Wichita State men’s basketball defeated Tulane on Wednesday, 75-67, picking up its second straight victory. Junior Dexter Dennis was a catalyst in the victory, holding Tulane’s Jaylen Forbes to nine.
Coming into the game, Forbes was averaging a team-high 15.5 points and coming off a 23-point performance against Temple. But just as he has done all season, Dennis had the answer defensively.
Forbes finished the game with nine points and every point came from the free-throw line. Forbes missed all 13 of his shot attempts for his second-lowest output of the season.
“Every game I know that I’m going to get the other team’s best player and my job is to give 100% effort and make it hard as long as I can,” Dennis said.
