  • Today in Shockers Sports History: February 4th

    For the day, the Shockers are:
    18 and 10

    Regular Season (Games of Interest):
    2017 – (#RV) WSU Beat (#RV) Illinois State in Wichita 86-45. Conner Frankamp scored 18 points and Shaquille Morris had 11 points and 11 rebounds and Wichita State put a beat down on Illinois State in an 86-45 win on Saturday night as the Shockers drew even atop the Missouri Valley Conference standing. Wichita State led 35-22 at halftime and used a 19-2 run to start the second half pushing the lead to 30 points in less than six minutes. Wichita State (21-4, 11-1) shot 8 for 9 from the floor during that span.

    2015 – (#16) WSU Won at Bradley in Peoria, Ill. 62-59. Wichita State appeared to be on its way to an easy win Wednesday night before it struggled to score down the stretch. Fred VanVleet then stepped up at a critical time for the Shockers. VanVleet made two free throws with 4.6 seconds left, and No. 16 Wichita State held on for a 62-59 win at slumping Bradley. "At one point, you think the game is over," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. "Then it's not over. That's to their credit." The Shockers went without a field goal for the final 12 1/2 minutes in their first game since Saturday's 70-54 loss at Northern Iowa. After VanVleet's clutch foul shots, Evan Wessel stole Bradley's ensuing inbounds pass near midcourt. Ron Baker had 14 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Shockers (20-3, 10-1 Missouri Valley), who led 35-22 at halftime. Tekele Cotton and Darius Carter had 10 points apiece.

    2012 – Beat Indiana State in Wichita 71-66. Garrett Stutz scored 24 points and pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds, and Wichita State moved into a first-place tie in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 71-66 victory over Indiana State on Saturday night. Toure Murry added 14 points and Carl Hall had 13 off the bench for the Shockers (20-4, 11-2), who improved to 18-2 in their past 20 games. Wichita State tied No. 13 Creighton, which lost at the buzzer to Northern Iowa earlier Saturday. Wichita State took the lead for good on two Hall free throws with 12:15 to play. But the Sycamores stayed within single digits the rest of the way, pulling within 66-62 on an Odum 3-pointer with 45 seconds left. The Shockers made five free throws after that to secure the win.

    2006 – Beat Southern Illinois in Wichita 71-63 (2OT). Paul Miller scored a career-high 30 points, six in the second extra period, and Wichita State beat Southern Illinois 71-63 in double overtime Saturday. P.J. Couisnard added 14 points for the Shockers, (19-5, 10-3 Missouri Valley), who won for the eighth time in their last nine games and held on to first place in the conference standings. Southern Illinois (16-7, 9-4) lost its second straight game. The Salukis trailed by 11 points in the second half before mounting a comeback. Jamal Tatum hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer in regulation for Southern Illinois, forcing a 53-all tie and giving him 1,000 career points. With the score tied at 58 near the end of the first overtime, Wichita State had the ball and a chance to win. But Matt Brauer, driving toward the basket after taking a pass from Miller, lost the ball and the game went to double overtime. Kyle Wilson and Sean Ogirri added 10 points each for Wichita State
