  • Today in Shockers Sports History: February 20th

    For the day, the Shockers are:
    16 and 17

    Regular Season (Games of Interest):
    2020 – Beat South Florida in Wichita 65-55. Jaime Echenique tied his career high with 20 points as Wichita State defeated South Florida 65-55 on Thursday night and the Shockers have secured 20 wins for the 11th straight season. Echenique sank two free throws and Dennis Dexter followed with a 3-pointer as Wichita State (20-6, 8-5 American Athletic Conference) fought out of the second of two ties midway through the final period with five unanswered points. Wichita State began the season as one of eight teams to win 20 games in every season since 2010, joined by Kansas, Duke, Gonzaga, North Carolina, Saint Mary's, Kentucky and Vermont. Echenique converted 12-of-14 from the foul line. He added nine rebounds and four blocks. Tyson Etienne had 12 points and Jamarius Burton 10 for Wichita State.

    2019 – Won at Tulsa in Tulsa, Okla. 81-60. Dexter Dennis and Samajae Haynes-Jones combined for 11 of Wichita State's school-record tying 15 three-point field goals in an 81-60 road rout of Tulsa, Wednesday evening at the Reynolds Center. WSU (13-12, 6-7 American) hoisted 33 shots from beyond the arc and connected 15 times, matching a school record set three times previously (once in 2002-03 and twice more during the 2016-17 season). Jamarius Burton posted 10 assists -- most by a Shocker freshman in 46 years. Calvin Bruton dished out 12 assists against Saint Louis in 1973. Five other freshmen have reached nine, most recently Fred VanVleet.

    2002 – Beat Illinois State in Wichita 77-66

    1988 – Won at Creighton in Omaha, Neb. 63-49

    1986 – Won at Illinois State in Normal, Ill. 53-49

    1956 – Won at Detroit in Detroit, Michigan 85-84

    1939 – Beat DePaul in Wichita 35-32

    1914 – Won at McPherson in McPherson 42-15

      I always thought that WSU lost a good floor general when Burton transferred. Sherfield was too much of a me guy, here and since, while Burton is flirting with an ACC title (albeit unlikely).
