Wichita State freshman Tyson Etienne dribbles past a defender during the first half of the game against Houston on Saturday inside Charles Koch Arena.
Wichita State (16-3) defeated South Florida on Tuesday, snapping its two-game losing streak, by a score of 56-43 down in Tampa, Florida.
Earlier this week, the Shockers fell out of one of the two polls (Associated Press) after reaching the No. 16 ranking the week before. In the USA Today Coaches Poll though, WSU only fell down to the No. 22 ranking – in a tie with the Illinois Fighting Illini.
Throughout the majority of the first half, WSU’s offense once again struggled to get going, but they were able to take a two-point lead into the locker room behind a step-back three-point buzzer-beater from Tyson Etienne.
