WSU wins exhibition in blowout fashion, look toward regular season

Wichita State sophomore Eirk Stevenson enters Charles Koch Arena during the start of the exhibition between Wichita State University and Northeastern State University on Tuesday, Oct. 29.

Wichita State coasted to an exhibition victory on Tuesday, defeating Division II Northeastern State by a score of 92-57.

In the first half, the Shockers were in a fight with the RiverHawks. Despite their struggles offensively at times, the Shockers took a 15 point lead into the locker room.

As Gregg Marshall typically does, he rallied the troops and the Shockers played a totally different half of basketball. With an improved focus on defense and rebounding, the Shockers responded with a strong second half outscoring NSU by 20 points en route to a 35 point victory.
