It's the MOST wonderful time of the year!!

Today's post is written by Assistant Coach Marcus Moeller:

Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone. Final exams...same story. The Christmas song says it best, "It's the most wonderful time of they year". However, for college basketball players and coaches, the reason for this claim maybe a little bit different than what the song was talking about.

At Missouri Southern, the Spring semester begins January 17th. Our players arrived back on campus on Monday (December 27th). Between the day they arrived and the first day of the Spring semester there are 23 days that they get to play ball and not worry about their homework, tests, or quizzes. Although the campus is desolate (the men's and women's basketball teams are the only students back in the dorms), there is a certain bonding and camaraderie that takes place over this time. Our team will play 6 games during the next 23 days. At the conclusion of those 23 days we will have completed the entire first round of conference play (the MIAA plays a double round robin, each team playing every other team both at home and on the road).

This journey starts on Sunday Jan. 2nd at 2:00pm with a home contest against Pittsburg State. Game 1 of the Sonic Trophy Series game will be a very special one. That day is "Alumni Night" for our basketball program. We are very excited to have some of our alumni returning with their family and friends! Another exciting event taking place that day is the official announcement and presentation of the establishment of the Brenda Pitts-Jennings Endowment Scholarship. In addition, Brenda's name will forever be the name of our lockerroom.

We are so very grateful to all of our loyal fans and can't wait to see you out at the game on Sunday. With all of the "extra" events surrounding the game, don't forget that we are in hot pursuit of the top spot in our conference and riding a 4 game winning streak!! We look forward to seeing you at the Leggett and Platt Athletic Center on Sunday!

See what I mean, now? It's the most wonderful time of the year!!

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!

Merry Christmas!

Today's post is written by Assistant Coach Marcus Moeller:

What a ride we have been on these last 3 weeks. I cannot describe the energy and excitement that has been circulating around our program. Lindsey, in last week's blog post, did a GREAT job of giving you an overall picture of how our season has gone, so I will just pick up where she left off. At the time Lindsey wrote, we had just beat Lincoln University to raise our record to 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the MIAA.

This week was a LONG week of preparation. There are very few times during the conference season that we get to have more than 2 practices before we play our next game. However, with a Wednesday "bye", we had plenty of time to prepare for our final game of the first semester, a road contest at Southwest Baptist University (SBU). We took Sunday and Monday off to ensure that our players had ample time to prepare for a week of final exams and then we got back on the practice floor on Tuesday. We had 4 practice days to get ready for Saturday and try to finish the semester on a high note.

One area we have talked a lot about as a team, is the amount of experience that has returned from last year's team. I thought our experience was very evident on Tuesday and Wednesday. Often times, too many days of prep can really do a number on the focus of a team. Tuesday and Wednesday (a normal "game day" for us) have the capability to turn into lack-luster practices with little energy. It was very obvious that our players took the practice floor ready to compete, improve, and prepare for Saturday's game. After 4 days of very good practices we felt ready to go on the road, and compete very hard to win a basketball game.

Saturday's game at SBU was one of those games that a lot of people close to this basketball family will remember for a long time. Harold and Lena Mitts (Coach Mitts' parents) once again provided the backing for the "MOSO Spirit Bus" to head to Bolivar. Packed with fans, the bus met us in Bolivar and gave us great support! Many other Southern fans also followed the team to Bolivar and cheered us on and gave us an immense lift on the road.

In what proved to be a phenomenal game, we came out on top with a 69-66 win!! You can read all the details of the game HERE. With the win we hiked our record to 6-3 overall and 4-1 in the MIAA. After all the other league games played out over the weekend, we now find ourselves in a tie for 2nd place!! We have now won 4 in a row and 6 of our last 7. The level of energy, intensity and competitiveness that our team has shown has been the biggest key to our success.

In a holiday season that should be all about giving, we want to give you our sincerest "thank you". There are a lot of teams out there that are simply a collection of individuals trying to work together to put a leather ball in an iron hoop. However, thanks to so many of you, our program truly is a family. We are blessed with so many things and it is only right that we take a step back in this season and remember to be grateful. So, from our family to yours, please have a safe and very Merry Christmas!!

