Previewing the Matchup: Missouri State

• Evansville and Missouri State are meeting for the 60th time in series history with the Lady Bears owning a 45-14 advantage in the all-time series.
• Last season, Evansville and the Lady Bears met twice inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse with the visitors capturing a pair of wins in the final weekend of the regular season.
• The Lady Bears sit 35th in NET rankings, the second-highest ranked opponent for UE this season behind Iowa, who is currently 23rd.
• The Aces will be playing just their third home game since December 11 after playing six of their last eight games on the road.

Importance of Free Throws

• Thursday's contest pits two of the top 60 teams in the nation in getting to the line. Evansville is 38th in NCAA DI in free throw trips and the Lady Bears are not far behind in 58th.

Efficiency for Je'Naiya

• Through just 11 games in her Aces career, junior Je'Naiya Davis has made her name known for her ability to score from just about anywhere.
• But what many may not know about Davis is she has been incredibly efficient in scoring from all three levels.
• Davis is shooting 43.7% from the field this season, the third best percentage for the Aces and best by a pure guard.
