Udeze’s career-night helps Shockers surge past Runnin’ Bulldog

Wichita State sophomore Morris Udeze goes up for a contested shot during the game against Gardner-Webb on Nov. 19 inside Charles Koch Arena.

After sustaining a season-ending shoulder surgery last season, Morris Udeze wasn’t sure if he’d be playing at all this season.

The thought of redshirting crossed the Houston native’s mind. He thought about taking the season off, continuing his rehab, and coming back next season at full strength. But his rehab went better than expected.

Udeze has been a major force for the Shockers in their blistering 4-0 start to the season. On Tuesday against Gardner-Webb, Udeze led the team with 13 first-half points in his second consecutive start.