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!

Winning 5 of our last 6 games!!

Today's post is written by Lindsey Rujawitz:

Hey bloggers!! Man, how the time flies! Last time I wrote for our blog I was a junior and now I am a big senior. The conference season is well underway and great things are happening with our family here at Southern.

As a recap of our early non-conference schedule, we opened up with Arkansas Fort Smith at their house and we showed some great character as a team being down big and making a furious comeback to eventually lose by 2. The next game on the schedule was ta op-10 nationally ranked opponent, Northeastern State University. The game proved difficult as we were unable to get the win....0-2 to start the year :( They say that life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you respond to it. It was time for us to respond.

The next week consisted of some very pointed film sessions and some GREAT practices as we prepared for our Thanksgiving Classic!! We had gone back to the practice floor determined to make good on our goal of winning 20 ball games this year. The tournament was a great kickoff to getting us going in the right direction as we got two great home wins. Back to 2-2 and headed in the right direction!!

Conference play was next up and we knew we had to play well to get off on the right foot! As you all well know, the MIAA conference is an exciting race from beginning to end. The preseason polls picked us 6th and we are determined to show that we were deserving of much higher. After falling to Truman to open the conference season on the road, we had a "players only" meeting and reminded everyone of 2 things...1.) We have 5 seniors on our team, 2.) We have 8 people that know our system because they are returners from last year!! We then laid out some of the things that had to change in order for us to get where we want to go.

The next 3 games (Central Missouri, Missouri Western and Lincoln) for us were all at home. This was a chance for us to have our home crowd supporting us as we righted the ship and really got back to Missouri Southern basketball. As a team we made a complete turnaround. After beating Central Missouri, Missouri Western and Lincoln University, we now sit 3-1 in conference and 3rd in our league!! We not only made a complete turnaround but we have also had 6 different Lions (Jasmine, Erin, Michelle, Larrita, Kelby, and Me) set their career high scoring marks this year!!

FINALS WEEK!! We are finishing up Final Exams this week and then we play at Southwest Baptist University on Saturday! It is imperative that both academically and athletically, we finish this semester strong!! As a senior I could not ask for anything more for my last year. As a team we really are a true family and we have all formed great relationships on and off the court. As far as basketball is concerned, naturally I want this year to finish with a bang!! We look forward to working everyday as hard as we can toward our goal of playing with an abnormal energy level and passion!! We can't wait to have you along for the ride with us!!

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!

A season dedicated to Mike Hedgecock

Today's post is written by Assistant Coach Marcus Moeller:

Typically, the picture we use for each blog is a representation of the writer of this week's blog post; however, this week is an exception. I had planned to ask Junior Forward Michelle Hedgecock (pictured right) to write a post about the driving force behind the extra importance of this basketball season. I was excited for her to share with you about the person that she has dedicated this season to...but I got beat to the punch. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jim Henry (Sports Editor at the Joplin Globe) for the only gameday article that has ever brought the Missouri Southern Women's Basketball Family to tears.

Please enjoy this article entitled: MSSU's Hedgecock finding her 'why'

So much to be thankful for!!

Today's post is written by sophomore guard Kelby Fritz:

Finally, my first (and hopefully not my last) blog of the year... so here we go!!

So many things come to mind when i first think of Thanksgiving! I think of Thanksgiving BREAK from a student perspective!! :) Of course i think of FOOD...LOTS OF FOOD....AMAZING FOOD. I think of spending time with family. I think of the time i have to rejoice & reflect on EVERYTHING God has gracefully placed in my Life! I have learned growing up that tomorrow is never promised, as well as to never take things for granted. Thanksgiving day is a reminder to everyone about how thankful we should be for life itself.

As far as Thanksgiving goes for our basketball program it goes a little like this: An AMAZING Thanksgiving Feast on Thanksgiving Day, along with 2 GREAT wins for the Lady Lions on Friday & Saturday! I found myself on Thanksgiving surrounded by not only my family (mom, dad, brother, grandparents, & cousins), but also my basketball family (my teammates & coaches) & some of their families as well!! Since I only live 50 miles from Joplin in Vinita, Oklahoma, we decided to invite everyone over to enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner since some of the girls live far away! It was a great opportunity to have everyone there together relaxing & having a great time as well as preparing for what was in store for us as a team the next couple days.

