Hear about legendary figures like Bob Zimmermann, whose impromptu decision gave an entire high school a day off, and Curt Brand, whose athletic legacy at Missouri State extended to his children and even their spouses. The conversation also highlights Alize Johnson's candid decision to pursue an overseas basketball career, balancing passion with family support, and Kyle Weems' powerful tribute to mentor Conzo Martin.

Beyond the accolades, the focus shifts to current campaigns, including the Baseball Bears' crucial series against SEC powerhouse Ole Miss — a vital opportunity to bolster their resume in the competitive Conference USA. Discover how the coaching staff is meticulously defining pitching roles and keeping the bullpen fresh for the season ahead. On the hardwood, the Men's Basketball Bears face a must-win home game against a Kennesaw State team transformed by a key suspension, while the Lady Bears eye critical "get-right" matchups to regain momentum and prepare for the late season push.
