‘There’s basketball gods’: Shockers sitting on the NCAA Tournament bubble

Wichita State freshman Tyson Etienne starts to drive towards the paint during the first half of the game against USF on Feb. 20 inside Charles Koch Arena.

From the moment he stepped foot on campus, Wichita State freshman Tyson Etienne stressed the importance of a Shocker return to the NCAA Tournament. From the moment players were made available to media at media day, Etienne pledged that the Shockers wouldn’t be heading back to the National Invitational Tournament.