Getting down to business we kicked off the weekend with a 71-46 win over Avila on Friday & another win, 67-61 over Evangel University. We talked a lot about how we had a business trip to accomplish during our tournament. This business trip mentality lead us to 2 wins!

With our non-conference schedule now over, we are looking forward to kicking off conference play!! We open up this Wednesday in Kirksville, MO against Truman State Univ. We are all very excited to get started & head into conference play! Our first home conference game is Dec. 4th against Central Missouri & I hope to see you there!

As for us....It's time to get down to business =)

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!

Gameday on the road: High School vs College

Today's post is written by freshman forward Kalie Lucas:

As we got ready for our first road game at UA-Ft. Smith last week, I experienced something completely new for me...a college road trip! With the game being our first real game and our first road trip, I was in for a lot of new things. The biggest difference I have noticed so far from high school to college is the preparation. Whether for the game, the trip, the pre-game meal, post game meal, or even how we pack for the game...our coaches make sure we are prepared for everything!

The scouting reports that our coaches make are like nothing I have ever seen. The scouting report was full of information about the players on UA-Ft. Smith's team, all of the plays they would run and how they would guard our offenses. In high school we never had anything like that!! We spent so much time in the practices leading up to that game covering everything about their team. I loved knowing what they were going to run and seeing all of the things on our report actually happen during the game!! Another new thing for me was the pre-game shootaround. In high school, if we did shoot it was on our own, not organized or dressed out in practice gear like we do here. That was really different for me but it helped me begin to focus for the game several hours before we were supposed to actually play.

Once we were on the way and headed toward Fort Smith we stopped for a pre-game meal at Applebee's in Rogers, AR. The day before we had already given our food orders to Coach Jones so that when we arrived our food was coming out of the kitchen and headed for the table. It was crazy to be able to sit down with that many people and be in and out of their in 45 minutes! Because of that short meal, we got to Fort Smith in plenty of time to walk around the gym, relax and get ready for the game. I liked having a chance to really get a "feel" for the gym and the rims and the environment. The intensity was high all around and we seemed very focused and ready.
We struggled offensively from the start of the game. We turned the ball over too many times and didn't convert on our free throw opportunities. We dug ourselves a hole heading into halftime that had to find a way out of. The second half told a different story as we scored 8 straight points right away to put us where we needed to be to have a chance to win. After several runs by both teams, we finished the game on a furious comeback and fell just 2 points short. I was so proud of our fight at the end of the game. We played so hard the final 5 minutes and showed a tremendous amount of heart by the way we finished the game.

After the loss to Fort Smith, we have really focused on getting better in practice. I feel like we have had a very good 4 days of preparation for nationally ranked Northeastern State University (OK) who we play Monday night! Once again, the coaches have prepared us for everything that NSU is going to do, now we can't wait to go out and execute the gameplan!! Please come out and support us in our first home game of the year!!

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!

My last first game as a college athlete

Today's post is written by Senior guard, Jasmine Lovejoy:

My last stand with the sport I love has brought me to my senior year of basketball. This year has been full of excitement and some adversity that we have built on in a positive way. The beginning of my senior year has been the most wonderful experience of my basketball playing career. I am so fortunate to have the teammates and coaching staff that I have. It is obvious to me that this is quickly becoming a year I will never forget. Although we have faced some adversity, we have been able to find positives and grow and learn from these experiences. We have met these challenges head on, worked harder and come together as a team to get the job done.

We have done a lot of things as a team to continue to grow closer as a unit. One thing that sticks out in my mind took place on Halloween. Now this wasn't your typical Halloween night, because we spent the evening doing a canned food drive!! The event, set up by SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Council), was called "Trick or Treat, so others can eat". All the teams at Missouri Southern were asked to pick a particular area in Joplin and knock on doors and ask for canned food goods. The members of SAAC then delivered these canned food items to a homeless shelter to help them replenish their shelves. As a team we divided into 3 groups and hit the road through a local neighborhood. After over an hour of "Trick or Treating" we came back with 393 cans. It was a great time for us to grow closer as a team while getting to really do some good work for a GREAT cause.

