Wichita State lost an 11-point lead with 3:36 left in regulation.
Behind Shizz Alston, Jr., Temple surged to a four-point overtime victory.
Alston, Jr., had 22 points in front of a handful of NBA scouts. WSU’s Samajae Haynes-Jones had 22 points (13 in the second half), but couldn’t lead the Shockers to an AAC victory in the final minutes of the game.
“Right now, this one hurts,” WSU forward Markis McDuffie said.
The Shockers have lost back-to-back, and have an 0-2 conference record for the first time since 2009.
“It was one of the toughest games of my entire career,” McDuffie said.
