Bears Get Ready to Wait

Creighton beat Southern Illinois Sunday in the MVC Tournament title game, and that may be big for the Missouri State Bears, who, Saturday night, lost to the Blue Jays by 17 points in the tournament semi-final game.

Even with 22 wins, one coming over a very good Wisconsin team, it will be a long seven days until the Bears find out their post-season fate.

Selection Sunday is this weekend, at 5 pm, and you can see it right here on KOLR-10.

Barry Hinson/Bears Head Coach: "Creighton doesn't have to wait now. Southern Illinois doesn't have to wait now. We have to wait these 8 days, and we deserve that after the way we played today."

Blake Ahearn/Bears Senior: "After what happened last year, you can't think for the committee, you can just rely on what you've done, we've had some good wins."

Hinson:"I will say this, I feel better this year than I did last year."
