The winner of Wednesday's contest will advance to the second round of the NIT to take on the winner of Missouri State and Murray State.
"Missouri State’s basketball season will continue for at least another game.
Jermaine Mallett scored a career-high 23 points as the Bears beat Murray State 89-76 tonight in a first-round National Invitation Tournament game before 5,089 fans at JQH Arena."
