WSU takeaways: Loss to Temple ‘one of the toughest games of my career’ for WSU senior

The Wichita State men’s basketball team is 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 2009, the second year in Gregg Marshall’s tenure, following an 85-81 overtime loss to Temple at Koch Arena on Sunday afternoon. It’s the first three-game losing streak for WSU since 2015.

It was a stunning result for the Shockers, who led by as many as 15 points, and by 11 with 3:35 remaining in regulation, only to allow Temple to reel off an 11-0 run to force overtime.

Here are the five takeaways from the loss:

1. A heartbreaking defeat — WSU had one of its best shooting games of the season and led by double-digits for much of the game, which makes Sunday’s loss that much more devastating.
