Bears Notes and Notables:

 The Bears are playing in their first national tournament championship game since 1974 when they lost 67-52 to Morgan State in the NCAA Division II finals.

 Missouri State has extended its longest season ever to 36 games. Three previous teams -- 1986-87 (28-6), 1990-91 (22-12) and 1999-2000 (23-11) -- played 34 games.

 Adam Leonard has 101 three-pointers in 2009-10, a Missouri State season record. Last Wednesday, he became the fifth MVC player to hit the century mark in a season and first since Jeremy Crouch of Bradley hit 118 in 2007-08. Leonard's personal season-high is 104 set during his freshman season at Eastern Kentucky in 2006-07. He also owns the MSU season record for three-point attempts with 256 and counting (the fourth-best total in MVC history).

 The Bears have achieved 20 wins for the 14th time in their Division I era (1982-83 to present) and are seeking their 24th win of the season. Only one other team in MSU history, the 1986-87 Bears of Charlie Spoonhour (28-8) has more than 24 wins in a season. Three other squads have notched 24 victories -- 1968-69 (24-5), 1985-86 (24-8), and 1996-97 (24-9) .

 The Bears have outrebounded or matched 28 of their 35 opponents this season, including 18 of their last 20 foes (nine in a row). MSU also has posted double-figure offensive rebounds in 16 of its last 20 contests.

 Only one Division I teams -- Kansas (19-0) has won more home games than the Bears (18-2) this season. The Bears' 18 home wins is tied with Kentucky for second nationally. Just one previous MSU team has won 18 home games in a season -- the 1986-87 squad (18-1).

 The 2009-10 Bears have broken school records for three-pointers (247) and three-point attempts (673).

 At 23-12, the Bears are 11 games over the .500 mark for the first time since they were 12-1 after beating Illinois State on New Year's Day.

 Of the Bears' 12 losses this season, nine have come by single-digits, including seven losses by 4 points or less, and two in OT. The team's two home losses are by a combined 4 points.

 Adam Leonard and Kyle Weems now hold the MSU single-season record for three-pointers by teammates. The pair has combined for 172 treys, surpassing the previous record of 144 set by Blake Ahearn (94) and Tyler Chaney (50) in 2006-07.
