Excels in bench role Shannon had a team-high 22 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-12 FT) to go along with six rebounds and three steals across 27 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 82-71 victory over Kansas... Impact Shannon is the consensus highest-rated prospect on the Red Raiders and had started each of the previous 10 games he appeared in, but according to Phil Mayer of ABC, it was Shannon's idea to come off the bench Tuesday. The switch didn't affect his production in the slightest bit, as he scored a season-best 22 points on just nine attempts from the field. It was his ability to get to the line that set him apart here, as Shannon attempted double the free throws of any other game this year. Whether as a starter or reserve, Shannon will look to keep up this momentum in an up-tempo game against the Cyclones on Saturday.
