GAME NOTES:

• Wichita State closes out the non-conference portion of its schedule Wednesday against Prairie View A&M (6 p.m. CT, ESPN+).
• This is the fourth meeting between the schools and the first in 22 seasons. The Shockers swept three games from the Panthers over a four-year span (1996-99) under former head coach Randy Smithson.
• WSU is looking to bounce back from Saturday's 62-52 loss to North Texas -- its first at the Roundhouse in over a year. Morris Udeze scored 17 points to go with a career-high 12 from Craig Porter Jr. The Shockers led by as many as 10 points early in the second half before fading against a UNT team that ranks among the national leaders in scoring defense.
• PVAM (0-9) is still in search of its first win but has played the nation's second-toughest schedule, per NCAA NET. The Panthers have won a share of three-straight Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) titles.
• The Shockers have been excellent on the defensive end (No. 41 nationally, per KenPom). They force turnovers on 19.2% of opponent possessions (44th) and block 14.0% of all shots (32nd). Foes average just 61.4 points (50th) and are shooting 39.5% (64th) from the field and 28.8% from three (52nd).
• Morris Udeze has scored in a double-figures in each of the last six games (a career-best). He's averaging 15.8 points on 61.8% shooting over that span.
• Over his last three games, Craig Porter has 16 assists (nine of them to Udeze) with just 1 turnover.
• Porter's 2.12 assist-to-turnover ratio now ranks among the top-100 nationally (93rd as of Monday).
• With three triples on Saturday, Tyson Etienne leap-frogged teammate Dexter Dennis on the all-time three-point list. Etienne (153) is tied with David Kyles for ninth -- one ahead of Dennis. The duo are closing in on recent grads Landry Shamet (159, 8th), Markis McDuffie (160, 7th) and Conner Frankamp (164, 6th).

Those hoping to see HCIB pull people for mistakes probably aren't going to see it tonight

[WuDrWu]

That's not good.

[WuDrWu]

So 8 includes Chaunce?

Mo, Kenny, Tyson, Dex, Monzy, Ricky, Qua. 7 healthy.


Double yikes.

I am still hoping for a “my team is on the floor” moment.

[shock-it-to-me]

Stinks to not have Porter, and I’m sorry JP is dealing with a hamstring but I for one am excited to see a shakeup in the starting lineup and more minutes for Council/Jackson.

[1972Shocker]

I take that to mean 8 players including a banged up Chaunce Jenkins. I guess how banged and or limited is Chaunce?

Yes looking at the roster. The 8 has to include Chaunce

Not trying to sound negative but with the Holidays and omicron I would expect very poorly attended game. I would be there but am sick.

[pinstripers]

Chapman is redshirting also?

[Stickboy46]

Not trying to sound negative but with the Holidays and omicron I would expect very poorly attended game. I would be there but am sick.

Agreed. Of the 5 people I normally go with 4 are sick and 1 is out of town.

Yeah, but they'd be running it so much better if Marshall was busting a vein in his neck chewing their asses.

I'm predicting it will look like the shox have solved many of their offensive problems. They'd better against a team that's 0-9.

But he had one thing we don't now. Accountability.
