Wichita State advances to semifinals thanks to McDuffie’s career-best 34 points

Wichita State's Markis McDuffie drives on Temple's Quinton Rose during the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference tournament. McDuffie scored a career-high in the game.

MEMPHIS, Ten. — Jamarius Burton was clearly shaken.

Running the point guard duties for Wichita State, Burton turned the ball over on the first possession. On the ensuing possession, Temple’s Quinton Rose pressured him outside the perimeter, and after nearly passing it out of bounds once again, Burton ended up passing the ball off late to Samajae Haynes-Jones with the shot-clock already expired.

Wichita State played two freshmen, Burton and Dexter Dennis to start the game.
