With just under 13 minutes left in the second half, Markis McDuffie bumped into teammate Erik Stevenson, tripped, and put up a forced shot that didn’t even hit the rim.
Two possessions later, McDuffie got into a jawing match with a Virginia Commonwealth player, and after exchanging words, McDuffie shoved the defender. He was called for an offensive foul that probably should have been a technical. He was clearly frustrated.
The same could be said about the entire Wichita State team, playing with a depleted roster in the second half. The Rams entered the second half on a 14-0 run, increasing their lead to 17.
