RH: "You Never Know Where This Winds Up"
RH: NIT Oklahoma State By Paul Suellentrop
On Monday at 1 p.m., Xavier Bell worked on his shooting at Koch Arena to take advantage of an unexpected second life for his college basketball career.
"We get another opportunity to play," he said. "One (game) could lead to two, two could lead to three. You never know where this winds up."
The Shockers, unexpectedly, are in the National Invitation Tournament field. On Sunday morning, Bell believed his time as a Shocker likely ended. On Sunday night, the NIT released the 32-team field and Wichita State – in a surprise to almost everyone – made the cut.
