-55, and sent the game into overtime. The more experienced Redbirds took over in the extra period, making 11-of-13 free throws in OT, and held off another late surge by the Bears in a 72-69 ISU win. Three-pointers by Fuehrmeyer and Weems over a three-second span in overtime showed the character of the squad, and Creekmore’s 19 points and 11 boards led all players. The home overtime defeat was difficult to recover from, as MSU dropped its next four MVC games. A 67-49 loss at Drake on New Year’s Eve saw Weems step up in Cooks’ absence to post 13 points and nine rebounds, but the Bulldogs drained 10 threes to earn the win. A narrow 63-57 home loss to Bradley followed on Jan. 3, as the Braves scored the game’s final seven points from the free throw line to erase the efforts of Weems whose three-pointer with two minutes to play put the Bears up by one. Creekmore and Spencer Laurie each scored 17 in the Bradley game. A trip to Evansville followed on Jan. 7, and Creekmore’s free throw in the final 36 seconds tied the game and forced overtime in a game with 15 ties and 13 lead changes. Evansville pulled away in overtime with seven free throws, while the Bears shot a respectable 73.9 percent from the line, but missed three charity shots in overtime. The skid continued on Jan. 10 at Northern Iowa as the Panthers shot 81.8 percent from the field in the first half to build a 41-27 lead. The Bears chipped away early in the second half and cut the deficit to 7 points at the 16:41 mark, but could get no closer in a 78-64 loss, matching a school record with the

team’s sixth consecutive defeat. Cooks scored 16 off the bench to lead MSU. A dominant win over Wichita State at JQH Arena on Jan. 14 stopped the losing streak and secured the first league win of the season for the Bears. MSU opened up a 37-23 halftime advantage and forced 19 turnovers in the contest. Cooks posted a career high 23 points and 11 rebounds to pace the way, while Knapp and Creekmore were dominant on the inside, posting 16 and 12, respectively. Four days later at Illinois State, Cooks was hot again with a 20-point outburst against the Redbirds. Unfortunately, the Bears could not close the five-point halftime deficit, making just four of 21 three-point attempts, while ISU shot 21 more free throws than its guests. MSU won the rebounding battle for the seventh time in eight games, but fell to 1-7 in that span. For his efforts, Cooks was named MVC Player of the Week, the only Bear to earn the honor during the campaign. His back-to-back 20-point efforts made him the only MSU player to score 20 or more points in a game, until the MVC Tournament. Martin’s troops turned up the winter heat on Jan. 21 when Drake came to JQH Arena for the first time. The Bears led by as many as 26 points and posted their best shooting effort of the season to that point with a .474 clip in a 65-44 win over the defending league champions. Cooks had 18 points, while Weems snagged 11 rebounds off the bench in the win. MSU worked hard on Jan. 25 to avenge a previous loss to the other Iowa league foe when UNI came calling. The Bears cut a 23-point deficit to seven in the final minute, only to fall short 78-69 as the Panthers made 30-of-36 free throws, while MSU starters accounted for just 19 points. Another close call came on Jan. 29 when the Bears fought all the way back from an 11-point deficit at Southern Illinois to tie the game, 56-56, with 3:58 to play. However the Salukis closed the game on a 12-1 run in a 68-57 loss in Carbondale. A third straight loss followed on Super Bowl Sunday in Omaha as a two-point game at the intermission turned ugly in a hurry as Creighton out-pointed the Bears 44-22 in the second 20 minutes in the season’s worst defeat, 75-51. The Bears turned things around when Evansville came to town on Feb. 4 as Cooks and Weems scored 18 and 10, respectively, in a 65-62 win over the Purple Aces. Weems also posted 10 rebounds, giving him back-to-back double-doubles, while the Bears were able to sustain a sensational home comeback, overcoming a 13-point deficit in the final 14:17. On a nationally-televised game on ESPN2, Feb. 7, the Bears held a 31-28 halftime lead over Southern Illinois, but the Salukis went 6-for-8 from long-range in the second half and made all 10 free throws to earn a win in Springfield, 72-64. Weems hit for 14 points and 11 rebounds as he started his fourth straight game. The SIU game would begin a four-game losing streak for Missouri State as it dropped a 62-61 loss at Wichita on Feb. 10 on a last-second three-pointer. The Bears led by 12 early, and got three straight threepointers by Cooks late in the second half to give the Bears a six-point lead with 6:01 to play. But a Toure’ Murry trey with 5.1 seconds to play sealed the win for the Shockers. MSU shot a season-high .583 from the field on 21-of-36 shooting. The Bears let Indiana State off the hook at home on Valentine’s Day, 76-71, to snap an 18-game home win streak against the Sycamores. ISU made 21-of-22 free throws and shot 50-percent from the field to spoil a 17-point outing by Weems. The team’s trip to Bradley on Feb. 17 proved to be competitive, but the Bears fell short, 71-60. Weems scored 15, and the Bears out-rebounded the bigger Braves, 32-25, while making 90-percent of their free throws. Perhaps the team’s highlight of the second half came in the ESPNU BracketBusters game in Martin, Tenn. on Feb. 21. The Skyhawks, from the Ohio Valley Conference, came into the game with a 19-6 record and were riding an 11-game win streak while boasting the nation’s No. 2 scorer, Lester Hudson. Hudson picked up his third personal foul late

2008-09 Season Review in the first half and had to sit while the Bears pulled away to a 47-39 halftime lead. UTM fought back to tie the game, 77-77, and after a missed trey by Delrico Lane, Knapp gathered in the rebound and the Bears called timeout with seven seconds to go to set up the winning basket. Weems got the roll on a 13-footer that bounced around the rim and finally fell to give MSU a 79-77 victory and the program’s 1500th all-time win. Weems had 11 points to give him double-figure scoring in seven straight games, while the Bears got 15 apiece from Creekmore and Cardell McFarland and 14 from Cooks. The Bears also shot 52.8 percent for the game. The momentum of the win carried over into the next game at JQH Arena on Feb. 24. On Senior Night, the Bears built a 13-point lead on a jumper by Creekmore with 16:34 remaining, but league-leading Creighton stormed back to score 42 points the rest of the way in a 65-59 decision over MSU. Four Bears were in double figures, including Cooks who scored 11 and had a game-high seven boards. The regular season finale at Indiana State on Feb. 28 was the story of two halves as MSU shot 60-percent in the first 20 minutes en route to a 32-31 lead at the intermission. But, the homestanding Sycamores outscored the Bears 38-20 in the second half, while MSU managed just five field goals in the second period in a 69-52 defeat. McFarland scored 12 to lead the way, while Cooks had a game-high 13 rebounds. The Bears finished the regular season with an 11-19 record and 3-15 mark in the MVC. It was the first time the Bears had finished last in the Valley, and the team’s No. 10 seed was no indication of the many close calls the season presented. The Bears squandered seven halftime leads during the campaign, including five in their last seven regularseason games. The Bears lost six league games and five home games in which they led at halftime. In the MVC Tournament in St. Louis, the Bears got an incredible first half from Weems who dropped 16 on No. 7 seed Wichita State in the first 20 minutes. Despite trailing by four at the break, 30-26, the Bears fought hard early in the second period before Wichita State pulled away by as many as 15 with 2:29 to play in a 59-46 openinground defeat at Arch Madness. It was MSU’s firstever loss in the opening round, and Weems’ game-high 20 points seemed symbolic of things to come as he finished with 316 points for the season -- fourth-best on the Bears’ all-time freshman list. Creekmore snagged 10 rebounds, which was also a game high. Cooks earned an honorable mention spot on the All-MVC team, while Weems was named to the All-Freshman team, and Creekmore was on the All-Newcomer squad. Creekmore and
Chris Cooks led the team in scoring (347) and rebounding (182), while earning Honorable Mention All-MVC honors during his senior campaign.
Jehle also earned a position on the Academic All-MVC Team. The injury-plagued campaign saw MSU players miss 60 games collectively, but despite the thin bench for most of the season, the Bears posted a 9-8 record in JQH Arena and were the 20th most-improved team in the nation in home attendance average.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 1
GAME 2
A 12-0 run by Auburn that ran late in the first half to early into the second half proved too much to overcome as the Missouri State Bears fell 75-60 to the Tigers out of the Southeastern Conference in Auburn, Ala. Chris Cooks scored 18 for the Bears (0-1), just two shy of his career high. Cardell McFarland came off the bench to score 14 points, all in the second half, while Spencer Laurie also scored 14 for MSU. The Bears nearly overcame a 39-25 second-half deficit on Laurie’s threepointer at the 9:43 mark to make it a 52-51 game. However, the run was short lived as MSU turned the ball over on its next three possessions, while Auburn used its size and quickness to extend its advantage over the next five minutes to 63-55. Auburn (1-0) had seven dunks in the game and got a game-high 22 points from Korvotney Barber while Tay Waller added 14 on four three-pointers and a dunk at the 6:35 mark to make it a 58-51 Auburn lead. The Bears shot 44.4 percent in the game and 11-for-23 from three-point range, but were out-rebounded 33-26. The Bears built a 19-12 lead early on Cooks’ first three-pointer at the 11:22 mark of the first half. With under 8:00 to go in the half, the Bears led 19-15 before a pair of three-pointers by Waller gave Auburn the lead at the 5:40 mark, 23-22, and the Tigers never looked back. Also scoring for the Bears, who dressed just eight players, were Wade Knapp with seven points after seeing a career-high 24 minutes in his first college start, Kyle Weems scored five and Ryan Jehle added two.
