Missouri State is moving on in the NCAA Tournament after an 85-75 win over Stephen F. Austin in the First Four. The Lady Bears got a huge night from Kaemyn Bekemeier, who finished with 22 points and 13 rebounds, while Lainie Douglas added a double-double of her own. Missouri State took control in the third quarter with a 13-0 run and never looked back, locking things down defensively in the fourth to close it out. Five players scored in double figures as the Lady Bears pick up their 20th NCAA Tournament win in program history. Up next: a big challenge awaits on Friday against top-seeded Texas.
