MSU Lady Bears Season Ends With Loss To Stanford

The Missouri State University Lady Bears ended their season Sunday with a loss to Stanford in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Division 1 Tournament.  The final score was 89 to 62.

According to MSU, the team tied a school record for fewest losses in a season, posted the second-best winning percentage in school history, and, as a number five seed in the NCAA Tournament, tied the best seed ever in MSU’s 16 appearances on the road to the Lady Bears’ fifth Sweet 16 appearance.

Missouri State also set a school record with its plus-10.8 rebound margin for the season and allowed 57.2 points per game, the second-best defensive average in school history.
