A look at Missouri State men’s basketball’s 2024-25 roster under head coach Cuonzo Martin
Missouri State men’s basketball appears to have a full roster ahead of the 2024-25 season after a busy few months for head coach Cuonzo Martin since retaking over the program.
As of Wednesday morning, Martin appears to have 13 filled scholarships with a balance of juniors, sophomores and freshmen along with two who enter the season with one final year of eligibility.
More players could commit to the Bears in the coming weeks with no penalty. The Bears will need to be down to 13 scholarship players by the fall semester.
