Obediah Church, Missouri State men's basketball team part ways

Missouri State senior Obediah Church's career as a Bear is over.

Missouri State officially announced Monday evening that the team and Church have officially parted ways.

“After several attempts to meet and talk, we still have some differences of opinion,” Bears head coach Dana Ford said in a release. ”We’re at the point where we need to move forward, and we certainly wish him the best.”

Church will remain on scholarship for the spring semester and is on track to finish his degree in May.

Church has been away from the team since the days before MSU's home victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Dec.
