Missouri State Bears News

Trey Williams Jr. - Running it back with Bears Williams will return to Missouri State on 2026-27, per The Field of 68.

Impact Williams had a good freshman year with Missouri State, the kind that could have bigger programs come knocking via the transfer portal. Still, the freshman guard has elected to run it back and return to the Bears for his sophomore year. Williams averaged 9.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists and shot 37 percent from deep.

Antwan Burnett - Good to go Thursday Burnett is not on the availability report ahead of Thursday's game versus Western Kentucky.

Impact Burnett, who did not play in Saturday's loss at Sam Houston for undisclosed reasons, does not appear on the team's availability report so he should be good to go versus the Hilltoppers. He started 11 of the previous 13 games prior to his missed contest, so there's a good chance he will start in his return to the court. He's averaging a modest 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds this season, but his return will still be a welcome one.
