Shockers use defensive efforts to push past Norfolk State

After a deflating loss last Sunday at the hands of in-state rival Kansas State, the Wichita State men’s basketball team responded in a big way on Saturday, defeating Norfolk State 71-58.

WSU improved to 7-2 on the season with the win as they look to finish the non-conference slate strong.

The Shockers started out hot by going on a 14-0 run. However, they went the next ten minutes without scoring any points against Norfolk State’s zone. During that 10 minute stretch, the Shockers showed signs of what had been plaguing their early-season offensive struggles.

But after some halftime adjustments from head coach Isaac Brown, the Shocker offense had some of its best ball movement of the season, evident by their 18 assists.