In addition to things off the court, we have done A LOT on it as well!! The start of this year began with a 7 week long preseason that was the most mentally and physically demanding training I have ever been through. It consisted of running miles around the track on those daunted Friday mornings, enhanced weight workouts, sprint workouts, agilities, shooting drills, footwork drills, and groupwork (no more than 4 players on the court for 2 hours a week, per NCAA rules). All the work that we did during those 7 weeks was in preparation for the beginning of official practice on October 15th.

October 15th was the day that we took everything from groupwork and began to apply it to the framework of our team's system. As a team and individually we have worked on the very key fundamentals that will mold us into being a great team. Also for this past month, we have focused and placed a HUGE emphasis on the MOST IMPORTANT things to our success: making layups, making free throws, and limiting turnovers. We know that if we win the battle in those 3 areas, we will put ourselves in a great spot to be successful. We have challenged ourselves early this year with 2 very competitive scrimmages and an exhibition against the University of Arkansas. Those 2 scrimmages and the exhibition were a huge learning experience for our team. There were a lot of positives that we look to build on, but it also showed us the things that we must work daily to improve on.

Finally, after all of this work, we have come to GAME WEEK!!! This week we officially open our season with a Tuesday road contest at the University of Arkansas-Ft Smith and my last first game as a college athlete!! As a team, we are so excited to get our season underway!! To all of our fans: Thank you so much for your loyal and loving support. We lean so heavily on your support and your area GREATLY appreciated. For those of you who can't make it to the game, be sure to check out the radio broadcast through our website!

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!

What's on the horizon?

Today's post is written by Assistant Coach Marcus Moeller:

We have a reached an exciting time of the year! We have finished our scrimmage and exhibition schedule and now we are officially in preparation mode for the beginning of our competition season!! There is a ton of excitement in our locker room as we begin to prepare for our season opener, on the road at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith, next Tuesday, November 16th. We look forward to having a full week of practices in order to prepare to kick off our season.

This last week we competed at the University of Arkansas in an exhibition game. There were several positives that came out of the experience. We competed very hard for the first 16 minutes of the 1st half, but a tough final 4 minutes sent us to the locker room facing a 14 point deficit. After several impressive runs in the second half we were able to cut the lead under10 points on 2 separate occasions. We felt good about the way we competed and were able to identify several areas from the game that we needed to get back to practice and work on. Overall, we were grateful for the experience and felt it served as a good springboard into our season.

With our season opener being on the road on the 16th, we are thankful that we will return home for 3 consecutive non-conference games. Those games will all be played the week of Thanksgiving. Monday, November 22nd we play preseason nationally ranked Northeastern State University (OK). The following Friday in our very own Pizza Hut/Fairfield Inn Thanksgiving Classic we take on Avila University. To finish up the Classic on Saturday we take on Evangel University. That will wrap up our non-conference schedule because we dive into MIAA play on December 1st with a road tilt at Truman State University.

That's what is on the horizon for our team on the court, but what is on the horizon for this blog? We are excited to kickoff the section of our blog where you get to hear from our players! Over the next several weeks you will get to hear from some familiar faces and also get to meet some new ones. Our players always enjoy getting to use the blog as a chance to speak to all of you, so be sure to let them know when you read it!

Want to know who is writing next week? Well I can't tell you but here is your hint...this player provided one of the biggest highlights of last year when she drove the length of the floor and won a conference game with 2 crucial free throws after we trailed by 1 point!!

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!

"The Basketball Palace of Mid-America"

Today's post is written by Assistant Coach Marcus Moeller:


When I was 8 years old, the likes of Todd Day, Oliver Miller, and Corliss Williamson won a National Title for the University of Arkansas. Over the years I have seen so many Arkansas greats play. I also had the joy of watching childhood friend and teammate Steven Hill play his collegiate career in that building. I distinctly remember sitting courtside when Arkansas knocked off LSU and their deadly tandem of Glen "big baby" Davis and Tyrus Thomas. For all of the memories I have of watching games at Bud Walton Arena, I am sure that none will compare to getting to coach in it.


