Detonates in win Dixon posted 31 points (11-15 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 79-67 win over Creighton.

Impact Notching the first 30-point game of his collegiate career, Dixon was unstoppable Saturday. The career-best scoring effort was propelled by raining in six threes -- uncharacteristic three-point volume for Dixon. Prior to Saturday's contest, Dixon had failed to hit a three in seven of his last 10 contests. He's a booming scorer, but regular contributions from beyond the arc can't be counted on.
