A Wichita State men’s basketball team with this much youth and inexperience was always going to mystify coach Gregg Marshall in some ways early in the season.
Maybe the biggest mystery through WSU’s 4-3 beginning to the 2018-19 campaign is point guard Ricky Torres’ 0-for-13 start on three-pointers.
This is a guard who was a junior-college All-American last season at Missouri State-West Plains, where he made 43.3 percent of his threes on decent volume (five attempts per game). Reviewing the film from this season reveals that nine of Torres’ 13 threes have been catch-and-shoot chances with no contest, perfect conditions for a shooter.
