These are dark days in the college basketball world with the FBI investigation into widespread corruption revealing shady recruiting practices at several major programs.
But Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall showed Friday that integrity in the game still exists, at least on the Shockers’ sideline.
The act came when WSU was locked into an intense, competitive game against a very good Providence team. The Shockers were trying to protect an 80-72 lead with less than 90 seconds remaining.
WSU center Jaime Echenique blocked a shot and WSU’s Samajae Haynes-Jones and Providence’s David Duke both reached out to grab the loose ball, causing it go out of bounds with 1:07 remaining.
