Wichita State's
Craig Porter Jr. did a lot-a-bit of everything in three games last week to earn a spot on the American Athletic Conference honor roll.
Â
Porter – a senior from Terre Haute, Ind. –averaged 13.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 3.7 blocks and 1.0 steal over three games.
Â
The 6-foot-2 point guard blocked career-high five shots in Saturday's win over Tarleton State. He finished with a double-double (14 points, 10 rebounds) and four more blocks in Monday's Hall of Fame Classic semifinal victory over Grand Canyon.
Â
Porter is the only player in the nation with both a 5-block and 5-steal game this season.
Â
It's the second career honor roll appearance for Porter, who currently leads the team in points (13.8), rebounds (7.2), assists (3.8), steals (1.8) and blocks (2.17).
Â
Notably, just 24 players nationally are averaging more blocks than Porter. All of them are 6-foot-7 or taller.
Â
Wichita State (4-2) plays host to unbeaten Missouri (7-0) on Tuesday night (7 p.m. CT, ESPN+). Tickets are still available online at goshockers.com/tickets, by phone at 316-978-FANS, or in person at the Shocker Ticket Office (open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) inside Charles Koch Arena.
