Missouri State Athletics is buzzing with updates across multiple sports! Corey Riggs joins The Starting lineup to weigh in. The Bears basketball team is battling a tough five-game losing streak, but don't let the record fool you, these are nail-biting, one-possession games proving their resilience. Meanwhile, the Lady Bears are seeking momentum for their upcoming conference tournament, with star players like Laney Douglas stepping up in critical moments. But the conversation isn't just about on-court action; it delves into the broader landscape of college sports, from low attendance challenges in competitive markets to controversial officiating calls that could swing a game.

Beyond the hardwood, the Baseball Bears showed grit in competitive losses at Ole Miss, with promising pitching leading the way into their home opener against a rival Oral Roberts team with a score to settle. Plus, the new Football coaching staff is already making waves, implementing a "pro-style" approach to practices, even as conference realignment throws college football schedules into chaos. Get the inside scoop on the fight for postseason bids, the future of the football season, and why every game (and practice!) matters for Missouri State.
