Wichita State fans were probably on the edge of their seats screaming at the television when the Shockers committed turnovers on seven of their final 14 possessions against Clemson in a second-round National Invitational Tournament game on Sunday.
Many will remember the Shockers barely holding on for a 63-55 victory at Littlejohn Coliseum to advance to the quarterfinals of the NIT to face Indiana on Tuesday.
But it’s also important to remember why WSU had a cushion large enough to, as WSU coach Gregg Marshall phrased it, “withstand the debacle at the end.”
The Shockers held Clemson to 55 points in 69 possessions, its fourth-lowest offensive efficiency output of the season.
