The Missouri State Lady Bears open a six-game homestand Sunday when Arkansas (9-0) visits JQH Arena for a 2 p.m. tip.
   After spending the first month of the season almost exclusively on the road, the Lady Bears (2-6) will not play away from home against until Jan. 13, with the six consecutive home games serving as the school's longest in-season stretch without leaving home since the end of the 1990-91 campaign.
   Missouri State concludes non-conference play with home dates against North Texas (Dec. 17) and Middle Tennessee (Dec. 19), and begins the Missouri Valley Conference schedule Dec. 30 against UNI.
   Despite an 0-2 start to December, the Lady Bears still own a 52-30 (.634) post-November since Kellie Harper took over in 2013, including a 39-17 (.696) in such games the last two-plus seasons.
