Nears double-double in first start Pierce had 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Monday's 82-65 win over Alabama State. Impact Pierce got his first start of the season for the Tigers, and he made the most of it, almost picking up his first career double-double. The sophomore hit two three-pointers and also dished out two assists across 23 minutes in an efficient if not explosive outing. It remains to be seen if he'll keep his place in the starting five, but at least against lesser competition, he proved that he can be a serviceable aspect of Missouri's front court.
