The milestone’s within reach: Ragin’ Cajuns’ Kasey Shepherd is 17 points shy of 1,000 entering CollegeInsider.com matchup with Furman

After going off for a career-high 28 points in the CollegeInsider.com tournament’s opening round against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, the Texas native is now just 17 points shy of becoming the 43rd player in program history to score 1,000 career points.