Wednesday we travel to Fayetteville, AR to take on the Arkansas LadyBacks in an exhibition game. Like many things in northwest Arkansas, the name of the arena bears the name of the Walton family. The Bud Walton Arena has hosted many basketball games that stick out in my mind. Growing up in Joplin, Bud Walton Arena became a familiar place to me and my friends as we took in many Razorbacks games. The gorgeous facility definitely lives up to its nickname, "The Basketball Palace of Mid-America".


As a team, we are very excited for the opportunity to play such a quality opponent. The SEC rivals the Big 12 for the best women's basketball conference in the country. We have worked extremely hard and we are ready for the challenge that awaits. 2 girls on our team are probably a little more excited than the rest. Michelle Hedgecock and Shatara Stone will be returning to their home state to play this game! Michelle from North Little Rock, AR and Shatara from Fort Smith have both expressed a naturaul excitement for the game.


This isn't the first time we have had the opportunity to play Arkansas. 3 years ago we played at Bud Walton Walton Arena and lost a very hard fought game by 4! Our goal is plain and simple for this game, go down and compete as hard as we can on EVERY SINGLE possession. We are looking forward to roaring with Lion Pride!! The short drive from Joplin will be a fun one...are you going to join us??


Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION

What does it take to be a LION?

Today's Post is written in Assistant Coach Tyrone Jones:

Recruiting is a very exciting process for the women’s basketball program. I love being able to sit down with prospects and their families and talk about what Missouri Southern has to offer. One thing we always stress to potential players and their parents is that we not only want to make them better basketball players, but more importantly, better people. So you may be asking yourself, what does it take to be a Lion? What kinds of things do they look for when they go to recruit players? There are 5 things that are crucial to being a member of our family.

(1.) TALENT: As a basketball team our main objective is to win games. In order to make that happen we have to make sure we have the best possible player for each position. Our goal is to train our players to be extremely skilled and talented basketball players.

(2.) WORK ETHIC: In this generation, "work" is often a four letter word. Getting to work is a gift. We are looking for players who are willing to work. Basketball is not a season-long sport; it is a year-long commitment. Players have to push themselves at weight lifting, individual work-outs, practice, and games. It is not the amount of time you spend in the gym, but the amount of work you get done that is important. Hard work is the foundation of this program.

(3.) TEACHABILITY: We all have something to learn. We have players come in from all different programs but when they come to Southern, it is imperative they learn the MOSO Way. Our players have to be open to constructive criticism and make improvements based on that criticism. The goal is to make the individual player better in order that the team as whole can reach its goals.

(4.) MOTIVATED: Every person is motivated in different ways. It is crucial that players be internally and externally motivated. As a coach, it is important to be able to motivate your players. Coach Mitts often says that it doesn’t matter how you are motivated….just that you can be motivated. As coaches, we push our players on and off the court every day, but their ability to motivate and push themselves will tell the story of their true success.

(5.) OVERACHIEVER: It is easy to be average; that’s why it’s called “average”. We strive to be above-average. In order to do so, we must be overachievers. In order to grow as a player and a person, you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone. You never know what you can achieve until you try. Being an overachiever means you’re willing to go those extra steps, to do those extra things you weren’t asked to do just because you know it will make you and your team better.

So, the next time you see someone from our staff out recruiting, you can rest assured that we are looking for players that have these 5 things. Once these players are a part of our program, it is crucial that they continue to display and push themselves in these 5 areas. Our best teams here at Southern have been full of players who excelled in all 5 areas.

Until next time…It’s a GREAT day to be a LION!!

Christmas in...October??

Today's post is written by Assistant Coach Marcus Moeller:

If you follow our twitter you know that I refer to Oct 14th as Christmas Eve, and October 15th as Christmas day. October 15th marks the start of official practice for NCAA schools country wide. There are several ways that October 15th functions like Christmas day for college coaches. Ho, Ho, Ho...Merry Christmas!

