KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Four Missouri State men's basketball players were recognized by the National Association of Basketball Coaches today (July 17) with the release of the 2024-25 NABC Honors Court.

Allen Udemadu, Chase Martin, Michael Osei-Bonsu and Wesley Oba represented the Bears on a list of over 2,400 players across all college basketball levels and divisions who earned coveted spots on the NABC Honors Court.

To be recognized on the Honors Court, a student-athlete must be a junior or senior varsity player with a cumulative 3.20 grade-point overage of higher at the conclusion of the most-recent season. Students must also have completed one year at their current institution which must include at least one NABC member coach.

Udemadu (3.30, Psychology), Martin (3.80,  Computer Science), Osei-Bonsu (3.41, Psychology) and Oba (3.33, Business Administration) met the participation and academic requirements for MoState. Oba and Udemadu both participated in spring 2025 commencement exercises at Missouri State.  

The NABC Honors Court was created to recognize the off-court talents of some of the nation's top basketball players who exhibit excellence in the classroom.
