The transfer portal hasn’t officially opened yet—it’s set to begin after the National Championship game—but players and their agents are already signaling their intentions.
Following Anthony Robinson II’s announcement, former UCLA transfer Sebastian Mack made his plans clear today.
Mack’s Season and Playing Time
A native of Chicago, Mack began the season as a starter, but his role became inconsistent as the non-conference schedule progressed.
After starting the first nine games, he appeared in only five SEC conference matchups, and logged more than 10 minutes in just one game—a 26-point loss to Alabama Crimson Tide.
Overall, Mack played in 18 games, averaging 12 minutes per contest and scoring 7.0 points on 40.7% shooting.
Career Background
The 6’3”, 195-pound junior combo guard started his collegiate career at UCLA Bruins men’s basketball, averaging 12.1 points per game as a freshman.
His minutes and role declined under coach Mick Cronin in his sophomore year, prompting a transfer to Missouri Tigers men’s basketball with the hope of revitalizing his career.
Unfortunately, this past season saw his offensive efficiency drop to a career low, and his playing time diminish as Dennis Gates’ program struggled with consistency.
Mack was originally a four-star recruit out of Coronado High School in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Implications for Missouri
With both Mack and Robinson leaving, Missouri Tigers men’s basketball will have the opportunity to restructure their backcourt moving forward.
