Columbia, Mo. ? Missouri’s bench is about to get a lot deeper.

Today, the No. 10 Tigers will be fortified in their game against North Carolina-Greensboro by the additions of shooting guard Jason Conley, a high-scoring transfer from Virginia Military Institute, and point guard Raandy Pulley.

Conley becomes eligible because Missouri has reached its semester break, and Pulley’s academic records finally got the green light from the school.

Neither will start, but both should see a lot of action as Missouri (3-1) plays its first game since losing in overtime eight days ago to Gonzaga.

Conley led the NCAA in scoring with a 29-point average as a freshman at VMI in 2001-02 and chose Missouri over Kentucky, Miami, Tennessee and Florida.

“As excited as they are, I think the team is really excited to have them with us,” coach Quin Snyder said. “They’re going to play. They’re more acclimated to our team than people realize because they’ve been practicing so much.”

After sitting out the second half of last season plus Missouri’s first four games this season, Conley said his debut felt better than Christmas Eve.

Conley is used to being the go-to guy, but on a team that features seniors Rickey Paulding and Arthur Johnson, he just wants to contribute — against a familiar opponent.

Conley averaged 25.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in two games against North Carolina-Greensboro.
