Strong Second Half Lifts Wichita State Past WKU

WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State gave up 22 offensive rebounds and committed 19 turnovers, but found a way to defeat WKU, 71-61, Thursday night in Charles Koch Arena.

Wichita State (2-0) was able to overcome an up-and-down game in large part to WKU going 0-for-21 from beyond the arc. It marked the first time an opponent failed to connect on a three-pointer since Loyola Marymount went 0-for-5 on Dec. 22, 2014.

On a night when the Shockers played only seven guys, four of those seven finished in double figures, led by Kenny Pohto with 16.
