Bears fans enjoyed time at “The Hangout” during the Missouri Valley Conference in St. Louis March 4 and 5. “The Hangout” offered a place for fans to gather, connect with friends, enjoy refreshments and prepare to cheer on the Bears. The Missouri State pep band, cheerleaders and Sugar Bears were on hand to rally school spirit before the basketball game. 

A retirement reception in honor of Athletic Director Bill Rowe was held at “The Hangout” on March 4. Photo highlights from Rowe’s 47 years with Missouri State Athletics lined the walls of “The Hangout” and friends, colleagues and former athletes came out to offer well wishes.
