Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall drew a play for the biggest shot of the year with Rauno Nurger as a prime option.
“Rauno’s come a long way,” Marshall said. “I really liked the way he shot the ball when we recruited him. For whatever reason, for two years he hasn’t been able to make a shot. Now, I’ve seen it. I’ve seen it enough.”
No, it should not be surprising that Marshall put Nurger — a career 27-percent three-point shooter — in a pick-and-pop situation with guard Daishon Smith in the final seconds of last Friday’s 77-72 loss to then-No.
