The importance of junior point guard Craig Porter Jr. hasn’t gone unnoticed during Wichita State’s midseason resurgence.
Porter has the ability to create offense for himself and others, which was showcased in Sunday’s double overtime loss to No. 14 Houston. Porter scored eight of his 17 points in double overtime.
The Terre Haute, Indiana native’s late scoring punch allowed the Shockers to hang with the American’s best last weekend, including a game-tying stepback three-pointer in the final seconds.
“He’s got an old man’s game. He looks like a dad backing his son in the paint and scoring in the paint over the top of him,” Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson said of Porter.
