Wichita State narrowly escaped with a victory on Sunday, defeating Temple 70-67. The Shockers improve to 11-4 on the season and 7-2 in conference play with the win.
With 1:08 left in the game, Temple controlled a one-point advantage but just as he’s done all season, sophomore Tyson Etienne delivered when WSU needed him the most. Etienne was fought through a foul and connected on a critical layup to regain the Shockers’ lead. Etienne nailed the ensuing free throw to give WSU a two-point advantage in the final minute.
Etienne went on to close out the game with a pair at the line, pushing his point total to a team-high 20 points.
