Wichita State rolls in second half, blows out Southern Illinois

Darth Vader’s Imperial March plays during introduction of the visiting team at SIU Arena, just loud enough to be heard through the boos of a small crowd.

Not exactly original, but fitting for Wichita State. Once again the Shockers put on their black and played the role of evil empire in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Shockers defeated Southern Illinois 87-68 on Wednesday at SIU Arena.

WSU (24-4, 14-1 MVC) defeated SIU for the ninth straight time, matching its longest streak in the series.

Conner Frankamp led WSU with 14 points, all in the second half.
