        Opening round
        Wichita State's string of lopsided victories continued Wednesday afternoon with an 82-47 victory over LSU in quarterfinal action at the Battle 4 Atlantis. The Shockers raced to leads of 11-0 and 30-9 against the overmatched Tigers (4-1) and enjoyed their largest halftime advantage of the season (27 points) at 46-19. A 10-0 run early in the second half pushed the score to 61-29 with 11:16 remaining in the game.

        Semifinals game
        A major statement win wasn't in the cards for Wichita State. No. 10 Louisville used a stingy defensive performance to hand Wichita State its first loss of the season, 62-52.

        3rd Place game
        No. 24 Michigan State's hot-and-cold offense upended an up-and-down Wichita State team, 77-72, in the Battle 4 Atlantis third-place game. After trailing by 18 midway through the second half, WSU's defense turned up the pressure and changed the momentum. A 14-0 Shocker run made it a one-point game near the 4:00-mark.WSU (5-2) had two chances to tie it in the final minute but couldn't convert.

          February 4, 2017 - Illinois State at Wichita State
          A matchup billed as the potential "game of the year" in the Missouri Valley Conference regular season didn't turn out to be much of one. Wichita State rolled to an 86-45 win over Illinois State, Saturday evening at Charles Koch Arena, to avenge its lone conference loss and reclaim a share of first-place in the standings.

          The 55-point swing between games was WSU's largest ever in a Valley home-and-home, topping the previous record of 49, set by the 1972-73 Shockers, who lost by seven points at West Texas State but beat the Aggies a week later in Wichita by 42 (103-61). In 1955, the Shockers lost by 21 in Peoria but won the rematch by 27 at WU Fieldhouse (+48)

          Highlights: Men's Basketball vs Illinois State (Feb. 4, 2017)


          February 25, 2017 - Wichirta State at Missouri State
          No. 25/25 Wichita State secured a share of its fourth-straight Missouri Valley Conference title with an 86-67 win at Missouri State, Saturday afternoon.

Gregg Marshall becomes the first Valley coach in 60 years to win five titles.

                      • November 1, 2017 – AP and Coaches Poll Rankings
                        Wichita State took the No. 7 slot in Wednesday's Associated Press Preseason Poll. It's the fourth time in five years that the Shockers have opened in the AP Top-25. Prior to that, WSU teams had appeared just three other times since 1961 when the AP began publishing preseason rankings. The No. 7 ranking is WSU's highest starting point in 36 years. The Shockers followed up a 1981 Elite Eight appearance as the AP's preseason No. 6 in November, 1981.

                        Wichita State is No. 8 in the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll, released Thursday. It's the program's highest preseason ranking in 36 years. With all five starters and their top-eight scorers back, the Shockers (31-5 last year) are a trendy choice heading into their inaugural year in the American Athletic Conference.