The first parallel between that glorious December holiday and October 15th is the sheer anticipation of the day. From the day after Thanksgiving, you can't avoid the music, the decor and smell of Christmas time. Many families even have a countdown calendar in their kitchen as they anxiously await that day. For us, the first day of school marks the beginning of that time. As soon as we start working with our players during individual work we begin to feel that October 15th is drawing near. You'll often hear things like "only 12 days till we start practice, are you ready?" The strength and conditioning workouts, the nicks and bruises and the sweaty laundry provide all the decor and smells to represent that the season is right around the corner!

Every family has their own traditions and rituals surrounding the Christmas holiday. My family has always opened our presents on Christmas Eve. My friend Joe's family wouldn't dream of doing something so outlandish, Christmas morning ONLY for them. College basketball programs are very similar. If you have flipped through sports channel recently, you might have noticed a 4-hour "Midnight Madness" special running over and over on ESPNU depicting a program's first practice as a team. A lot of school will host this "midnight madness" the night of October 14th. Technically they are allowed to practice at midnight, so they turn the evening into an event for the public, visiting recruits, and for the media. While several teams in our league have began opening their presents on Christmas Eve, we open our presents on Christmas day! Official practice opened for us on October 15th at 4pm.

The suspense of what is contained in those beautifully wrapped presents underneath the tree is almost unbearable. Santa's naughty or nice list oftens reflects whether you get coal or candy in your stocking. Essentially, Santa Clause says "you get what you deserve based on if you were a good little child this year". The beginning of the season shows the same thing to be true. It is VERY obvious who worked their tail off over the summer and throughout preseason, and who decided to coast and take it easy. As a staff we were so proud to watch our team find a ton of candy in their stockings on Christmas day this year!!

Finally, one of the greatest things about the Holidays is sharing that time with family and friends. Nothing is greater than the quality conversation and time spent together with loved ones. For us, October 15th was the same way. Our immediate family was so excited to look over and see that some of our extended family (Lionbackers Don Miller and Bob Laptad) had joined us for the day. Their interest and care for the members of our program is always so greatly appreciated. We couldn't imagine spending Christmas without them!!

So, you might be thinking, "well, if it's Christmas, where is my present?" Look no further. As a gift from our staff we would like to give you an awesome gift. We are giving you a voice. We want to know WHO you want to hear from on the blog and WHAT you want to hear about. E-mail me at moeller-m@mssu.edu by this Thursday (October 21st) and YOU will decide the author and topic of the next blog!! Merry Christmas in October for the Missouri Southern Women's Basketball Program!!

Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!

Preparing to prepare

This post is written by Sophomore Guard Erin Rice:

Hello everyone! Last Monday I was in Coach Hubbard’s office and one of my favorite Lionbackers, Don Miller, asked me why I haven’t written a blog this year. The first thing I did was look at Coach Moeller and said ‘Yeah Coach, why?’ So here I am this one is for you Don!

We just finished up our last full week of preseason and I must say it is way different as a sophomore. As a freshman last year I had no idea what to expect. The fear of the unknown was enough to scare me, but on top of that I had never worked so hard in my life! Basically, I was just like every other freshman entering college basketball. It was quite the eye opening learning experience. As I entered this year I was so much more confident because I knew what was coming and I had worked so hard in the summer to prepare my mind and body for our preseason workouts and I am happy to say this year is totally different. I feel so much more prepared for the MIAA.

The coaching staff has always done a great job of explaining the rigors and trials of the MIAA conference, but it’s hard to take those words to heart until you experience it firsthand. I have watched basketball in this leagues for a while now and I could tell from the stands that it was going to be very tough, but I had no idea it was going to be this TOUGH. Our league really brings out the best in the players and coaches. Any night off and you will lose. That is what is so GREAT about the MIAA!!!

I have now learned what I need to do every day to better prepare myself for a long season and a tough MIAA. I know that the faster and stronger players are the most successful in this league. Preseason is where these two important aspects are developed. Official team practice is right around the corner and I have never been more excited for it. Our whole team has been talking about how excited we are for practice to start!!! We hope you are excited as we are and we can’t wait to see you guys filling up the Leggett and Platt Athletic Center real soon!!


Until next time...It's a GREAT day to be a LION!!
