SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Wichita State clawed back from a 15-point first half deficit, but couldn't overcome foul trouble and clutch shooting from South Dakota Wednesday night, as the Shockers fell, 73-64, at the Sanford Pentagon.
Wichita State (4-1) saw its four-game win streak to open the season come to an end, despite holding South Dakota to just 33.3 percent shooting and 7-of-26 from three-point range.
South Dakota (4-1) made up for a poor shooting performance on the glass and at the free throw line. The Coyotes outrebounded Wichita State by 11 (35-24) and converted 30-of-36 attempts at the charity stripe.
