"We're definitely piecing some things together and showing progress," head coach Jordan Fife said. "We need a little more consistency and a little more intensity over the next few weeks to be where we should be by conference."
 
The Bears will head back to the familiar scenery of Missouri for the Missouri Invitational on Feb. 7.