Missouri State made five straight free throws in crunch time to hold off a late surge by homestanding Central Michigan, 60-57, in Mount Pleasant, Mich. Spencer Laurie led MSU with 15 points. The Bears (1-1) were 26-for-32 (.813) from the line on the night, and made up for their lack of three-point shooting with clutch defense and charity shooting. Coach Cuonzo Martin picked up his first career win with his team making just two of 13 three-point attempts. Chris Cooks and Cardell McFarland each scored 14 for Missouri State, while Kyle Weems scored 10. McFarland, a freshman, iced two free throws in the final seconds to secure victory. The Bears forced 20 turnovers with their pressure defense. Central Michigan (1-1) made seven three-pointers in the second half to account for 21 of their 33 points in the final 20 minutes, nearly erasing a 15-point MSU lead with a three-pointer by William Eddie with 33.8 seconds remaining to make it a 56-54 game. However, Cooks and McFarland each hit a pair of free throws in the final 31.6 seconds to seal the win. Spencer Laurie closed out the first half with Missouri State’s last 11 points of the half, including a long three-pointer at the horn, and helped the Bears overcome an early 14-7 deficit to lead, 34-24, at halftime. The Bears, who scored the first four points of the game, also got eight points from Chris Cooks in the first 20 minutes, while Cardell McFarland scored five in the first half. Central Michigan was led by Jeremy Allen with 20 points, while Robbie Harman hit six threes for 18 points.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 3
GAME 4
Missouri State got 16 points, six rebounds and three steals from Kyle Weems to outlast Arkansas, 62-57 in the Bears’ inaugural game at JQH Arena. Chris Cooks added 15 points for the Bears, including a key layup with 18.5 seconds left. Cooks was 6-of-10 shooting from the floor, and beat the shot clock with a 18.5 remaining to extend MSU’s lead to 60-57. Spencer Laurie and Ryan Jehle added free throws for the Bears with under 12 seconds to play to seal the win. Jehle tallied eight points and a team-high nine rebounds for the Bears. After Missouri State built a 28-20 lead in the first half behind Cardell McFarland’s six points, the Bears extended the margin to 33-20 at the 18:54 mark of the second half on a bucket by Cooks. Arkansas rallied for a 14-4 run to cut the Bears’ lead to 37-34 at the 14:24 mark as Rotnei Clarke scored eight points in a stretch, including two of his three treys for the Razorbacks (2-1). A dunk by Michael Washington tied the game, 42-42 at the 11:36 mark, but Weems’ three-pointer with 8:00 left gave the Bears a 46-42 lead. That Missouri State comeback was telling as the Bears rallied from two more deficits in the final six minutes, answering every Arkansas rally with a run of their own. The difference came with 1:07 to play on a jumper by Wade Knapp that erased a brief 57-56 Arkansas lead. Cooks’ layup extended the Bears’ lead to 60-57. On Arkansas’ next possession, Spencer Laurie forced a held ball, and the Bears took over on the alternating possession with 12.4 to play. Laurie and Jehle each hit a free throw apiece down the stretch, and the Bears opened their new arena in style with a 62-57 victory. Clark finished with 19 for Arkansas, while Courtney Fortson added 10. The Bears got eight poinjts and nine rebounds off the bench by Jehle, who also led the team with five assists. Missouri State shot 48 percent from the field in the second half and committed just 10 turnovers for the game.
A 15-1 run by Utah early in the second half propelled the visiting Utes (4-1) to a 71-58 win over Missouri State at JQH Arena before 7,742 fans. The Bears led 27-26 at halftime after a free throw by Wade Knapp with 0.5 seconds left in the first half completed a traditional three-point play and gave Missouri State its first lead. MSU extended the margin to 29-26 to open the second half on another bucket by Knapp and held a 35-31 advantage after a jumper by Chris Cooks at the 17:28 mark. Utah then ran off 15 of the next 16 points and held a 46-36 lead at 9:53. The Bears battled back within 46-40 on a pair of free throws by Cooks at the 9:02 mark, but the Bears went nearly 13 minutes without a field goal as Utah used its size and accurate shooting to pull away. The Utes fired at a 59 percent clip in the second half (13-for-22) and 54.8 percent for the game, while making good on 14-of-18 from the free throw line in the final 20 minutes with five three pointers. The Bears were led by Spencer Laurie who scored 18 points and hit four three-pointers before fouling out for the first time in 98 college games. Laurie and Ryan Jehle each had key three-pointers late in the second half to keep the Bears within striking distance, but Utah kept its composure to seal the win. Cooks was also in double figures with 11 points for the Bears in addition to a game-high eight rebounds. Missouri State was just 8-for-27 (.296) in the second half from the field and hit for 34.0 percent for the game. The Bears outrebounded the bigger Utes by a 16-13 margin in the first 20 minutes, but Utah finished with a 32-28 advantage on the boards. In the first half, Utah led 16-5 with 13:08 remaining before the Bears went on a 12-1 run to tie it at 17-17 at 9:45. Back-to-back threes by Laurie tied the game, and Weems added another tying three-pointer at the 5:56 mark, when the score was 22-22.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 5
GAME 6
Kyle Weems scored 12 points off the bench, and the senior duo of Chris Cooks and Spencer Laurie scored 11 apiece as Missouri State knocked off previously unbeaten Arkansas-Little Rock at JQH Arena. It marked the fewest points allowed by a Missouri State team since giving a 58-34 win over Indiana State on February 3, 2005 at Hammons Student Center. The Bears (3-2) recovered quickly from an early 6-2 deficit and went on a speedy 10-0 run over a four-minute span, capped by a three-pointer by Weems. The trey by the redshirt freshman at the 14:44 mark of the first half gave the Bears a 12-6 lead, and they never looked back. MSU extended its lead to as many as 14 points before the half as it shot 45.5 percent and made 10-for-12 at the line. UALR finished at 23.4 percent shooting, including just 3-for-24 in the second half. The Trojans got 14 points from Steven Moore, including eight free throws. The Bears’ pressure defense forced 21 turnovers, including 13 in the first half, and created 23 points the other direction. MSU also had a season high four fast break points, including two of the team’s three dunks on the night. A second 10-0 run early in the second half by Missouri State took the Bears exactly four minutes to extend their lead to 19 points after UALR battled back within nine at the 13:37 mark on a traditional three-point play by Moore. The Bears responded with three-pointers by Jehle and Laurie and led 48-29 on a jumper by Cooks with 9:37 remaining. UALR out-rebounded the Bears 38-33, but MSU sophomore Ryan Jehle grabbed a game-high 10 boards for Missouri State, including nine on the defensive end, to go along with a career-high nine points in his second start of the season. Laurie’s seven assists sparked the Bears’ offense which led by as many as 25 in the second half. Weems gave the Bears 29 minutes off the bench and was 3-for-5 from the field and a perfect 5-for-5 from the line, contributing to Coach Cuonzo Martin’s squad firing at a season-best 85-percent from the free throw line on the night (17-for-20).
Justin Fuehrmeyer’s jumper with 17 seconds left sealed a 52-47 home win for Missouri State as the Bears (4-2) turned back Arkansas State. Wade Knapp scored 15 points to lead the Bears, while Chris Cooks added 12 points and a game high 9 rebounds in the win. Aside from matching his career high in rebounds, Cooks’ game-best six assists also tied a career best. The Bears extended a five-point halftime lead to 12 points early in the second half on a bucket by Cardell McFarland at the 17:06 mark. The Bears also led by 10 points on four occasions, including a 50-40 lead with 5:50 remaining on a three-pointer by Spencer Laurie. However, Arkansas State (6-2) fought back time after time, putting together a 7-0 run over the next four minutes before Justin Fuehrmeyer’s jumper with just 17 seconds remaining gave the Bears a 52-47 lead and sealed the win. It was Fuehrmeyer’s first game of the season after injuring an ankle two days before the season opener at Auburn. Knapp was 6-for-7 from the field and helped the Bears to a 42.2 shooting percentage on the night. He also grabbed six rebounds as the Bears won the rebounding battle for the first time this season, 33-31. Arkansas State was led by Donald Boone’s 20 points as the junior guard hit 8-of-15 shots and a pair of threes. The Bears trailed 17-11 at the 6:19 mark of the first half before back-to-back baskets by Wade Knapp brought the home crowd back into the game. A threepointer by Ryan Jehle on Missouri State’s next possession, made it 20-17, and a five-point rally by Cooks late in the half cut the deficit to 24-23. Jehle then gave the Bears the lead on a bucket with 2:35 remaining in the first period and a three at the 2:03 mark to put the Bears up 29-24. He finished with 10 points. Also scoring for the Bears were Spencer Laurie with five, Isaiah Rhine with four, and Kyle Weems, McFarland and Fuehrmeyer with two apiece.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 7
GAME 8
Missouri State erased a nine-point second-half deficit on the road and had the ball with a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, only to fall short by a 70-67 margin against Tulsa at Reynolds Center. The Bears (4-3) trailed 42-33 with 17:57 left in the second half and tied the game on a three-pointer by Kyle Weems at the 8:27 mark on the tail of a 17-10 run. Weems finished with a career high 18 points, while Wade Knapp scored 16 -- also a career best. Tulsa responded with a quick 5-0 spurt, capped by a three-pointer by Glenn Andrews with 6:10 left, but MSU fought back within one-point of the lead on four more occassions, including a layup by Wade Knapp who missed the ensuing free throw after a Tulsa foul on the play that would have tied the game at 64 at the 2:18 mark. The Bears were just 9-for-18 from the line on the night. Knapp made two free throws and a jumper in the final 1:03, the latter of which cut the Bears’ deficit to 68-67. Justin Fuehrmeyer fouled Andrews on the inbounds, and after a pair of free throws, the Bears took the ball back with a chance to tie. Chris Cooks missed a three-pointer with 2.5 seconds left, but Tulsa traveled on the rebound, giving the Bears one more crack at a tie. Ryan Jehle’s three from the corner went long, and Tulsa held on for the three-point win. Tulsa (5-4) outrebounded Missouri State by a 46-27 margin, allowing the Golden Hurricane 28 second-chance points and 18 offensive rebounds. For Tulsa, seven-footer Jerome Jordan had a game-high 21 points and 9 rebounds -- six on the offensive end -- to lead all players, while Andrews scored 17 for the Golden Hurricane. Missouri State committed just four turnovers in the game, and shot a seasonbest 44.6 percent from the field. Tulsa shot a season-high 75.7 percent from the free-throw line on 28-of-37 foul shots. Spencer Laurie also contributed 10 points and a game-high four assists for coach Cuonzo Martin’s Bears.
