Anytime your name gets tossed around with Ron Baker, that’s a pretty big deal around Wichita State.
After Austin Reaves scored a game-high 22 points in No. 22 WSU’s 85-65 win over Memphis at FedEx Forum on Tuesday, the sophomore from Newark, Ark. became the first Shocker since Baker did it in 2015 to score at least 20 points in three consecutive games.
Reaves averaged 6.2 points through the first 20 games and had never scored more than 15 in his career. He’s since dropped 23 on Tulsa, scored 20 at Temple, and 22 at Memphis. How does he explain this explosion?
