Wichita State senior Jaime Echenique is fouled by Oral Roberts redshirt sophomore Elijah Lufile in the second half at Charles Koch Arena Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019.
Jaime Echenique is back.
After four weeks of rehab, the senior center from Colombia made his much-anticipated return to the floor Saturday against Oral Roberts.
Four weeks ago, Wichita State participated in a closed scrimmage against Nebraska. The Shockers won the unofficial contest, but it came at a cost. Echenique, WSU’s starting center, fell on his hand, breaking it in the process.
When Echenique went to the doctor, he was told he wouldn’t need surgery.