Senior center Wade Knapp was 5-for-6 from the field and had six rebounds to help Missouri State to a 63-46 win over Central Arkansas at JQH Arena. The Bears shot 57.1 percent from the field in the second half and held the visitors from Conway, Ark. to a 35.8 shooting clip for the game, including 1-for-13 from three-point range. Missouri State (5-3) never trailed, but went eight minutes and 26 seconds without a field goal in the first half after Justin Fuehrmeyer gave the Bears a 6-2 lead at the 13:41 mark with his first three-pointer of the season. UCA tied the game, 6-6, at the 11:14 mark, but a 7-0 MSU run increased the home team’s lead to seven points. Fuehrmeyer hit another three with 21.6 seconds left in the half to build the team’s lead to nine at the break, 20-11. After a technical was called on UCA’s Marcus Pillow going into the locker room at halftime, it took coach Cuonzo Martin’s squad just over two and a half minutes to extend its advantage to 34-13 in the second half. Chris Cooks made both technical free throws, before a pair of three-pointers by Ryan Jehle and two buckets by Knapp right out of the gate, helped the Bears build their biggest lead of the game. The 21-point MSU lead at the 17:26 mark motivated Central Arkansas (4-4), which responded with a 10-0 run to keep things close. Former Missouri State player Rand Chappel’s UCA squad built a 39-28 rebounding advantage in the game, which helped it climb within six points of the Bears with 6:02 remaining on a pair of free throws by Brooks Taylor. Taylor and Mike Pouncy led UCA with 12 points apiece. However, Knapp closed out the final six minutes with three buckets, while Kyle Weems hit a three-pointer with 2:08 remaining to extend MSU’s lead to 58-43 at the time. Weems scored nine off the bench for the Bears, while Fuehrmeyer was 3-for-4 from three-point range and finished with 12 points. Jehle was the third Missouri State player in double figures with 10 points, matching his career high, and Chris Cooks matched Knapp for the team lead with six rebounds.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 9
GAME 10
Missouri State finally turned back Norfolk State in the opening round of the Basketball Travelers Tip-Off Tourney after the visiting Spartans lingered for a great portion of the Bears’ 75-66 win. Led by Corey Lyons’ facility record 32-point scoring effort, Norfolk State (1-7) tied the game three times early in the second half and took the lead for the first time on a free throw by Michael DeLoach at the 12:54 mark. DeLoach later hit a pair of foul shots with 6:20 remaining in the game to give NSU a four-point lead, 64-60, at the time. However, the Bears took over down the stretch as Spencer Laurie scored seven points in a span of just over a minute, and MSU made five of six free throws in the final two minutes to seal the win. Laurie’s scoring run overcame a one-point deficit at the 2:46 mark to help the Bears to a 70-66 lead with 1:41 remaining. After a pair of Justin Fuehrmeyer free throws moments later, the Bears held a 72-66 advantage and would never be threatened in the final minute. Wade Knapp had a career-high 18 points and nine rebounds to lead Missouri State, while Laurie finished with 15 points, and Chris Cooks had 13 points and a career-best 10 assists. The Bears owned a 41-39 rebounding advantage, marking just the second time this season MSU has owned the boards. Missouri State also had just four turnovers in the second half to make up for its 33.3 shooting percentage, including 1-for-8 from three, in the second period. DeLoach added 24 points for NSU on 9-for-24 shooting. He and Lyons accounted for all but 10 of the Spartans’ points. In the first half, Missouri State has scored a season-best 41 points and led NSU, 41-38. MSU never trailed in the first half and built a 13-point lead at the 9:00 mark on back-to-back buckets by Knapp. However, Norfolk State hit six three-pointers over the next seven minutes and pulled within one point, 32-31, with just under three minutes to play in the first half. Laurie’s three-pointer with 1:47 remaining in the period extended the Bears’ lead to 41-34 just prior to halftime.
Missouri State outscored visiting UC Irvine (1-9) 15-8 in the final 5:20 and made 10 three-pointers to hold off the Anteaters, 57-48, at JQH Arena in the second day of the Basketball Travelers Tip-Off Tourney. After Missouri State held a 27-26 halftime lead, the Anteaters out of the Big West took a 29-27 lead in the first minute of the second period on a three-pointer by Kevin Bland. The brief Anteater advantage inspired the Bears’ as Ryan Jehle hit a three-pointer less than 30 seconds later, and Spencer Laurie scored the next eight MSU points as the home team built a 39-33 lead. Laurie finished with 10 points and three assists, including eight points in the second period. After UCI pulled within 42-40 on a jumper by Adam Folker, Bears’ junior Justin Fuehrmeyer hit a three-pointer at the 5:20 mark to extend Missouri State’s lead to five. Chris Cooks then scored the Bears’ next six points on a pair of threes. Cooks scored nine in the second half to finish with a game-high 16 points. Fuehrmeyer and Cooks combined to make six-of-six free throws in the final two minutes, and the Anteaters had no answer down the stretch as Missouri State improved to 2-0 in the three-day, round-robin tournament. In the first half, Missouri State had eight points off the bench from recentlyeligible sophomore Will Creekmore, and both teams were 10-for-27 (.370) from the field. Creekmore finished with eight points and six rebounds. In the first half, UC Irvine jumped out to a 12-8 lead early before an 8-0 run by Missouri State shifted the momentum back to the home team in a two-anda-half minute span. Creekmore, a 6-foot-9 transfer from Boston University, had seven of MSU’s points during the run, including a three-pointer, as the Bears built a 16-12 lead at the 9:57 mark. Missouri State shot a season-high 29 three-pointers, making 10, while turning the ball over just 10 times and just twice in the second half.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 11
Basketball Travelers Tipoff Tourney
Middle Tennessee 63, Missouri State 51 Desmond Yates scored 22 points and was named the tournament’s most valuable player as his Middle Tennessee team defeated Missouri State, 63-51, in the finals of the Basketball Travelers Tip-Off Tourney at JQH Arena. MTSU (7-5) shot 65.4 percent in the first half, making its first seven shots and nine of its first 10, to build a double-figure lead just under six minutes into the game. The Blue Raiders eventually led by 25 points in the first half on Calvin O’Neill’s jumper at the 6:30 mark, 35-10. Moments later, Missouri State’s Chris Cooks took an elbow to the eye, forcing him out of the game, and his teammates responded with a run of their own. Missouri State ended the half on a 14-3 run, inspired by nine points from freshman Cardell McFarland, and trailed 38-24 at the intermission. The Bears then tacked on six more unanswered points to start the second half and cut their deficit to 38-30 on a free throw by Wade Knapp at the 17:33 mark. However, Yates answered with a quick jumper and a three-pointer for MTSU before Kyle Weems’ three-pointer with 15:01 remaining in the game brought the Bears back within eight points once again. The Blue Raiders would rebuild a lead of 16 points later in the half, but Weems’ fast-break dunk cut the deficit back to 10 points with 5:16 to play. However, the Bears would miss four shots and commit a turnover on their next five possessions and Middle Tennessee held on for the win. Demetrius Green was also in double figures for Middle Tennessee with 10 points. Middle Tennessee finished with a 55.8 shooting effort and connected on 10of-13 free throws. The Bears were 20-for-52 (.385) and committed a seasonhigh 19 turnovers. Missouri State won the battle of the boards, 32-27, including a season-high 17 offensive rebounds. McFarland led the Bears with 14 points, while Kyle Weems scored 12 off the bench. Cooks finished with eight points and team-best six rebounds.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 12
GAME 13
Missouri State’s rollercoaster conference opener against Illinois State ended with the visiting Redbirds hitting 11-of-13 free throws in overtime to prevail, 72-69. After Spencer Laurie’s three-pointer with 15:22 remaining in the second half built Missouri State’s lead to 43-28, the Bears went cold from the field, and Illinois State (12-0, 1-0) went on a 22-2 run to gain a 50-45 lead on a layup by Lloyd Phillips with 6:09 left in regulation. However, Missouri State fought back to regain the lead on a jumper by Wade Knapp at the 2:12 mark, 51-50, and capped a 7-0 run on a free throw by Justin Fuehrmeyer with 1:37 remaining to lead 52-50. Phillips then scored five straight over the next minute to give the Redbirds a 55-52 lead. Laurie missed a three-pointer on the Bears’ next possession, and it looked like MSU would not have a chance to stop the clock with three fouls to give. However, after the Bears’ second foul, Phillips turned the ball over on the in-bounds play, and a three-pointer by Will Creekmore just before the horn found its mark to tie the game, 55-55, and force overtime. In the extra period, ISU gained a 61-56 lead at the 3:20 mark. Knapp then hit a pair of free throws, and Creekmore hit a short jumper at the 1:52 mark to pull the Bears within 61-60. On Illinois State’s next possession, a missed jumper by Phillips fell into the hands of Spencer Laurie, and it looked as if the Bears would be shooting for the lead. However, Laurie was quickly stripped from behind by Phillips who flipped to Osiris Eldridge for a dunk. He was fouled on the play with 1:22 to go and converted the free shot to give the ISU a 64-60 lead. ISU would make its next six free throws to build a 70-63 lead before threepointers by Justin Fuehrmeyer and Kyle Weems over a three-second span brought the Bears back within two points, 71-69 with four seconds left. Emmanuel Holloway made one of two free throws after a quick foul, but Weems’ long three-pointer bounced off the rim, and the visiting Redbirds held on. Creekmore had 19 points and 11 rebounds, both career highs.
