No more games for Wichita State against highly ranked opponents. No sighs of relief from coach Todd Butler.
The Shockers’ schedule becomes less challenging following Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Texas Tech, which will make life easier for Butler, who started four freshmen on Sunday, including starting pitcher Tommy Barnhouse.
On the other hand, Butler wants to have a team and a program that can stack up favorably with the likes of No. 3 Texas Tech and LSU, which was ranked sixth when it swept WSU earlier this month.
“We don’t have to play LSU anymore, we don’t have to play Texas Tech,” Butler said.
