Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011 will be a big day in central Springfield. The University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center will host the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony at 4 p.m. where 20 sports icons of Missouri will be honored. Two blocks south of the ceremony and shortly thereafter, the Missouri State men's basketball team plays defending Missouri Valley Conference champs Northern Iowa at 7 p.m. The Missouri Sports Hall of Fame changed the time of its ceremony to accommodate the Bears so sports fans can have an opportunity to attend both events.
