  • Today in Shockers Sports History: December 14th

    For the day, the Shockers are:
    15 and 9

    Regular Season (Games of Interest):
    2019 - Beat Oklahoma at INTRUST Bank Arena 80-75. A 12-0 second-half run lifted Wichita State to an 80-75 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday evening at INTRUST Bank Arena. A year after being outrebounded by 19 in a 32-point loss in Oklahoma City (both Marshall Era low-points), the Shockers (9-1) finished +17 on the glass and outscored the visiting Sooners 34-12 in the paint. WSU shot a season-best 90 percent from the foul line (18-of-20).

    2013 - (#12) WSU beat Tennessee at INTRUST Bank Arena 70-61. Midway through the second half Saturday, Tennessee was following dunks with dunks and holding No. 12 Wichita State without a field goal for nearly 6 minutes. Then Tekele Cotton took over. He made two free throws. Then he blocked two Tennessee shots on the same possession, leading to a transition opportunity he finished with a runner while being fouled. The crowd of 14,356 in the downtown Intrust Bank Arena went crazy, and Wichita State would not trail again after Cotton's free throw made it 46-44 with 9:09 remaining. Darius Carter had 11 points and 14 rebounds while Cleanthony Early added 13 points for the Shockers (10-0), who are off to the best start in school history.

    2011 - Beat Chicago State in Wichita 94-44. One of the largest Margin of Victory wins. Ben Smith scored 22 points as Wichita State rolled to a 94-44 victory over Chicago State Wednesday night. Joe Ragland had 12 points and David Kyles added 10 for the Shockers (8-2), winners of six straight. They had no problem with Chicago State (0-10), shooting 50 percent in the first half on the way to a 53-24 lead. Wichita State outrebounded the Cougars 53-34 and limited them to 27 percent shooting. Twelve players scored for the Shockers, who finished with 44 percent accuracy from the field.

    1979 - Beat Michigan State in Wichita 55-54

    1977 - Beat Northern Iowa in Wichita 81-65

    1963 - Beat Bradley in Wichita 56-50

    1962 - Won at BYU in Provo, Utah 67-61

    1961 - Beat in Ohio in Wichita 58-55

    1942 - Won at Camp Crowder in Camp Crowder, Mo. 45-30. Then Camp Crowder team was the Army Base team getting ready to head overseas for WWII.

      I'll just put this here for now...

      Oh, how I miss the good old days. Ross and I loved playing for Leonard Umnus; he was a master X and O's coach and would have 'fogged up' Phog Allen if only given the chance. I'm ready for some "Today in Shockers Sports History" results from coach Umnus and Ross's heydays; those were the days my friends...

      Leonard Umnus
      Career Record (major schools): 3 Years, 47-14, .770 W-L%
      School: Wichita State (47-14)

      Ross McBurney
      "He then attended Wichita State University from 1926 to 1929, where he became the school's first basketball All-American in 1927.[2] That year he led the Shockers to a 19-2 record and a third-place finish in the Amateur Athletic Union tournament. He was also named to the AAU All-American team that year.[3]"

        There. F28 seat 3.

        Jay Vincent was a nice player, but that team lost a lot in Magic and Special K after their Natty.
