The mood in Gregg Marshall’s locker room is much different than it typically is at the mid-point in the season.

“I don’t think anyone is real happy about it,” Marshall said. “I think we would like a different result.”

It’s the first time since 2009 that Wichita State has started conference play with three losses. Riding a four-game losing streak, the Shockers are quickly sinking to the bottom of the conference standings with Central Florida, the preseason favorite, and Cincinnati, last year’s conference champion, on the docket.

“We’ve gotten close,” Marshall said.
