Sergej Macura - Questionable to play Wednesday Macura (undisclosed) is questionable to play Wednesday against Oklahoma.

Impact Macura has started in only three of his 11 regular-season appearances while averaging 18.2 minutes per contest. He's not expected to play a big role in fantasy any time soon.

Hubbard leads Mississippi State against Oklahoma

Mississippi State takes on the Oklahoma Sooners after Josh Hubbard scored 38 points in Mississippi State's 101-98 overtime victory over the Texas Longhorns

JANUARY 6 • Associated Press

Josh Hubbard - Goes off in overtime Hubbard had a career-high 38 points (10-31 FG, 6-17 3Pt, 12-15 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes during Saturday's 101-98 OT win over Texas.

Impact Hubbard scored 10 points in the overtime period to help the Bulldogs win their SEC opener. The team has won five straight games and the 6-0 junior has averaged 22.8 points on 40.8 percent from the field. He scored 20 points in the first half, then went cold in the second before exploding in overtime. Hubbard leads the SEC with 22.5 points. With three points in Mississippi State's next game, Hubbard will pass Jamont Gordon as the tenth-best scorer in school history.

Jayden Epps - Puts up 27 points Epps closed with a season-high 27 points (9-21 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 101-98 OT victory over Texas.

Impact The 6-2 senior closed the non-conference slate with his quietest performance of the season with just six points on 2-of-8 from the field in the blowout win over Alabama State. He helped the Bulldogs outlast Texas and fell one assist shy of equaling his season high. Epps is averaging 16.8 points and hitting 34.1 percent of his 3-pointers.

King Grace - Scores season-high 14 Grace accumulated 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 94-56 victory over Alabama State.

Impact The 6-5 freshman has found quality playing time hard to find in the early going. He was able to take advantage of his opportunity and he could be a factor off the Bulldog bench in SEC play, which starts on Saturday at Texas.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Achor Achor - 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.

Epps, Hubbard help Mississippi State survive frenetic finish in 71-66 win over Memphis

Jayden Epps scored 19 points and Mississippi State fought off Memphis for a 71-66 win

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • Associated Press

Jayden Epps - Scores team-high 19 Epps finished Saturday's 71-66 victory over Memphis with 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact Epps has averaged 20.0 points over his last four games, which is a nice bump from his season average of 17.0 points. The Georgetown transfer is hitting a career-high 38.4 percent of his 3-pointers. The Bulldogs have one more tune up before SEC play starts. They face Alabama Sate on Dec. 29.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shawn Jones Jr. - Scores nine, doles out four assists Jones notched nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 71-66 win over Memphis.

Impact The 6-6 Jones can easily be overlooked with the scoring talent in the Bulldog backcourt. He has started all but two games and played reliable defense for coach Chris Jans. He equaled his season high in assists against the Tigers. Jones isn't going to get many shots and has not scored in double digits since Nov. 15.

Mississippi State uses every bit of Hubbard's 34-point effort to subdue LIU

Josh Hubbard scored 34 points and Jayden Epps scored 20 points and Mississippi State had to fight to the end to hold off Long Island 87-83

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • Associated Press

Josh Hubbard - Scores season-high 34 Hubbard notched 34 points (11-23 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 87-83 victory over LIU.

Impact It didn't take Hubbard long to establish that he had returned fully from the ankle injury that cost the majority of his Dec. 7 contest. The 6-0 junior had his seventh game of at least 23 points and equaled his season high in 3-pointers. Hubbard has hit his last 18 free throws to push his conversion rate to 80.6 percent. The Bulldogs take on Memphis on Saturday. Hubbard had 13 points against the Tigers last season.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quincy Ballard - Hauls down 10 boards Ballard notched eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 87-83 victory over LIU.

Impact The Wichita State transfer has brought down at least six rebounds in his last eight games, including two 10-rebound games. With all of the shooters in the Bulldog backcourt, particularly Josh Hubbard and Jayden Epps, Ballard will fight for offensive scraps. The seven-footer is averaging 7.0 points to go along with his team-high 6.8 rebounds.
