'Used to it': Mizzou's Gates unfazed by roster uncertainty amid court rulings

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Missouri coach Dennis Gates moved up his appearance at the SEC Tipoff event on Tuesday so he can support Mark Mitchell in court Wednesday as the two-time All-SEC selection seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the NCAA to gain a fifth season of eligibility. Mitchell, who went undrafted by the NBA but signed an Exhibit 10 contract, has sued the NCAA to become eligible this season. An appellate court dissolved a preliminary injunction that would have allowed him to play. He isn't the only player in Gates' locker room with eligibility questions.
