Missouri State's and Wichita Heights product Gavin Thurman led all the scoring with 21 points.
Missouri State put together a 19-0 run, stemming from the end of the first half to four minutes into the second half to drop the Shockers in a hole that, until Cleanthony Early stopped it with a three-point shot, looked like it would never end.
Wichita State did their own damage with a 13-0 run following to go back up six points on the Bears where they stayed the rest of the game.
The Shockers host Bradley on Saturday.
