Last season, sophomore Tyson Etienne was arguably one the best players in the country and won the AAC Player of the Year. But this season hasn’t been the same for the third year guard.
Etienne’s 2021-22 season started off with a bang, connecting on a game-winning opener and scoring a combined 55 points during WSU’s two games in Vegas. Since then, Etienne is averaging 12.8 points per game, while shooting 33.9% from the field.
After WSU lost last season’s point guard, Alterique Gilbert, to graduation, Etienne has been forced to create his own offense more, while also receiving more defensive attention.
