The Houston men’s basketball team saw its lead in the American Athletic Conference slip away on Thursday after falling to Wichita State on Thursday night.
The Cougars (17-3, 11-3 AAC) had a chance to steal a win on the road in the closing seconds of the game after sophomore guard Tyson Etienne missed a one-and-one free-throw but immediately gave the opportunity back just three seconds later on a turnover by UH senior guard DeJon Jarreau.
That led to a worst-case scenario, flagrant-two foul on senior forward Justin Gorham, which saw him get ejected and turned into four points for the Shockers.
