MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Austin Reaves topped 20-points for the third straight game to help No. 22/21 Wichita State to an 85-65 win at Memphis Tuesday night at FedExForum.

Several dozen fans made the two-hour drive from Reaves’ hometown of Newark, Ark., and the sophomore gave them plenty to cheer about. He finished with 22 points and six rebounds in 32 minutes.

Reaves is the first Shocker since Ron Baker in November, 2015 to score 20+ points in three straight outings.

Landry Shamet snapped out of a shooting funk with a 4-of-7 performance from three on his way to 20 points. He also dished out five assists without a turnover.

Zach Brown provided an energy boost with 11 points, four steals and four assists.

Jeremiah Martin paced Memphis (14-10, 5-6 American) with 16 points on 12-of-14 free throw shooting.