Missouri State cut a nine-point halftime deficit to six on its first possession of the second half on a three-point play by Wade Knapp, but would not get closer as Drake used its three-point shooting to secure a 67-49 win over the Bears in Des Moines, Iowa. Kyle Weems had 13 points and a career-high nine rebounds to lead the Bears who shot 44 percent in the second half and 38.3 percent for the game. Knapp was also in double figures with 11 points and seven boards for the Bears (7-6, 0-2), who had their lowest scoring output of the season. Drake, which fell behind 8-2 in the early going, stormed back with a 20-4 run midway through the first half and built an 11-point advantage, 26-15 with 1:19 to go in the first half. The Bears got a pair of free throws from Knapp just before the half to make it 27-18 at the break. The senior from Wakeeney, Kan. then collected the threepoint play to start the second half to make it 27-21 before Drake (10-4, 1-1) rolled off 14 of the next 21 points. The Bulldogs earned 17 points from the free throw line and made good on 62.5 percent of its second-half three-point shots. A basket by Justin Fuehrmeyer with 13:30 to play brought the Bears back within eight, 41-33, but the Bulldogs and the Knapp Center audience of 6,018 responded with a 14-5 run that proved too much for Cuonzo Martin’s squad to overcome. Drake was led by Jonathan Cox’s 23 points and 11 rebounds, including 4-of-5 from three-point range, while Josh Young scored 16 and made 5-of-6 from the line. It was Drake’s biggest win in the series between the two clubs, which Missouri State now leads 29-9. The Bulldogs were 10-for-21 from three-point range (.476) and made good on 20-of-47 (.426) field goals while out-rebounding Missouri State, 35-30.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 14
GAME 15
A three-pointer by Kyle Weems with two minutes remaining gave Missouri State a 57-56 lead, but the visiting Braves scored the last seven points -- all from the free throw line -- to steal a 63-57 win at JQH Arena. The Bears (7-7, 0-3) erased an early 14-point deficit with solid play in the second half and went up by three points with 6:02 left in the game on a pair of Wade Knapp free throws. However, Bradley tied the game at the 4:00 mark on a three-pointer by Chris Roberts who finished with a game-high 22 points. A pair of free throws by Theron Wilson with 2:23 to play gave Bradley a 5654 advantage before Weems’ trey at the 2:00 mark. The bucket by the Bears’ redshirt freshman would be the team’s last, and BU made seven of its next eight free throws to improve to 9-5 overall and 3-0 in the league. The Bears didn’t lead until a driving layup by Cardell McFarland with 8:14 remaining gave Cuonzo Martin’s squad a 48-47 advantage, but Bradley quickly bounced back with a pair of free throws and a dunk by Roberts over the next minute. Will Creekmore and Spencer Laurie led the Bears with 17 points apiece. Laurie had four three-pointers and a game-high five assists, while making three clutch second-half shots to stage MSU’s comeback. Creekmore grabbed a game-high eight rebounds, including seven offensive boards, helping Missouri State to a season-best 41 total rebounds and 25 on the offensive end. The team’s +10 rebounding margin was also a season-best. Bradley led 27-13 with 6:17 to go in the first half before the Bears stormed back to cut their deficit to five, 33-28, on a basket from Justin Fuehrmeyer at the 16:38 mark of the second half and capping a 15-6 MSU run. Missouri State shot a season low 19-for-64 (.297) from the field and made just six of 20 three-point attempts. The Bears also had 23 first-half rebounds, including 17 offensive boards, helping MSU to 18 second-chance points for the game.
Missouri State gave a valiant effort and used its defensive pressure to overcome a lackluster shooting performance, only to fall short in overtime, 66-61, to the Evansville Purple Aces at historic Roberts Stadium. The Bears (7-8, 0-4) trailed 30-27 at the half, but held a hot-shooting Evansville squad to just 34.8 percent from the field in the second half to catch the Aces and later take a four-point lead. The MSU advantage came with 6:01 to play on a three-pointer by Chris Cooks who had missed the previous three games with an injury. The Bears’ 48-44 lead was short-lived as Jason Holsinger answered with a three-pointer of his own two possessions later to tie the game again at the 5:11 mark -- the 10th tie of the game. After missing the front end of a two-shot foul, Will Creekmore’s free throw with 36.4 seconds remaining tied the game for the 14th time, 55-55, and forced the extra period. Evansville scored seven of its 11 overtime points from the free throw line as the Bears lost a season-high three players to foul disqualifications late. The biggest blow came with 18.4 seconds left. After a missed free throw by Kavon Lacey, the Aces grabbed the long rebound and got a put back by Pieter van Tongeren to extend their lead to 65-61. A long, driving shot by Justin Fuehrmeyer on the Bears’ next possession was off its mark, and Evansville (11-3, 3-1) added another charity toss in the final seconds to escape with a 66-61 win. MSU was 1-for-7 in overtime from the field and was led by Will Creekmore’s 13 points and 8 rebounds. Fuehrmeyer, who played all 45 minutes, scored 11, and Shane Laurie had a season-high 10 to help the Bears collect a season-best 27 bench points. The Bears outrebounded the Aces, 38-36, and shot 73.9 percent from the free throw line on 17-of-23, but missed three free throws in overtime. Holsinger led Evansville with 19 points, including two of Evansville’s three three-pointers.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 16
GAME 17
Missouri State dropped its sixth game in a row, falling 78-64 at Northern Iowa, despite 16 points and six rebounds from senior Chris Cooks and 12 points from classmate Wade Knapp. The Bears (7-9, 0-5) also dropped their fifth straight Missouri Valley Conference game. MSU fell behind early as the homestanding Panthers missed just four shots in the first half on 18-of-22 (.818) shooting. UNI (10-6, 4-1) led 41-27 at halftime and had four players in double figures. The Bears chipped away in the second half, showing a needed sense of urgency out of the gates as Knapp scored the Bears’ first eight in the second period. Will Creekmore’s three-pointer with 16:41 left cut the Bears’ deficit to 45-38 and capped an 11-4 MSU run. Northern Iowa responded with a 12-6 run of its own over the next five minutes to recapture a double-figure advantage, 57-44, and never looked back. Shane Laurie matched a career high with three three-pointers for the Bears as he finished with nine points. MSU was led in rebounding by Isaiah Rhine who played just 14 minutes and had seven rebounds. Cuonzo Martin’s team outrebounded the Panthers, 27-26, to win its fifth rebounding battle in six contests. UNI was led by Adam Koch’s 22 points and 11 rebounds on 7-of-8 shooting. Jordan Eglseder added 16, also on 7-for-8, as the Panthers finished the game with a 70.5 shooting percentage (31-for-44), including 6-for-12 from three. Koch became the Bears’ first opposing player to land a double-double this season. Missouri State’s six-game losing streak matched a school record for consecutive losses in a season, done four times previously, most recently from January 12-29, 1994.
