Regular Season (Games of Interest):
2015 – (#13) WSU Southern Illinois in Wichita 67-55. The only thing that stopped Darius Carter was a stray forearm. Carter scored a career-high 25 points on 11-of-15 shooting, leading No. 13 Wichita State past Southern Illinois 67-55 on Wednesday night. Late in the second half, the senior was struck in the head and left the game. "His eye is swollen up, scratched up," Shockers coach Gregg Marshall said. "But he was fantastic tonight." Ron Baker had 11 points and Tekele Cotton added 10 as the Shockers (15-2, 5-0 Missouri Valley) won their 23rd straight conference game.

The Shockers' 23-game winning streak in Missouri Valley games is the longest streak in the conference since 1925.

"It's not just that we were able to rest our starters," Marshall said, "we're still trying to lengthen our bench, too, find more guys that can pull the wagon." Fred VanVleet had 22 points and seven rebounds, and Darius Carter added 11 points for the Shockers (18-0, 5-0 Missouri Valley Conference), who extended school records for winning streak and best start to a season in their first game as a top-5 team since 1981.

1957 - Won at Houston in Houston, Texas 68-53
1956 – Won at Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma 64-56
1938 – Beat Fort Hays State on Wichita 39-38 (OT)
1931 – Won at Bethany in Lindsborg 19-16
1921 – Beat Washburn in Wichita 43-30. 1st game at Memorial Gymnasium. In January of 1919, plans were made to erect a gym as a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War I. Percy Bates was one of those students to whom the building was dedicated. The new 2,000-seat facility was built on the same site as the old gym. While not as large as the Forum, it would be located directly on campus, which would generate more student support. The formal opening of Memorial Gymnasium was on Jan. 15, 1921, in a game against the American Legion of Wichita. The gym was known as Memorial Gymnasium until 1926 when it was renamed in honor of Walter Henrion, a local businessman who owned a chain of drugstores and a construction company. With the use of his company, Henrion built the gymnasium and made a significant financial contribution. Henrion was one of the great benefactors of the University, supporting its athletic programs and granting financial aid to many students.
