An inside look at how WSU kept the ball moving and scorched the nets in Tulsa road win

A day after its coach labeled Wichita State “not a good passing team,” an assertion supported by statistics, the Shockers registered their best passing game of the season in an 81-60 victory over Tulsa at the Reynolds Center late Wednesday.

These Shockers, which had the lowest assist rate in the Gregg Marshall era, logged a season-best 24 assists on 80 percent of made baskets. For reference, last season’s WSU team, which finished third in the country in assist rate, only did that three times. Jamarius Burton became the first true freshman in decades to finish with 10 assists, while Ricky Torres dished seven assists with no turnovers off the bench.
