Wichita State’s Tyson Etienne was named to the American Athletic Conference Honor Roll, adding to his collection of weekly awards.

The 6-foot-2 sophomore from Englewood, N.J. posted a pair of 20-point performances in Shocker wins over Tulane and Temple. For the week, he averaged 21.0 points on 50 percent shooting, including 8-of-15 from three.

Etienne has made five honor roll appearances and twice earned player of the week status. His seven total honors are the most by a Shocker in a single season since joining The American, topping Landry Shamet (six in 2017-18).

Etienne is the conference’s leading scorer at 18.1 points-per-game and ranks among the top-25 nationally in three-point field goals (3.1-per-game).

Wichita State (11-4, 7-2 American) is on the road all week: Wednesday at UCF (6 p.m. CT, ESPN+) and Sunday at SMU (3 p.m. CT, ESPNU).
