The Morning Commute for Thursday, April 3

Welcome to the Morning Commute

Today we’re talking about Caleb Grill and Tamar Bates.

Mizzou is still represented at Final Four weekend in San Antonio. It was announced on Tuesday that Caleb Grill will be competing in the E*TRADE Men’s 3-Point Shooting contest on Final Four weekend in San Antonio.

That event can be seen later tonight at 6:00 p.m. CST on ESPN.

Grill will also be playing in one more college game alongside his teammate Tamar Bates in the NABC-Reese’s Division 1 College All-Star Game.

Bates and Grill will represent Mizzou on the East team. The game can be seen on Friday at 3:30 p.m. CST on the CBS Sports Network. D’Moi Hodge (2023) and Sean East II (2024) are also former Mizzou players that have recently played in this game.

It’s one last time to watch Tamar Bates and Caleb Grill represent Mizzou as their college careers officially come to a close.
