The first half against Oral Roberts was not the start that sophomore guard Tyson Etienne had anticipated for his first game of the 2020-21 season.
Etienne struggled with foul trouble and was limited to 11 minutes in the first half against Oral Roberts. Etienne said he wasn’t feeling great but with the short-handed Shocker roster, he knew he needed to find a way to contribute.
“Just because I’m not feeling the best I can’t quit on the team,” Etienne said. “None of us can quit on each other. So I just felt like I had to do my job which is leading my guys and stepping up and putting the ball in the rim.
