RH: Shockers Advance to AAC Semifinal
Things looked shaky for a long time, Wichita State guard Tyson Etienne admitted.
The Shockers do not mind shaky. It is now past time to realize that they thrive on it.
They've spent the season dealing with unexpected circumstances and turmoil. They won their ninth game by five or fewer points on Friday. Deficits, comebacks and short-handed rosters are the norm.
Top-seeded Wichita State defeated eighth-seeded USF 68-67 in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference Championship in Fort Worth. The Shockers scored four points, all on foul shots, in the final 5:07 to avoid a loss that might have ruined their NCAA Tournament resume.
