Wichita State started Saturday's game much like it did at South Florida four days earlier. The Shockers couldn't score and struggled to run their offense at UConn's Gampel Pavilion. They fell behind big and that told the story, again.
UConn defeated Wichita State 80-60 to hand the Shockers their third consecutive loss.
On Saturday, the Shockers (8-11, 1-6 American Athletic Conference) started the game with a Jamarius Burton turnover that led to a UConn layup. They missed their first sevens and trailed 10-1 before two free throws with 14:56 to play in the half by Samajae Haynes-Jones registered on the scoreboard.
