Time is running out for Wichita State.
The Shockers dropped their fourth AAC road game on Thursday, at the hands of Cincinnati, 85-76. WSU is now 4-7 in conference play and sits firmly in eighth place in the American. The Shockers’ seven conference losses are the most since the 2018-19 season.
The Bearcats shooting from deep proved to be pivotal in Thursday’s loss, going 11-19 (58%) from beyond the arc. Cincinnati entered the game as one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the conference, shooting 31.8% on triples.
“Our defensive intensity wasn’t there, I felt like for 40 minutes and we paid for it,” junior Dexter Dennis said.
