A valuable lesson can be had from Wichita State’s 70-54 loss at VCU on Dec. 22, a game in which the Shockers committed 17 turnovers on a season-high 27 percent of possessions.
Film study was rough. The guards had to relive moments they wish they could have back. WSU too often wilted under the waves of pressure VCU sent in the halfcourt. The ball stuck and didn’t move crisply.
But now that the Shockers (7-5) have experienced that kind of pressure and studied their mistakes, they hope to be more prepared for the pressure Memphis (8-5) is expected to bring in front of 15,000-plus fans at the FedEx Forum for Thursday’s 8:30 p.
