After a long off-season, head coach Dennis Gates and his Missouri Tigers are finally ready to get the season underway, starting with a road matchup versus Howard.
The Bison finished the 2024-25 campaign with a 12-20 record, featuring an even, 7-7 conference record. They closed the year seventh in the Mid-Eastern Conference.
The team is very young, but lost some of their talent in this offseason. Freshman guard Blake Harper transferred to Creighton after a 2024-25 season that saw him put up 20 points, six rebounds, and over three assists a night.
The guard brought home the MEAC Player and Rookie of the Year, which has never been done simultaneously in the program's 54-year history.
