Memphis completes season sweep over WSU with 24 point win
After securing several free throws for Wichita State, freshman Ricky Council IV meets head coach Isaac Brown on the court.
Wichita State suffered its worst loss in the Isaac Brown Era on Sunday, falling to Memphis, 81-57. The Tigers swept the Shockers in both regular season matchups, with both wins coming by at least 18 points.
The Shockers missed 28 of their 33 shots in the first half (15%), including 14-in-a-row over a nine-minute scoring drought. Memphis capitalized on WSU’s offensive struggles, leading 35-9 late in the first half.
The teams played to a 46-all tie over the final 24 minutes, but it was too late to mount a comeback.
“You’ve got to be able to compete. I told them we didn’t compete today. And in the first half we didn’t compete at all,” Wichita State head coach Isaac Brown said. “When we don’t defend at a high level the game can get away from you like it did in the first half today. So we got to move on to the next one. “
Sophomore Tyson Etienne scored a team-high 11 points, including reaching the 1,000 point milestone with a three-pointer late in the first half. Etienne became the 48th member of WSU’s 1,000-point club and the first since Markis McDuffie in December, 2019.
Craig Porter tied a school record with seven steals to go along with nine points and six assists. The junior point guard matched a steals record previously achieved by Ernie Moore (1963 v. Drake), Cheese Johnson (1978 vs. South Dakota), Tekele Cotton (2014 vs. Drake) and Fred VanVleet (2014 vs. New Mexico State).
Ricky Council IV was the only other Shocker to reach double figures, with 10 points. Outside of Porter, Etienne and Council’s combined 31 points, the rest of the starting lineup scored a combined four points. Dexter Dennis was held scoreless for the second time this season.
“We just weren’t competing. We were missing shots and we didn’t get back in transition,” Brown said. “I continue to tell the team that we’re not a great offensive team like making wide-open shots. Our percentages say that we still have to defend at a high level.”
With the Shockers’ season winding down, a set of urgency is setting in ahead of the conference tournament. WSU remains optimistic in turning the season, but is running out of time.
“We’re a really talented group, we just kind of beat ourselves sometimes, we kind of fall off and just find ourselves making silly mistakes that can cost us in the end,” Porter said. “I just feel like those few games that we lost by one or two points, if those could’ve gone our way, I feel like we could’ve gone on a rollercoaster effect and started winning these tougher games.”
The Shockers are back on the road Wednesday at Tulsa (8 p.m. CT on either ESPN2 or ESPNU) then return home Saturday for their regular season finale against East Carolina (2 p.m. CT, ESPNU).

I contracted genital herpes few weeks after i agreed sleeping with my partner. He was away for work when I was diagnosed and it took all my courage to tell him. I didn’t know what he’d think or say, I thought he’d dump me. His initial response was “well you didn’t get it from me” until a day later when he told me he had a cold sore. My dr was a bit of a prude about it and made this big fuss about having to report it to health authorities in order to get authorisation for my script. Luckily it was HPV type 1 which she told me is rare to just develop on your genital without it being spread all over the body but thr itch was much and pains. Someome reffered us to contact Dr Kujo which we did, he sent the herbal medicine to us after we ordered and used it accordingly he prescribed for 30 days, which eventually every itch,rash and cold sore dissapeared and my dr was amazed after he tested us herpes negative.(6 months till now I haven’t even had a cold sore or itch since).But it was so scary, I did the same thing looking it up on the internet and went through that agony alone! I still haven’t told anyone, not even my mum and I just hope I never have to experience that pain again! My now fiancé and I often joke about it now, mainly when I want my way I remind him that he have me herpes! I am saying to everyone now that Dr Baba Kujo is the only one that has the cure for this deadly disease, do not waste time in contacting him as we did. all thanks to him.

Hello don’t be afraid to share your health issues, my health and life was horrible before I decided to try the Protocol Of taking DR UCHEGBU mixture. I felt there was no hope for my health and I was to try the Protocol thinking it wouldn’t work because I have visited so many hospitals but the same result. However, I was convinced by my friend to try herbal medicine because I wanted to get rid of Herpes Virus. The herbal mixture that was given to me was really quick and easy to take, and since I have been taking it for less than 5 days I have less of an outbreak. But within one week I was fully cured from Herpes virus. The herbal medicine really works and I would like to share this great herb doctor contact with you all by emailing him [email protected]

I’m recommending Dr Okuofoh to everyone who has the herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2020 and I have been searching and asking questions to see if I could get something to cure the disease because I did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I came across a comment on Youtube and the person testify how she was cured of herpes after using Dr Okuofoh herbal medicine. I quickly contact Dr Okuofoh and explain my problem to him and he prepares the herbs and send it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it and tell me to go for a checkup after usage which I did after two weeks of taken the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that am completely free from herpes. Am so happy and grateful to Dr Okuofoh for what he has done for me and I will continue to share this with people out there to know that there is a herpes cure can contact Dr Okuofoh by email and Whats App to get the cure from him.
