SMS Will Host Women’s Tourney Again

Southwest Missouri State will host the Missouri Valley Conference women’s basketball tournament in 2001, for the second year in a row, and the sixth time in eight years. In 1996 and 1999 the tournament was held at Drake University. Drake has won the MVC tourney the last three times it has been held at SMS. The Missouri Valley’s men’s tournament will return to Kiel Center in St. Louis in 2001.
