The Lady Bear Necessities
- Missouri State women's basketball hits the road for the first time this season with a Saturday night (8 p.m. CT) matchup at Wyoming. Mo State is coming off a 37-point, 77-40, victory over SEMO on Monday night. It marked the fewest points the Lady Bears had allowed in a season opener since 2000-01.
- Mo State and Wyoming have met just once in the programs' histories - a 2024 matchup in Springfield that the Lady Bears won 62-50. Bekemeier had 15 points and 8 rebounds while Douglas scored 6 points in the previous meeting.
- The Lady Bears are coming off a 23-13 season in which they captured the Conference USA Tournament title in their first year in the league and advanced to the program's 18th NCAA Tournament. Last season marked the program's 11th consecutive postseason appearance and ninth straight 20-win season.
- Missouri State is one of 11 active Division I progams with at least nine consecutive 20-win seasons (streak began in 2017-18). Mo State is the only one of those 11 programs to do so under the leadership of three different head coaches (Kellie Harper, Amaka Agugua-Hamilton and Beth Cunningham).
- Mo State brings back 76 percent of its scoring and 80 percent of its rebounding with its seven returners from last year's championship squad. Those seven returning members are paired with seven newcomers consisting of three transfers and four freshmen.
- Missouri State was tabbed the favorite in the Conference USA WBB Preseason Poll with eight first-place votes. The Lady Bears placed three players on the CUSA Preseason All-Conference Team in Kaemyn Bekemeier, Lainie Douglas and Maiesha Washington.
- Bekemeier (Sr., Republic, Mo.) was voted the CUSA Preseason Player of the Year and was recently named to the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Award preseason watch list. She is coming off a breakout campaign in which she averaged 17.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. In 2025-26, she pulled down the fourth-most rebounds (295) and scored the eighth-most points (627) in program history and ranked No. 2 in the nation in rebounds by a player 5-foot-9 or under.
- Douglas (Jr., Overland Park, Kan.) is coming off a stellar sophomore year in which she was named to the All-CUSA second team and the CUSA All-Tournament team. She averaged 13.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per game and led CUSA in FG% (.551) and blocks/game (1.5).
- Washington (So., Fayetteville, Ark.) averaged 7.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last year to earn a spot on the CUSA All-Freshman Team. Her 284 points were the most by a Mo State freshman since the 2023-24 season and second-most since 2018-19.
