RH: Poor Bear-Chandler Steps Up

By Paul Suellentrop

Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall talks about the need to rev up Isaiah Poor Bear-Chandler, his freshman center who possesses scoring skills and sometimes doesn't display them with the desired ferocity.

Poor Bear-Chandler's parents saw the same issues and may have stepped in with a fix.

"I had a long talk with my parents," he said. "They were telling me I wasn't playing like I usually do. I had to change. One big change was I had to get in the gym more."

That chat appears to be paying off for Poor Bear-Chandler and the Shockers (7-7, 0-2 American Athletic Conference), who play at No.
