A question entering Wednesday night’s game against Jacksonville State was how Wichita State, a team with only two seniors, would compete against one of the nation’s most experienced teams.
Junior college transfer Jaime Echenique was the answer for the Shockers.
Echenique scored WSU’s first six points of the game, as WSU’s guards pounded the ball inside to the 6-foot-11 junior.
“I just wanted to go as hard as possible and try to take advantage of my size,” Echenique said.
Jacksonville State did not double-team the post, and so Echenique made them pay for it, scoring 10 points in the first half.