Senior Chris Cooks had career highs 23 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Bears over Wichita State, 68-55, giving MSU its first league win of the season. Coach Cuonzo Martin’s squad shot 45.1 percent from the field on 23-of-51 shooting and forced 19 turnovers to improve to 8-9 overall and 1-5 in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Bears, who never trailed in the game, got nine of their first 11 points from Cooks in building an early 11-2 lead. Cooks surpassed his previous career high of 20 scored last season in Wichita, and collected Missouri State’s first 20-point scoring effort of the season. He finished 8-for-15 from the field and had a pair of three pointers and four steals to complement his first double-figure rebounding game. Wade Knapp added 16 points, three dunks and eight rebounds for Missouri State, which snapped a six-game losing streak, while Will Creekmore scored 12 points. Justin Fuehrmeyer also contributed a season-best eight assists at the point, while playing 34 minutes with no turnovers. Toure’ Murry, whose three-pointer at the 12:45 mark of the first half pulled Wichita State (6-11, 0-6) within 16-12, had 13 points, while Reggie Chamberlain also collected 13 points behind four three-pointers for the Shockers. After the Shockers’ first-half run, Missouri State responded with a 10-2 scoring run of its own to expand its lead to 26-14. MSU then ended the first half with a three-pointer at the horn by Creekmore to go into the intermission leading 37-23. Cooks scored the Bears’ first seven points of the second half, helping the Bears open up a 48-29 advantage at the 13:02 mark. Creekmore’s short jumper with 8:45 remaining gave Missouri State its biggest lead of the ball game at 56-36. The Shockers pulled with 11 points of the lead, 64-53, with 3:06 remaining on a three-pointer by Murry, but Cooks’ three points in the final two minutes kept the lead safe, and Missouri State earned its first conference win of the campaign. MSU out-rebounded WSU by a 31-24 margin, including 14 offensive rebounds, and won the battle of the boards for the sixth time in seven games.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 18
GAME 19
Chris Cooks scored 20 points, but Missouri State could not overcome the balanced scoring of the homestanding Illinois State Redbirds, falling 68-56 in the season finale between the two teams. It was ISU’s fifth straight win in the series. Cooks, the MVC Player of the Week, hit a three-pointer in the final seconds of the first half that brought the Bears back within five points, 29-24, but Illinois State came out with a 14-4 run to start the second half. ISU would build a 15-point advantage at the 12:45 mark of the second period and survived a pair of late Missouri State runs to improve to 16-2 overall and 5-2 in the Valley, The Bears fought back to cut the deficit to 55-47 on a long two-pointer by Kyle Weems with just under five minutes remaining, but could get no closer down the stretch. Weems had 12 points off the bench and a team-best eight rebounds. He was 6-for-8 from two-point range, but missed all six three-point attempts. Isaiah Rhine also contributed six rebounds off the bench for the Bears. In the first half, the Bears built an early 9-5 lead on a pair of Cooks’ free throws at the 15:38 mark before a 10-0 Illinois State run gave the Redbirds a 15-9 at the 13:20 mark. MSU then reeled off the next eight points to tie the game, 17-17. After the 17-17 tie, Illinois State scored 10 of the next 12 points to build a 27-19 lead as the Bears went more than 10 minutes without a field goal before a jumper by Weems with under a minute to go cut the deficit to 27-21. Cooks’ three-pointer just before the break made it 29-25, and the Bears would get no closer the rest of the way. Illinois State shot 21 more free throws than the Bears and had four players in double figures, including 15 apiece by Emmanuel Holloway and Lloyd Phillips. Both players also matched Cooks for game-high honors in assists with five apiece. Dinma Odiakosa added a game-high 13 rebounds for Illinois State. The Bears were just 4-for-21 from three-point range in the game (.190), but won the rebounding war by a 37-34 margin. It was Missouri State’s seventh rebounding advantage over an eight-game span.
Chris Cooks scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds to help Missouri State (9-10, 2-6) to a 65-44 win and avenge an earlier loss to Drake in MVC play. The Bears shot 47.4 percent from the field behind another season-best 27 field goals to secure their second conference win in three tries. Missouri State jumped out to a 13-6 lead as senior Wade Knapp scored 11 of the team’s first 13 points. Drake fought back to make it 21-20 game on a free throw by Josh Young with 2:47 left in the half. After Young missed the second free throw attempt, Cardell McFarland connected on a jumper for Missouri State to make it 23-20. Moments later, Cooks extended the MSU lead to 25-20 with a jumper of his own, and the Bears went into the break with a 25-21 lead. Knapp finished with 13 points for the game, while McFarland scored 10 -- his first double-figure scoring output in eight games. MSU stormed out of the gates in the second half with a 13-2 run to build a 38-23 lead, capped by a traditional three-point play by Cooks. McFarland added three-pointers on back-to-back possessions to extend the lead to 47-27 with 10:22 to play, and Knapp’s bucket at the 9:45 mark built the margin to 22 points. Jonathan Cox broke a five-and-a-half minute stretch for the Bulldogs without a field goal with just over nine minutes to go to stop the Bears’ surge momentarily, and Adam Templeton’s three-pointer with 8:23 remaining cut Missouri State’s lead to 19 points, 51-32. However, Drake would get no closer down the stretch. Young led the Bulldogs with 13 points, while Cox added 13 rebounds. Templeton and Josh Parker scored nine points apiece for Drake, which shot just 31.3 percent (15-for-48) and connected on only five of its 26 (.192) threepoint attempts. Missouri State got a career-high 11 rebounds from Kyle Weems who added seven points, while Shane Laurie scored nine, and Justin Fuehrmeyer had nine assists. Isaiah Rhine was in Missouri State’s starting lineup for the first time since the season opener at Auburn and finished with a pair of rebounds. The Bears attempted just five free throws in the game, making three, and outrebounded the Bulldogs 42-28.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 20
GAME 21
Missouri State cut a 23-point second-half deficit to seven in the final minute, only to fall short, 78-69, to league-leading Northern Iowa at JQH Arena on Sunday night as both teams reached the midway point in MVC play. The Bears took a 25-24 lead on a three-pointer by Spencer Laurie with 4:40 to go in the first half, but gave up the next 14 points, including a 12-0 run by the visiting Panthers to close out the opening period. The Bears were within 10 points of UNI multiple times in the second half, but the Panthers extended a 5040 lead to 68-45 in a span of less than five minutes and put the game away late with accurate free throw shooting. UNI (14-6, 8-1 MVC) made 30-of-36 (.833) free throws to break a facility record, while junior Adam Koch connected on 18-of-20 at the line and finished with a game-high 30 points. Kwadzo Ahelegbe made 7-of-10 charity shots and was the only other Panther player in double figures with 12. The Panthers also had six traditional three-point play opportunities in the contest, making good on four of them with accurate free throw shooting. Missouri State made 12 three-pointers, which paced their late comeback. MSU hit six threes in the final 5:34 and had the game back within seven points, 73-66, when Chris Cooks was fouled on a made layup in the final minute. However, Cooks missed the ensuing free throw that would have made it a two possession game, and the Panthers closed out the contest by making five straight free throws. The Bears’ bench outscored UNI’s by a 50-17 margin, and all four MSU players in double figures did so in a reserve role. Cardell McFarland hit for a team-high 13 points, giving him back-to-back double-figure games for the first time since the first two ball games of the season. In his first game back after missing four contests with a broken non-shooting hand, Spencer Laurie made four three-pointers to finish with 12. Kyle Weems also scored 12, and Ryan Jehle hit for 11 on 4-for-4 shooting. Missouri State made just 9-of-18 (.500) free throws in the game and was outrebounded, 39-32, snapping a six-game streak out-rebounding its opponents.
Missouri State fought all the way back from an 11-point deficit to tie the game, 56-56 with 3:58 to play, but could not find an answer down the stretch as the homestanding Southern Illinois Salukis prevailed in Carbondale, 68-57. The Bears’ comeback was paced by post players Will Creekmore and Wade Knapp who posted 15 points apiece, including 11 in the second half by Knapp. Both players came off the bench and responded with a more-physical effort, resulting in a career-best 13 rebounds by Creekmore. After MSU (9-12, 2-8 MVC) tied the game on a jumper by Creekmore, Carlton Fay grabbed SIU’s 10th offensive rebound of the game and was fouled to put him on the line where he made the first of two free throws to give the Salukis (10-11, 5-5) a one-point lead, 57-56. After a Missouri State miss on the ensuing possession, Bryan Mullins hit Southern’s only three-pointer of the night, to extend the lead to four points. In the second half, Mullins became the second player in MVC history to collect 500 career assists and 250 steals. He finished with 13 points, 10 assists and five steals to pace Coach Chris Lowery’s squad. Fay matched a career high with 17 points while Tony Boyle scored 14 for SIU.a The Bears were outrebounded for the second game in a row, 34-33, and committed 15 turnovers, while shooting 41.7 percent from the field on 20-of-48 shooting. More significantly, Missouri State connected on just 3-of-10 secondhalf free throws and made just 56.0 (14-for-25) from the charity stripe. SIU shot 47.8 percent on 22-of-46 shooting, made 1-of-8 from three-point range and 14-of-17 (.824) second half free throws. In the first half, a 15-4 run by Southern Illinois over a six-minute period late in the first half gave the Salukis a 39-31 lead. Creekmore’s jumper just before the end of the half, brought it back to eight points after the Salukis briefly led 39-28. The game was originally scheduled for January 28, but was postponed due to adverse traveling conditions in a winter ice and snow storm.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 22
GAME 23
After establishing a 10-point lead with just under seven minutes to go in the first half, the Missouri State Bears could not find their offensive swagger in the second half, ultimately falling to the Creighton Bluejays, 75-51. Kyle Weems scored 15 points and had a career-high 12 rebounds to lead Missouri State, which grabbed a 21-11 advantage on Weems’ three-pointer at the 6:57 mark of the first period. It was the freshman Weems’ first doubledouble of the season. Creighton then ran off 18 of the game’s next 21 points to lead 29-24 before the Bears closed out the half strong as Weems scored in transition, and Justin Fuehrmeyer hit a clutch jumper with the shot clock running out with just over a minute to go in the half to make it 29-28. Chris Cooks made the back end of a two-shot free throw with 59.5 seconds left to tie the game, 29-29, before a putback dunk by Kenny Lawson helped CU regain a narrow lead at the intermission, 31-29. The second half, however, was all Creighton as the Bluejays forced 10 turnovers and outscored the Bears 15-4 to start the second period and never looked back. Dana Altman’s squad led by as many as 24 points down the stretch and handed the Bears their worst loss of the year, making good on 60-percent of its second-half field goal attempts to improve to 17-6 overall and 7-4 in the Valley. The Bears (9-13, 2-9) also got 14 points from freshman Cardell McFarland, which tied a career high, including a 6-for-6 demonstration at the line. Chris Cooks made just 4-of-14 shots but finished with 11 points, nine rebounds and matched McFarland with a team-high three assists. MSU hit just 30.2 percent of its shots, matching a season-low 16 field goals, but were 83.3 percent (15-for-18) from the line. Creighton finished the game with a 46.0 shooting effort (29-for-63) and converted 6-of-17 (.353) three-pointers, while outrebounding the Bears, 39-36. CU also had 38 points in the paint, compared to the Bears 18.
