The ceremony to unveil a statue of assistant women’s basketball coach and NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer Jackie Stiles will take place on Feb. 12 outside JQH Arena.
The public is invited to gather on the southeast side of Missouri State’s basketball arena at 1:15 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.
The unveiling begins a full day of basketball activities at The Q, as the MSU men will host UNI at 3 p.m. before the Lady Bears take on Evansville at 7 p.m. Both games will feature $1 hot dogs and $1 bottled Coca Cola products at the concession stands, while the women’s game will have $1 lower bowl tickets available in select sections.
Separate tickets are required for each game as the arena will be cleared between contests. Game day parking protocol will be in effect all day.
Fans are encouraged to order their $1 Lady Bears 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.
