For the second straight game, Wichita State was unable to close out a win – a common theme early on in this conference season. The Shockers are 0-4 in conference play for the first time since they joined the American in 2017, after blowing back-to-back games they held double-digit leads.
After losing to Tulane on Wednesday despite holding a 14-point halftime lead, the Shockers struggled finishing out a much needed win on Sunday. Winning close games was a strength for WSU last season, with 11 wins by single digits but this season that hasn’t been the case.
“No lead is safe right now with us,” head coach Isaac Brown said.