Chris Cooks and Kyle Weems recorded their second double-doubles of the season to help Missouri State (10-13, 3-9) to a 65-62 home win over Evansville in Missouri Valley Conference play at JQH Arena. Cooks’ 18-point outburst was his best in four games to go along with 10 rebounds -- his second-highest total of the season -- while Weems recorded 10 points and 10 boards to post his second straight double-double as the Bears snapped a three-game losing streak. The Bears come-from-behind win avenged a 66-61 overtime loss in Evansville on January 7, but seemed unlikely early in the second half. After Justin Fuehrmeyer’s three-pointer beat the first-half horn to tie the game, 30-30, Evansville opened the second half with a 16-3 run to go up 46-33 at the 14:20 mark. From there, Evansville native Cardell McFarland reeled off nine of MSU’s next 11 points to close the gap to 51-44 before Weems’ three-point shot with 9:39 to go made it a four-point ball game. Will Creekmore then emerged as the Bears hero with the next two field goals for the home team, both hook shots in the paint, to tie the game, 51-51, with 6:26 remaining. After Evansville regained the lead on a basket by Kaylon Williams on its next possession, Creekmore knotted the game at 53 before fouling out with just under three minutes to play. After a pair of free throws and a basket by Cooks, the Bears built a 61-57 lead at the 2:32 mark, which would be the last field goal the Bears would score. MSU made just 5-of-10 free throws in the final minute, but it was enough to hang on for the win and improve to 9-5 at home this season. Evansville (14-8, 6-6) was led by Nate Garner’s game-highs 24 points and 11 rebounds, while Shy Ely netted 15 and Pieter van Tongeren added 10 before fouling out with 51 seconds left. Ely and Jason Holsinger both missed potential game-tying three-pointers with under a minute to play. The Bears made 12-of-24 shots in the second half to overcome an uncharacteristic 14 turnovers. MSU also gained a win in the rebounding battle, 35-33.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 24
GAME 25
Southern Illinois sophomore Justin Bocot scored 28 points, including 18 in the second half, to lead the visiting Salukis to a 72-64 come-from-behind win at Missouri State in a nationally-televised ESPN2 MVC game. After Missouri State took its biggest lead of the contest on a three-pointer by Kyle Weems at the 18:27 mark of the second half, 34-30, SIU reeled off the game’s next nine points and never trailed again to improve to 11-13 overall and 6-7 in the MVC. The Bears fought back within one at 44-43 on a three-pointer by Chris Cooks just under eight minutes into the second period, but Bocot single-handedly helped the Salukis pull away with the next eight SIU points, including two of his six three-pointers. Missouri State got back-to-back buckets by Cooks and Weems in a 45-second stretch at the six-minute mark to pull within 58-51, but the Saluki long-range attack answered again moments later on a three-pointer by Ryan Hare. SIU was 9-for-15 from beyond the arc (.600), while connecting on 19-of-21 (.905) free throws in the game, both JQH Arena records. Despite owning a 40-32 rebounding advantage and posting their third-best rebounding total of the season (40 total and 19 on the offensive end) the Bears could not find their offensive swagger. MSU shot just 37.7 percent for the game on 23-of-61, but more critically missed 11 free throws to finish with a 54.2 percent effort on 13-of-24 charity shots. After going 0-for-9 from beyond the arc in the first half, Missouri State made 5-of-10 threes in the second half. Weems scored 14 points and collected a game-high 11 rebounds to secure his third consecutive double-double for MSU, while Cooks matched Weems’ scoring output to share team-high honors. Cardell McFarland, who had nine points in the first half, finished with 12 to complete his fourth double-figure scoring game in a six-game span. Will Creekmore had six points and nine rebounds off the bench to lead the Bears’ reserves. There were nine ties and 13 lead changes in the ball game.
A three-pointer by freshman Toure’ Murry with 5.1 seconds remaining lifted Wichita State over Missouri State, 62-61, at Koch Arena in Wichita on Tuesday night in Missouri Valley Conference play. Murry, who finished with a game-high 23 points, came off a screen on the right wing to hit the game-winner, but MSU wasted no time inbounding the ball in the final moments. Senior Spencer Laurie then drove the length of the floor only to narrowly miss a layup before the horn as the Shockers escaped with a comeback home win. The Bears shot season-bests 58.3 percent from the field and 69.2 percent from three, but came up short at the free throw line with just 10 makes in 19 attempts (.526), including 3-of-7 in the final 3:25. MSU (10-15, 3-11 MVC) got 15 points from Chris Cooks and Kyle Weems, while Laurie scored 11 along with Wade Knapp. The Bears, who led 31-29 at halftime, blew their second halftime lead in as many games and were outrebounded 30-20 with 16 turnovers. Wichita’s comeback spoiled a gritty effort by Cuonzo Martin’s team. In a game that saw eight ties and five lead changes, the Bears overcame a 7-0 Shockers run to start the second half with a 12-4 run of their own. Laurie hit back-to-back three-pointers with 12:43 to play to put the Bears up 43-40. Later Clevin Hannah tied the game 47-47 on a three-pointer for the Shockers with 7:45 to go before Cooks took over with three-pointers on three straight Bears possessions as MSU built its advantage to 56-50 with 6:01 to go. After Wade Knapp’s layup at the 4:07 mark gave MSU a 58-51 lead, the Bears would not make another field goal and connected on just three free throws in seven attempts down the stretch. Despite the charity line woes, Cooks did make the front end of a two-shot opportunity with 19.6 seconds to play to give the Bears a 61-59 lead. The Shockers called timeout with 13.9 seconds on the clock and set up a play for Murry to win the game. The Bears led 25-13 at the 6:32 mark of the first half, only to have the homestanding Shockers reel off 14 of the next 16 points to tie the game, 27-27.

2009-10 Missouri State Bears Basketball 109
2008-09 Season Review GAME 26
GAME 27
Missouri State survived a 15-0 second-half run by Indiana State and took the lead on a pair of free throws by Wade Knapp with 1:01 to play, only to fall short, 76-71, in Missouri Valley Conference play Saturday at JQH Arena. Knapp’s free throws capped a 16-6 Bears run after Indiana State built a 64-55 lead with 7:27 to go. The Bears (10-16, 3-12 MVC) matched a season high with 27 field goals, but missed their last seven field goal attempts, including four in the final minute. Indiana State (7-19, 5-10) took advantage of a pair of fouls on Chris Cooks with 42.9 second left as Jay Tunnell made a pair of free throws to give the Sycamores a 72-71 lead. After misses by Cooks and Wade Knapp on the Bears’ next possession, Cooks had to foul to stop the clock, disqualifying him and putting ISU’s Carl Richard on the line with 17.3 ticks remaining. Richard missed the front end of the one-and-one opportunity -- ISU’s only missed free throw in 22 attempts in the game -- and the Bears hustled down the floor to shoot for the lead. A short jumper by Spencer Laurie didn’t find its mark, and the Bears had to foul again. It was Harry Marshall who then came up big for ISU with a pair of free throws to extend the Sycamores’ lead to 74-71 with 4.2 seconds left. The Bears wasted no time inbounding the ball and finding an open Kyle Weems whose potential game-tying three-pointer was blocked by Richard. The Bears fouled with one second to go, and Marshall made both shots to give Indiana State a 76-71 win. It marked Indiana State’s first win in Springfield in 19 tries and was also the third straight game in which MSU had squandered a halftime advantage. After ISU opened a 7-0 lead early and led 18-11 at the 12:18 mark, the Bears reeled off the game’s next 13 points to gain a 24-18 advantage. The Bears led 35-30 at the half and did not trail again until back-to-back three-pointers by Rashad Reed gave ISU a 40-39 lead with 17:45 remaining in the game.
