Missouri’s Gilbert Returns to Team

Missouri guard Clarence Gilbert was allowed to return to the team after having been suspended indefinitely by Coach Quin Snyder.

Gilbert, the fourth-leading scorer in the Big 12 Conference with a 17-point average, was reinstated after two days of meetings with Snyder. He sat out only one game.

Sophomore guard Ricky Bower was declared ineligible by Wisconsin.

In a written statement, university officials said a routine review of student-athlete records showed the NCAA had not granted its final approval for Bower to compete.

Bower played his first year of college basketball at Ricks Community College in Idaho before spending two years on a Mormon mission. He came to Wisconsin in 2000.
