Starts, scores 11 Achor finished with 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 19 minutes during Monday's 94-56 victory over Alabama State.

Impact Achor moved back into the starting lineup for guard Shawn Jones as coach Chris Jans went with a bigger group. The 6-9 senior had his first double-digit scoring game. He started the first seven games of the season, but had played 10 minutes or fewer in five straight games prior to Monday. If he can stick in the starting lineup, Achor could be someone to watch for rebounds.

Mississippi State faces Georgia Tech following Epps' 21-point game

Mississippi State takes on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets after Jayden Epps scored 21 points in the Bulldogs' 87-81 overtime loss to the SMU Mustangs

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • Associated Press

Snags 12 boards Achor totaled five points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 87-81 OT loss to SMU.

Impact The 6-9 senior has started every game for the Bulldogs, but Friday's game was the first in which he provided either double-digit scoring or rebounding. The Kansas State transfer is mainly on the court to provide a defensive presence and his shooting percentages (25.0 percent from the field, 66.7 percent from the line) leave a lot to be desired. Achor is only playable as a rebounder in SEC-only leagues.

Impact Achor also had eight boards in the opener, but was limited to two points in the win over UNC-Asheville.

The Bulldogs have an upcoming Saturday matinee against Southeastern Louisiana, so Achor will have another chance to clean the glass.