Missouri State had two second half possessions down 47-45, but could not convert on the offensive end in an effort to hold off a steal-happy Bradley team on its home floor, falling 71-60, in Peoria. The Braves collected 13 steals, the most by a Bears’ opponent this season, and forced 18 MSU turnovers, the second-highest turnover total for Cuonzo Martin’s squad in 2008-09. The Bears (10-17, 3-13 MVC) got 15 points and five rebounds by Kyle Weems, including 11 in the second half, to lead the way. Weems recorded his sixth straight double-figure scoring game. Bradley (15-12, 9-7 MVC) got 17 points apiece from Theron Wilson and Sam Maniscalo. Maniscalo had two clutch second-half three-pointers, and Wilson had a game-high five steals. After trailing 39-33 at the half, the Bears surrendered the first four points of the second half to fall behind by 10. MSU called timeout and outscored Bradley 16-9 over the next 11 minutes, collecting numerous defensive stops with a greater defensive effort. However, it was a three-point play by Wilson at the 7:08 mark that turned a 52-49 game into a 55-49 Bradley advantage, and the visitors would get no closer than seven the rest of the way. The Bears shot 45.8 percent from the field on 22-of-48 shooting and converted 7-of-21 three-pointers to go with a 90-percent effort (9-of-10) from the charity stripe. The Bears also outrebounded the bigger Bradley squad, 32-25. Cardell McFarland had 11 points, all in the first half, for the Bears on 4-of-5 shooting, including a trio of three-pointers, while Chris Cooks contributed seven points, all in the first 20 minutes. A 14-4 Bradley run during a five-minute stretch late in the first half helped the Braves build a 39-28 lead after a three-pointer by Taylor Brown with 1:59 to go in the half. However, the Bears answered with a three-pointer by Spencer Laurie and a pair of free throws by Chris Cooks to pull within 39-33 at the break.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 28
GAME 29
Missouri State earned its 1500th all-time win in thrilling fashion as freshman Kyle Weems got the roll on a 13-footer that bounced around the rim and fell through as time expired to give the Bears a 79-77 victory at Tennessee-Martin in the ESPNU BracketBusters series. With the game tied at 77, the Bears took over after a missed three-pointer by Delrico Lane was gathered in by Wade Knapp. The Bears brought the ball to mid-court and called a timeout with seven seconds to play, setting up the gamewinning play for Weems. The Bears’ freshman finished with 11 points and four assists to record his seventh consecutive double-figure scoring game. The homestanding Skyhawks (19-7) fought to extend their school record 11-game winning streak. With 7:37 to play, Olajide Hay collected a steal and took it all the way to the basket to give UTM a 67-60 lead. However, the Bears responded with an 11-2 run behind the efforts of freshman Cardell McFarland who hit two three-pointers and capitalized on a traditional three-point play to put the Bears up 71-69 at the 5:17 mark. UTM retook the lead, 73-71, on an Eric Massey layup with 4:33 to go and never trailed again until Weems’ game-winner, despite game-tying layups by MSU seniors Spencer Laurie and Chris Cooks down the stretch. Laurie had two critical defensive stops on Lester Hudson down the stretch. The nation’s No. 2 scorer finished with 20 points, but Laurie forced him off balance on a jumper with 42 seconds left. Then, after a UTM offensive rebound and timeout, Hudson set up his Skyhawks for a potential game-winner, but he couldn’t shake Laurie, and had to dish to Lane who missed the three-pointer. Marquis Weddle had a game-high 26 for UTM, while the Bears were led by McFarland and Will Creekmore with 15 points apiece. The Bears jumped out to a 21-11 lead on a bucket by Ryan Jehle at the 12:10 mark, but UTM went on a 19-9 run to lead briefly 30-29 with seven free throws and a pair of threes. However, MSU ended the half on a 5-0 run behind a pair of free throws by Weems and a trey by Creekmore to lead 47-39 at the half.
On Senior Night at JQH Arena, the Bears took a 13-point lead on a jumper by Will Creekmore with 16:34 left in the game, but league-leading Creighton stormed back with 42 points the rest of the way to win 65-59. The Bears never trailed until a three-pointer by Casey Harriman at the 6:57 mark of the second half put Creighton (24-6, 13-4) up 48-47. On the Bluejays’ next possession, Harriman answered the bell again with another trey to extend the CU advantage to 51-47. Missouri State (11-18, 3-14) fought back on a traditional three-point play by senior Wade Knapp just moments later to make it 51-50, but the Bluejays responded on the other end on a similar bucket and free throw by Cavel Witter. Senior Chris Cooks tied the game, 57-57, on a pair of free throws with 1:59 to play, but the dagger came at the 1:15 mark when Harriman hit his third threepointer during the comeback run to give the Bluejays a four-point lead, 62-58. Cooks, who had 11 points and a game-high seven rebounds, got to the line with 56 seconds to go, but made just one of the two charity line opportunities to make it 62-59. Witter then made the shot of the night with 20.3 to play to give Creighton a five point lead. Spencer Laurie’s three-point attempt on MSU’s next possession was off its mark, and Justin Carter made a free throw with four seconds left to help Creighton keep pace with Northern Iowa in the Valley standings with the win. Laurie, a senior, and Will Creekmore shared game-high scoring honors with Cooks with 11 points, while MSU’s third active senior player Wade Knapp scored 10. It was Missouri State’s first Senior Night loss in 20 seasons, dating back to the finale of the 1988-89 season at Hammons Student Center. Creighton got 11 points from P’Allen Stinnett and Witter, while Harriman added 10. The Bluejays also forced the Bears into a season-high 19 turnovers. In the first half, the Bears led 22-10 on a pair of free throws by Creekmore at the 9:58 mark. After CU whittled the lead nine with 5:01 to go, the Bears responded with four free throws by Ryan Jehle and Laurie to lead 32-21 at the break.

2008-09 Season Review GAME 30
GAME 31
After an impressive first half effort in Terre Haute, Ind., the Missouri State Bears watched Indiana State reel off 16 unanswered points early in the second half and never recovered, falling 69-52, to Indiana State (10-20, 7-11) in the final Missouri Valley Conference game of the season for both teams. A running bank shot and free throw by junior Justin Fuehrmeyer with 10 seconds to go in the first half helped Missouri State (11-19, 3-15) build a 32-31 halftime lead. Wade Knapp then scored the Bears’ first points of the second half on a layup at the 19:45 mark to make it 34-31. However, the MSU momentum bottomed out shortly thereafter as the Sycamores reeled off the game’s next 16 points to lead 47-34 before a layup by Cardell McFarland broke a six-minute drought by Cuonzo Martin’s team. Carl Richard had a game-high 20 points to lead Indiana State, including four three-pointers to increase his season total to 10 from beyond the arc. Richard also had 10 rebounds, while ISU’s only senior Jay Tunnell scored 16 points on Senior Day at the Hulman Center. The Bears got 12 points from Cardell McFarland, including eight in the second half, while Knapp scored 9 and Cooks had a game-high 13 rebounds. After a 60-percent shooting effort in the first half, MSU made just 5-of-21 (.238) field goals in the second period, and was outrebounded by a 22-16 over the game’s final 20 minutes. In the first half, the Bears built an 18-13 lead on a put back by Ryan Jehle at the 9:57 mark, but Indiana State reeled off the game’s next six points to lead 19-18. With the game tied 22-22 with 4:42 to go in the half, MSU went on a 7-0 run with free throws by Jehle and Fuehrmeyer and buckets by Chris Cooks and Cardell McFarland to give the Bears their biggest lead of the game, 29-22. However, the Sycamores got a three-pointer by Carl Richards with 35 ticks to play in the first period to tie the game again, before Fuehrmeyer’s traditional three-point play returned the lead to the MSU camp at the intermission.
Missouri State shot just 18.5 percent from the field in the second half and 29.1 percent for the game in a 59-46 opening-round loss to Wichita State in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament at Scottrade Center in St. Louis. The Bears who finished 11-20 in Cuonzo Martin’s inaugural season as head coach, cut a four-point halftime deficit to one point less than a minute into the second half behind a free throw by Spencer Laurie and a dunk by Wade Knapp. The 30-29 deficit was short lived as the Bears would go nearly eight minutes without another field goal, while the seventh-seeded Shockers extended their advantage to 42-33 on a pair of Garrett Stutz free throws at the 12:29 mark. MSU fought back to pull within 44-38 on a three-pointer by Chris Cooks with 8:41 to go, but the Shockers scored the game’s next seven points to lead 51-38 and were never threatened again down the stretch. MVC All-Freshman selection Kyle Weems scored the Bears’ final field goal of the season on a break-away dunk with just over a minute to go. He finished with a career-high 20 points to go with five rebounds and a perfect 4-for-4 effort at the free throw line. Weems, who scored 16 in the first half, was the only Missouri State player in double figures. Will Creekmore, an MVC All-Bench Team selection, recorded 10 boards off the bench. Seniors Chris Cooks and Spencer Laurie had six and five points, respectively, while classmate Wade Knapp fouled out with four points in just nine minutes. Wichita State (16-15) was led by freshman Toure’ Murry’s 16 points, while Ramon Clemente added 12. The Shockers, who advance to play secondseeded Creighton in Friday’s quarterfinals, committed just six turnovers in the game and outrebounded the Bears 38-34. WSU, the league’s worst free-throw shooting team statistically, made 18-of-21 (.857) charity shots, while hitting at a 41.3 percent clip from the field. In the first half, Weems scored MSU’s first seven points as the Bears built a 9-6 lead in the early. After WSU took its first lead on a bucket by Clemente at the 7:51 mark, the Bears stormed back on a basket by Weems and layup by Ryan Jehle to recapture a three-point advantage, 18-15. Murry then led the Shockers on a 13-4 run to lead 28-22 with a three-pointer and a couple clutch free throws en route to a 30-26 halftime advantage. The 2008-09 campaign marked MSU’s first losing season in eight years and just the 15th losing campaign in school history. The game also marked the Bears’ earliest ever departure in the MVC Tournament.

