Shockers End Season in First Four of NCAA Tournament

WEST LAFEYETTE, Ind.—The Wichita State men's basketball team dropped its First Four matchup of the NCAA Tournament, 53-52, to Drake on Thursday night inside of Mackey Arena.

The game came down to the final shot for the second consecutive game. Alterique Gilbert's last-second attempt fell to the floor as time expired.

The Shockers had a final shot after it looked unlikely they would have the chance to hoist a shot.

With 21 seconds remaining, Drake's Joseph Yesufu knocked down a pair of free throws to bring the Bulldogs' lead to four.
