Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall was nothing more than puzzled after Saturday’s roller coaster win against Southern Mississippi.
“I’m glad we survived,” Marshall said. “I was very disappointed in the way we played down the stretch in the last 11 minutes after we get the 16-point lead it was just bad basketball.”
The Shockers’ play as of late has been a tale of two halves. Saturday night was no different.
Markis McDuffie, Samajae Haynes-Jones, and Jaime Echenique led the Shockers to an eight-point lead at halftime, and the Shockers started the second-half hot as well, ultimately reaching a 17-point lead.
