For the last four games, Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall knew exactly who were the toughest guys that stepped out on the court. Saturday proved to be no different. For the fifth game in a row, Marshall made sure to mention that sophomore guards Erik Stevenson and Jamarius Burton were those guys.
And it’s a statement he’s started every press conference with during the two’s hot streak.
“That was a good performance by us. I thought Erik and J.B. (Burton) were just two of the toughest guys on the court, and J.B. made big shot after big shot late in the clock,” Marshall said on Saturday.
