The game is slated for a 2:30 p.m. tip off Saturday and will air on ESPN2.
Missouri State finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 16-2 record in the league and won the MVC tournament Sunday against Drake.
The Lady Bears made Final Four appearances in the NCAA Tournament in 1992 and 2001 and made it to the Sweet Sixteen in 1993.
