It’s the first action for the Panthers since their dominating 73-44 win over Southwest Baptist in the Bank of Bolivar HIghway 13 Catfight at The O’ on November 13. Alex Hall scored 30 points and Ian Carter added 12 points and 7 rebounds to lead the Panthers past the Bearcats. Drury outscored SBU 39-13 in the second half to break open a tight game.

Smith is averaging a team-leading 15.3 points for coach Terry Evans’ squad, while June Carter, a 6-7 senior, is adding 13.7 points and a team-high 7.7 rebounds. The Bronchos (15-11 last season) are first-year members of the MIAA, where they were picked to finish seventh in the 15-team league in the coaches poll. SCOUTING THE ARKANSAS TECH WONDER BOYS Arkansas Tech will bring an 0-1 mark into the Classic and their Friday (1 p.m.) opener vs. UMSL.
