Shavers is tied for fourth in the Sun Belt Conference with eight double-doubles after posting 15 points and 11 rebounds at Southern Miss.

BENCH BOOST – 
 
The Warhawk reserves have been the offensive catalysts for the team this season. ULM are ranked second in the Sun Belt and 12th in the nation averaging 27.3 bench points per game. ULM's bench was responsible for exactly half of the team's 80 points vs. Eastern Michigan, the most points scored in a game by the reserves since last season's 117-60 season opening win vs. Central Baptist. After surpassing the 30-point threshold just once last season, the Warhawk bench has done so already 10 times this season including a high of 54 as a unit against the Ragin' Cajuns.
