For the first time this season, the Wichita State men’s basketball team fully imposed its will on an opponent.
WSU forced Rice into 10 straight turnovers at one point and held a double-digit lead for 35 minutes in its 90-61 rout of the Owls on Sunday afternoon at Koch Arena.
Even if the opponent was an outmatched Rice (3-4) team, the youthful Shockers (3-3) can’t take any win for granted this season. The win also snapped a rare two-game slide at Koch Arena for WSU and was the team’s first win in front of its home fans since February.
