Basketball still fighting to get over the hump
Gregg Marshall said to his team Monday that “you’re no longer freshmen.”
The Shockers are continuing to push through a transition period with Marshall’s youngest class in his coaching career. But now, past the midpoint in the season, much of the team has played 300 or more minutes.
“At this point, you’ve had enough basketball experience, so you don’t need to wait until next year to say that you’re a veteran,” Marshall said of his players.
WSU’s record in December features the worst loss in Marshall’s tenure — a 32-point smoldering by Oklahoma — a three-game non-conference winning streak, a four-game losing streak in American Athletic Conference play, and a win against the AAC’s best team.
