Missouri Western Men’s Basketball Coach Tom Smith adds Belgium-native shooting guard Alex Teluka-Mfumupembeto to the roster for the 2011-2012 basketball season. Teluka is a transfer from Highland Community College in Freeport, Ill.  The 6-3, 190 lbs sharpshooter averaged 10 points per game for the Cougar’s in 2010-2011.

“He was a kid who might have been thinking Division I until right at the end,” Missouri Western Head Basketball Coach Tom Smith, said.  “Some things fell through in his recruiting at the DI level, so we felt like he’d be a good fit for DII.”

Teluka came to Missouri Western on a recommendation from Coach Smith’s first assistant, and former Highland Community College Basketball Coach, Pete Norman.
