The TV cameras showed Tyson Etienne with hands raised in triumph, interim coach Isaac Brown smiling through his black mask and happy bunch of Shockers walking off the court.
The Shockers should feel happy with an 82-77 overtime win at USF on Tuesday. Not as happy as they would have been with a regulation win. But happy. Any kind of road happy is pretty good.
They survived fouling shooters twice in the final five seconds of regulation to give the Bulls six points and a 70-all tie. Wichita State led 69-64 with 17 seconds to play before those mistakes by Tyson Etienne and Alterique Gilbert saved the Bulls.
