RH: Lots to Learn After Close Win Downtown
By Paul Suellentrop
The Shockers spent their post-game news conference speaking frankly. They defeated Southern Mississippi 63-60 in front of 9,356 fans at Intrust Bank Arena, but nobody appeared to feel great about the performance.
Wichita State (6-4) built a 16-point lead with 10:46 to play. That seemed forgotten in the assessments because of the mistakes that allowed Southern Miss to take a 60-59 lead with 53 seconds to play.
"We look good, then the next thing you know it's like we lose our mind," Wichita State senior Markis McDuffie said. "We're 10 games in. There's no reason why we should still be struggling with this."
