The Bears will be without junior guard Ronnie Rousseau III for an extended period of time.

Before Missouri State’s 75-67 loss to Southern Illinois, Missouri State head men’s basketball coach Paul Lusk announced that Rousseau will miss time due to personal reasons.

“Ronnie has asked for some time away to deal with some personal things,” Lusk said in a press release. “I want to make it absolutely clear that he's done nothing wrong on or off the court, and is in good academic standing.

“He's been a joy to coach and work with since the day he joined the program, and he is very much a valuable part of our team.
