This meeting between Indiana State and Missouri State will be the final matchup in MVC play between the two teams, as MSU is heading to Conference USA next season. 

The Bears have gotten the better of Indiana State in throughout the years, with MSU holding a 54-31 series record. When playing in Terre Haute, Indiana State leads 21-17.

In the first meeting this season, the Sycamores escaped Springfield with a victory, 80-77, winning for only the eighth time when in Springfield (an 8-33 record). Samage Teel (23) and Jaden Daughtry (20) were the only two Sycamores to score more than eight points in the game; all eight other Sycamores who appeared in the game all scored but recorded seven points or fewer. Teel shot 9-for-12 from the floor, recording a near triple-double with seven rebounds and nine assists. Daughtry finished 9-of-14. The team shot 57.1% from the field and 37.0% from deep.

One team will snap their winning drought, as Indiana State (9-12, 3-7 MVC) has dropped seven straight as opposed to MSU's (12-8, 6-3) nine-game skid. The Bears are the only team left in the league to pick up an MVC win.

Last Wednesday for Indiana State, despite trailing by only three points midway through the second half, the Sycamores fell to Northern Iowa at home 74-56. Markus Harding led the scoring for Indiana State with 16 points on 6-for-13 shooting from the floor, including a 4-for-7 effort from three, grabbing eight rebounds. Aaron Gray notched 11 points and four rebounds with no turnovers in almost 31 minutes on the court. Jaden Daughtry scored 10 points.

Following Wednesday night's game, Indiana State heads to Chicago on Saturday, February 1 to face the Flames of UIC, with the tip set for 3 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
