He also logged a season-best rebounding total and collected a trio of steals, with the latter building on a career-best 1.8 spg total.

Bounces back with 17 points Bates amassed 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 80-77 loss to Illinois.

Impact Bates was coming off two quiet outings, logging six and two points against LIU and Jacksonville State, respectively. The guard bounced back against Illinois, however, hitting five shots from the floor and converting on all six of his free throw attempts. In a narrow loss to the Illini, Bates was his old self. He'll look to keep it up with SEC play around the corner.

Propels upset with 29 Bates recorded 29 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, one assist and five steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 76-67 win over No. 1-ranked Kansas.

Impact Since losing to Memphis in the season opener, Bates and the Tigers have rattled off eight consecutive home victories and should be in contention to be nationally ranked come Monday. Bates was the driving factor here, as the effort boosted his season-long scoring average up to a team-high 14.1 ppg, which is a slight boost from last season despite seeing roughly three less minutes per contest.

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

Tamar Bates had 29 points and five steals to help Missouri beat Hunter Dickinson and No. 1 Kansas, 76-67, on Sunday.

DECEMBER 8, 2024

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.
