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)
