SPRINGFIELD -- Missouri State will have a full day of activities honoring assistant women's basketball coach Jackie Stiles on Nov. 28, highlighted by the unveiling of a statue of the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer early that afternoon.

The public is invited to gather on the southeast side of JQH Arena at 12:45 p.m., between the main entrance and the Jim D. Morris Basketball Complex, in preparation for the bronze likeness to be revealed for the first time.

Additionally, $1 tickets in select sections of the lower bowl will be available for the Lady Bears' home opener that night, $1 hot dogs and Coke products will be on sale at the concession stands, and Stiles will be recognized during a halftime ceremony that will feature video highlights of her career as well as the statue revealing from the afternoon. Tip time against Little Rock is set for 7 p.m.

Fans are encouraged to order their $1 tickets by phone at 417-836-7678 or in person at the Old Missouri Bank ticket windows inside JQH Arena, either the day of the game or weekdays from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Parking for the afternoon ceremony will be available in Lot 25 south of Hammons Student Center.

Stiles enjoyed one of the greatest playing careers in women's basketball history at Missouri State, culminating with the program's second Final Four appearance in 2001.

As a senior, Stiles was named a first-team All-American by Kodak and the Associated Press, and was the Women's Basketball News Service Player of the Year after finishing her collegiate career with 3,393 points, a record that still stands. Her 1,062 points that season remained the only 1,000-point season in Division I women's basketball history until 2014, and still sits atop the single-season scoring list. She also holds the No. 5 single game total with 56 in a March 2000 contest against Evansville.

Stiles was also named the Honda Awards program Player of the Year and was the recipient of the coveted Honda Awards Broderick Cup, as well as the Wade Trophy as a senior. A four-time Missouri Valley Conference first-team selection, Stiles earned MVC Player of the Year honors as a sophomore, junior and senior, and the award for the league's most outstanding player now bears her name.
