RH: Career-high 22 Points Leads Wichita State In Opener

By Paul Suellentrop

Craig Porter Jr. said he wants to let the work show.

He will have to this season for Wichita State, which will depend on him for almost everything as 12 newcomers make their way. Porter prepared for the season knowing all that.

On Monday, he started his senior season with a game in which the work certainly showed. He scored a career-high 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting to go with four assists, four rebounds and three steals in 20 minutes, 12 seconds of play.

Wichita State defeated Central Arkansas 79-55 in a season-opener that was never in doubt after a Porter-fueled 11-0 run to start the game.
