RH: Shockers Execute Late With Echenique

By Paul Suellentrop

It is called "Jacksonville" and it is one of Wichita State's signature plays, used to great effect over the years, even when opponents should scout it to death.

On Thursday, the Shockers needed a basket and they called Jacksonville, a play that distracts defenses with action in the corner while a screen frees a big man on the block. Opposing big men are almost always a step or two late as they try to catch up.

That was the case in Thursday's 65-55 win over USF at Koch Arena.
