Mitchell Returns to Missouri | College Basketball News

Mark Mitchell, the Missouri forward who nailed that legendary buzzer-beater against Oklahoma, is staying home — re-enrolling at Missouri after all. His path back was anything but straightforward: he played two seasons, dipped into NBA summer league with Denver, and got caught in NCAA eligibility rules that didn’t grandfather his 2022 class. A Kentucky judge granted him a fifth year, but SEC transfer rules blocked his move to Lexington since he never used the portal. Crucially, he never signed a pro contract or declared for the draft — keeping him eligible to return. With over 18 points per game last season, his return bolsters an already loaded Missouri roster, making them serious contenders this season — opening Nov 3 against Cleveland State.
