Tamar Bates scores 29 points to help Missouri upset No. 1 Kansas, 76-67

Solid start to 2024-25 Bates is averaging 13.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 23.5 minutes through four games to begin the 2024-25 season with Missouri.

Impact Bates has managed to match last season's scoring average and is doing so on nearly four less minutes per contest, as the Tigers have been running a rotation that features 12 players averaging double-digit minutes. Despite that limitation, Bates is still tied with Caleb Grill for the team's best scoring average. He's also shooting an incredibly efficient 55.6 percent from the field and 47.6 percent from distance, which may be unsustainable, though both would represent career highs.
