No. 7: Shockers Knock Off No. 6 Houston

Dexter Dennis plays relentless, physical defense. Sometimes, defense is easy to overlook or forget.

Bust through a screen. Cut off a drive. Get a hand up. Shot goes in. Good defense. No reward.

Dennis, a 6-foot-5 forward, will leave Wichita State with a reputation as the defensive stopper of his era, much like Jamar Howard or Tekele Cotton before him.

The clip that should lead his highlight film – even before the chasedown blocks - sealed a life-changing outcome for the Shockers in their 68-63 win over No. 6 Houston on Feb. 18 in Koch Arena.
