Reality is setting in for Wichita State.
Inexperience isn’t something the Shockers can hide this season. Conference play has exposed their shortfalls, be it shortcomings on offense or the team’s inability to closeout the second half of games.
By this point in the year, a focus in Wichita might be scouting what seed the Shockers may draw in the NCAA Tournament. After all, Gregg Marshall has led them there for seven straight appearances. Traditionally, in a few weeks, Marshall would tell bicker with reporters about how despite successes, the Shockers can’t draw the right attention from Jerry Palm.