Administrators The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions. One of the biggest achievements for The Valley is the increasing notoriety of the State Farm Men’s Basketball Championship, which continually ranks as one of the nation’s top attended championship basketball tournaments. Notably, in March of 2010, the conference will celebrate the tournament’s 20th anniversary in St. Louis.

Missouri Valley Conference generating vehicle and The Valley’s most visible marketing tool. During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longesttenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. This continuing involvement of the MVC in hosting NCAA events represents one of the most concentrated stretches of host opportunities for any university or conference in the 70-plus year history of the national championship tournament. In 2010, the Missouri Valley will host an NCAA men’s basketball regional, while The Valley has hosted three Final Fours this decade (women’s events in 2001 and 2009, and the Men’s Final Four in 2005). The league had previously hosted men’s regionals in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2007; and a men’s first/second round event in 2002. Additionally, Creighton and The Valley co-hosted a men’s basketball first and second round in 2008 in Omaha. And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progressive in pursuing NCAA events, it has continued to be a national leader in the athletic arena. And starting in 1995-96, the conference broke new ground by allowing league members to bid for hosting rights for select team sport championships. By establishing uniform host criteria, the conference is able to assist a host institution in a season-long promotional campaign and provide an avenue where hosts can acquire sponsors and achieve a profit for the event. The 2003-04 season was a landmark season for the conference as State Farm Insurance and the league came to terms on an agreement that provides State Farm with title sponsorship of all of the league’s 18 championships. The conference’s progressive marketing and in-house television package has helped open doors to regional and national sponsors outside of the realm of title sponsorships, as the league’s men’s basketball tournament sponsorship revenues continues to reach all-time highs. Meanwhile, the league has been progressive in other areas, as it has taken its merchandise program in-house, while offering e-commerce solutions for league apparel, championship photography and a conference-wide videostreaming package. The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907. The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted. In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball. While The Valley no longer sponsors football (it did from 190785), six league members compete in football at the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) level as Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa and Southern Illinois play in the ninemember Missouri Valley Football Conference (with North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Western Illinois and Youngstown State). That league competed as the Gateway Conference from 1985-2007. Drake plays non-scholarship football in the Pioneer Football League. This season, the league will conduct its 99th outdoor track and field championship, its 92nd tennis championship, its 56th baseball tournament, and its 72nd golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (51 years), indoor track (43), soccer (19) and swimming and diving (16), have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Conference as one of the most

respected conferences nationally. Athletic accomplishments on the men’s athletics side include 10 national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qualifiers. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) in women’s basketball, while MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance, and Creighton (2003), Drake (1999) and Illinois State (2009) have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament. Indeed, the inclusion of women’s programs under The Valley banner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference -which began in 1982 -- merged with the Missouri Valley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conference on July 1, 1992. And while the inclusion of women’s sports under a comprehensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league’s storied history, over the years, Valley student-athletes and coaches have become household names during the league’s illustrious history, both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professional careers. In fact, The Valley began honoring that tradition in the summer of 1997, when the conference began its athletics Hall of Fame. Hersey Hawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State, Wes Unseld of Louisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State, Dave Stallworth of Wichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis, and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati were members of the initial induction class. Currently, nearly 40 former players, coaches and alums dot the league’s Hall of Fame. Men’s basketball, perhaps, has the league’s most storied tradition with the likes of Hall of Famers Bird and Robertson, but The Valley has also produced national-caliber student-athletes in its other sponsored sports. In 2001, Missouri State’s Jackie Stiles became the first Valley woman to earn the Honda-Broderick Cup, given to the nation’s top female collegiate student-athlete. In the sport of track and field, Indiana State’s Holli Hyche captured seven national sprint titles in the early 1990s, Southern Illinois’ Darrin Plab won back-toback NCAA outdoor high jump titles in 1991 and 1992, SIU’s Brittany Riley became the World record holder in the weight throw in 2007. And Kylie Hutson of Indiana State swept both the indoor and outdoor pole vault titles in 2009. In the fall of 1997, Creighton’s Johnny Torres was named the collegiate male soccer player of the year for a second-straight year, while SMU’s Luchi Gonzalez (2001) and Tulsa’s Ryan Pore (2004) have also earned a National Player of the Year honor in men’s soccer. Meanwhile league member Wichita State has produced three national collegiate players of the year in baseball, including Joe Carter (1981), Phil Stephenson (1982) and Darren Dreifort (1993). From its early beginning to its current standing on the map of college athletics, The Valley will always continue to be proactive in its approach. League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is an affiliate member in men’s soccer, while Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville begin affiliate men’s soccer membership in 2010.

Missouri Valley Conference MVC Tourney Buzzer Beaters Involving MSU 1992: A three-pointer from deep in the right corner by the Bears’ Andre Rigsby in the closing seconds of regulation play gained MSU a tie in the Bears’ Missouri Valley semifinal test with Illinois State. MSU prevailed 61-58 in overtime and went on to beat Tulsa the next night for the Bears’ only MVC tourney championship to date. 1994: Sixth-seeded MSU, with only nine players available in the tournament, battled third seed Southern Illinois on even terms for 40 minutes, and it took a jumper from 18 feet on the right wing as time expired by SIU’s Chris Lowery, the current SIU coach, to give the Salukis a 52-50 win. 1996: In perhaps the most memorable finish in the history of the MVC Tourney in St. Louis, Bradley’s Deon Jackson chased a loose ball beyond the top of the circle and flung it over his shoulder as time expired. The ball fell in after the horn to wipe out a 62-61 MSU lead and give the Braves a 64-62 semifinal win over the Bears. 1997: Fate fell in the Bears’ favor as they met the Bradley Braves in the semifinals again. This time Bradley had a one-point lead as time wound down and it was a deep three-pointer by Coleco Buie of MSU with six seconds left that gave MSU a 60-58 triumph and propelled the Bears into the championship game. 1999: MSU got off the hook in a quarterfinal test against Indiana State as the Sycamores missed three free throws in the closing minute of regulation play and a chance to lock up a victory. The Bears’ William Fontleroy let loose with a 25-footer that swished through with a half second remaining to tie the contest at 69-69 and sent the game into overtime, where MSU prevailed 79-78 in the extra period as Kevin Ault put MSU ahead to stay with a three with 1:21 left in the extra period.

Records and History
Annual Team and Opponent Statistics Missouri State 100-Point Games The Bears have scored 100 or more points 38 times, most recently during the 2006-07 season when the Bears punched up a 106-54 win over Evansville. The team's 110 points vs. Troy in 2004-05 marked the highest point total ever for a Missouri State team in Hammons Student Center. The building record of 124 points was set by Centenary against Morgan State in the 1991 Price Cutter Classic. The Bears closed out their home slate in 2004-05 with a 105-82 romp over Rice in the NIT, the first time the Bears had ever reached 100 points in a postseason game. The Bears topped 100 in both games of the 1995-96 Price Cutter Classic, marking the first time in 27 seasons the Bears had two 100-point games in a row. Missouri State opponents have hit the century mark 11 times against the Bears. The Bears’ 130-106 win over Central Missouri in McDonald Arena in 1975 is the only time Missouri State has given up 100 points in a game at home and also the only time the Bears have won a game in which they allowed 100 points. The 1974-75 campaign also saw the most 100-point games recorded by Missouri State in a season (4). The Bears last hit the century mark in scoring in a road game at Evansville in 1968-69. 100-Point Games by Missouri State (38): MSU 106, Missouri S&T 67, 2/10/53 at Rolla, Mo.

Intercollegiate Athletics Mission Statement Missouri State University is committed to an intercollegiate athletics program which complements the mission of the University and operates in accordance with the principles and regulations of the National College Athletic Association. As a member of various athletics conferences, Missouri State is committed to academic and athletics excellence, sound fiscal management practices, enhancement of the physical and educational welfare of student-athletes, equal opportunity, character development, principles of amateurism, and the fundamental values of sportsmanship, civility and the common virtue of good citizenship.
MSU Student-Athlete Code of Conduct Introduction Student-athletes at Missouri State University are representatives of their teams, the Department of Athletics and the University. It is a privilege, not a right, to be a member of an intercollegiate athletics program. It has many benefits, but student-athletes receive a higher level of interest from the public and the media. That attention means studentathletes have a responsibility to be positive and effective members of their program, the University and the Department of Athletics. As a member of an athletics program, student-athletes are expected to demonstrate the pillars of good character by displaying integrity, honesty, respect for others and good sportsmanship in all academic, athletic and social activities. Additionally, student-athletes are to abide by all University policies, Athletic Department, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and conference rules and regulations, as well as city, county, state and federal laws and standards of behavior. The Student-Athlete Code of Conduct is an Athletic Department policy that applies to all student-athletes including those that are not actively competing in their sport. The standards and expectations set forth apply at all times: in season, out of season, on or off campus, and on and off the playing field. Sanctions will be applied for violation of this Code. Student-athletes have an obligation to report Code of Conduct violations to their Head Coaches or the Faculty Athletics Representative as soon as possible. Student-athletes who do not conform to this Code may be subject to greater consequences for misconduct that is not reported or that involves multiple or repeat violations. The Head Coach or Faculty Athletics Representative who learns of a Code of Conduct violation shall report same to the Athletic Director within 24 hours. A written copy of the Student-Athlete Code of Conduct will be provided to studentathletes annually. It will also be included in the Student-Athlete Handbook and will be available online at the missouristatebears.com website.
