Since the last time the Bears qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 1999, they've benefited and been hurt by players transferring to and away from them.
Over the last 20 years, some of the best Missouri State players have come via transfer. There have also been a few who have left the Bears who have hurt the team, and the fanbase, more than others.
Here's a look at the top 10 transfers the Bears have added in the last 20 years along with five of the best players to get away since 1999.
