Council leads the Shockers to close victory over South Alabama

The Wichita State Men’s Basketball Team outlasted South Alabama on Saturday, picking up a 64-58 victory.

“You would rather figure out your problems winning than losing,” junior guard Dexter Dennis said.

The Shockers continued its struggles offensively, shooting 37.3% from the field and 30.8% from the three-point line. Sophomore guard Tyson Etienne was also out of the starting lineup due to sickness. However, he still played.

The Shockers figured out a way to win by switching up to a 2-2-1 zone in the second half to force South Alabama to take jump shots. Besides the game strategy though, the Shockers had other players step up tonight that weren’t necessarily key starters like junior forward Morris Udeze, Dennis or Etienne.
