New Mexico State transfer Tanveer Bhullar commits to Missouri State
Former New Mexico State Aggies talent Tanveer Bhullar has committed to play for the Missouri State Bears, a source told FanRag Sports on Friday.

The 7-foot-2 center saw his minutes decrease dramatically last season in comparison to the campaign prior. In the 2016-17 season he averaged just seven minutes per contest after playing 18.1 minutes per outing during the 2015-16 season.

Missouri State finished last season with an overall record of 17-16. The program last went to the NCAA Tournament in the 1998-99 season. The program was led by Steve Alford at the time.
