INDIANA STATE NOTES | MISSOURI STATE NOTES
 
NOTES

• The Series: Indiana State and Missouri State meet for the 81st time on Sunday with MSU holding a 62-18 advantage in the series. MSU won the first matchup this season on January 24, 76-55, in Terre Haute.
• A Win Would: A win on Sunday would end a 13-game losing skid to the Lady Bears and give the Sycamores their first win over Missouri State since Feb. 21, 2014. A victory would also give Vicki Hall her first win over the Lady Bears as the Indiana State head coach.
• Hitting the Boards: ISU can boast themselves as one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Trees have pulled down 317 offensive boards (the second-most in the Valley) in 26 games, giving them an average of 12.2 per-game which is the third-best number in the Valley. Jamyra McChristine leads the blue and white with 6.3 rebounds per game, ninth in the Valley.
• Getting to the Line: Indiana State manages to get to the free throw line more than almost anyone else in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Sycamores have taken 500 attempts at the line this season, second only to Missouri State's 533, and converted on 304, the seventh-most made free throws in the Valley. The flip-side is that the Trees own the worst percentage at the charity stripe in the league, hitting at a clip of 60.8%.
• Streak Broken: The Sycamores shocked the Valley on Thursday evening, taking down Northern Iowa in the Hulman Center, 65-63 after trailing by eight in the fourth quarter. It was Indiana State's first win over the Panthers since March 8, 2014 when ISU earned an 85-72 victory in Cedar Falls. The victory also speaks to the improvement that the Trees have made throughout the season, as UNI defeated ISU in Cedar Falls in January by 30 points.
