Shockers win season opener in thrilling fashion

By halftime, the Wichita State men’s basketball team was trailing in their season opener. They couldn’t get shots to fall and they played rushed, according to Head Coach Isaac Brown.

However, by the second half the Shockers executed and sealed the deal after sophomore guard Tyson Etienne made a three-point jumper with 2.2 seconds left on the clock.

“The second half once we started executing, once we started to make shots,” Brown said. “So proud of those guys for stepping up to the foul lines. Going 12 to 14, and sometimes you gotta make free throws in order to win close games.
