Jaime Echenique knows Wichita State played a good game.
The team did a lot of things right (despite a few too many turnovers), but even with an 11-point lead and 3:36 left in the game, that wasn’t enough to solidify a win against the Temple Owls.
“We did a good job, but we didn’t get the result that we wanted,” Echenique said Thursday ahead of Wichita State’s quarterfinal meeting with three-seed Temple in the American Athletic Conference tournament.
Wichita State was making shots and getting defensive stops. Then the Shockers hit a brick wall.
The Shockers turned a once 16-point lead into a four-point overtime loss.
