Emporia State’s No. 9 football team is set to visit Missouri Southern after a 34-22 win over Missouri Western, while the Lions enter the matchup under coach Atiba Bradley, who is 0-5 against the Hornets. Missouri Southern is also looking toward basketball season: the women were picked third in both MIAA preseason polls, and the men were picked fourth by conference coaches after reaching last season’s conference tournament semifinals.
