Wichita State has now won back-to-back games after defeating Tulsa on Wednesday, 57-46, overcoming a 15-point deficit in the process. The Shockers came back after leaving the half down by 13 (28-15) to pulling off the conference win.
The Shockers struggled early in the first quarter, and even started the game with two technical fouls because the clock was not turned on during tipoff. To add to the slow start the Shockers finished with a total of four points in the first quarter. Head Coach Keitha Adams remarked on the oddity and low scoring half.
“Thirty-one years of coaching I never had a start off with two technicals,” Adams said.
