COMMENT FROM HEAD COACH ASHLEEN BRACEY

"The tale of tough halves. Obviously really proud of how we came out of the locker room in the second half. With a team like Missouri State, they came out on fire, shooting 65 percent in the first half and made it tough on us. We weren't able to have enough fire power to make that push in the end. You got to be proud of a team that doesn't quit down 20 coming out of the locker room. I kind of wish they understood their capabilities before we took that court today, because I think it would have been a different outcome. Credit to Missouri State, an incredible program that has done a great job…. Coach of the Year (Beth Cuningham) and that team is absolutely a Championship program and they live into their values and everything they do."
