Wichita State interim coach Isaac Brown reminded the Zoom faces that Morris Udeze had started games at center earlier in his career.
"He's starting to be that guy again," Brown said after a 72-53 win over Tulsa at Koch Arena.
Wednesday's effort provided the strongest evidence to date that Udeze, a 6-foot-8 junior from Houston, is the big man who can help the Shockers win at an acceptable rate. He scored a career-high 20 points and matched his career-high with eight rebounds.
The Shockers (8-3, 4-1 American Athletic Conference) swept the season series from Tulsa (7-4, 4-2) and remain percentage points behind No.
