Evansville got the game it wanted – slow, physical and ugly. The Aces knew running with Wichita State meant bad things.
That style frustrated the Shockers into the second half. Once they broke free of the Aces, they kept going all the way to an 82-65 win at Ford Center on Tuesday.
Wichita State (16-4, 6-1 Missouri Valley Conference) defeated the Aces for the eighth straight time and the fourth at Ford Center.
Evansville (10-10, 1-6) lost its fifth straight game.
WSU’s Shaq Morris rerturned to the starting lineup and scored 17 points and grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds for his first double-double.
