Scoring outburst in signature win Sheppard had 32 points (11-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 91-89 win over Mississippi State. Impact Sheppard's scoring had been a bit quiet over his last four games since moving back to a reserve role, but he still sees starter-level minutes, and he caught fire Tuesday night. Sheppard is shooting an impressive 51.7 percent from distance this season, and while that was still a big part of his game in this outing, his scoring came from all parts of the court. Look for the likely one-and-done candidate to continue to be a threat for big games such as this down the stretch.
