Wichita State Athletics ReleaseFebruary 6, 2023

Wichita State senior James Rojas grabbed every rebound and loose ball in sight last week, as well as a spot on the American Athletic Conference Honor Roll.

In Sunday’s road win at Tulsa, Rojas put up 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting. He had 15 points and nine boards Thursday night in a narrow loss to No. 3 Houston.

Rojas is averaging 11.7 points and a team-best 7.4 rebounds since the start of conference play and has scored in double-figures in each of the last eight contests.

WSU (12-11, 5-6 American) plays twice at home this week against UCF (Wednesday, 7 p.m. CT, ESPN+) and SMU (Sunday, 3 p.m. CT, ESPN2).
