MSSU Athletics Hall of Fame
One of the most accomplished players in Missouri Southern men's basketball history, Jason Adams enjoyed a remarkable four-year career from 2008-12, leaving his name throughout the Lions' record book while earning multiple conference honors.
Adams burst onto the scene by earning MIAA Freshman of the Year honors in 2008-09 before being named Second Team All-MIAA in 2009-10 and First Team All-MIAA in both 2010-11 and 2011-12.
A prolific scorer and versatile playmaker, Adams finished his career third in MSSU program history with 1,981 points, while also ranking third in field goals made (726) and field goals attempted (1,482). His 1,981 career points also ranks ninth all-time in the MIAA record books.
Adams appeared in 120 career games, the fourth-most in school history, and remains among the program's all-time leaders in nearly every major statistical category.
In addition to his scoring prowess, Adams ranks fifth in career three-point field goals made (213), fifth in three-point attempts (559), fifth in steals (180), sixth in assists (319), ninth in rebounds (637), ninth in free throw attempts (435), and 10th in free throws made (316), highlighting his ability to impact every facet of the game.
Adams also authored two of the greatest single-game scoring performances in Missouri Southern history. He scored 43 points against Arkansas-Monticello on Nov. 12, 2011, the eighth-highest total in program history, and followed with a 42-point performance against Fort Hays State in the 2012 MIAA Tournament, which ranks 10th all-time.
