    For the day, the Shockers are:
    19 and 10

    Regular Season (Games of Interest):
    2019 – Beat Tulane Wichita 77-62. Senior Markis McDuffie scored 25 points to lift Wichita State to its fourth-consecutive victory, 77-62, over Tulane, Saturday night, Feb. 9, at Charles Koch Arena. WSU (12-11) moved back over the .500-mark for the first time since early January and improved to 5-6 in American Athletic Conference play, following a 1-6 start. Wichita State's four-game winning streak is a season-best. The Shockers are 2-0 all-time against Tulane. The teams will meet again Mar. 9 in the regular season finale in New Orleans. McDuffie – The American's leading scorer -- notched his 10th 20-point game of the season, tying Cleanthony Early for the Marshall Era's single-season record. He was 8-of-14 from the field, including 4-of-7 from distance, and added a team-high eight rebounds. McDuffie also jumped Gus Santos for 23rd on the career-scoring chart. He has 1,288 points.

    2017 – (#RV) Beat Missouri State in Wichita W 80-62. Wichita State cruised to an 80-62 victory over Missouri State on Thursday night for its seventh straight win. Wichita State (22-4, 12-1 Missouri Valley), who beat Illinois State by 41 points on Tuesday, pulled into a tie with the Redbirds atop the conference. Missouri State (15-11, 6-7) has lost four of its last five games. Zach Brown added 12 points for the Shockers, who shot 46 percent (25 of 54), made 10 3-pointers, and had five score in double figures. Wichita State had a double-digit lead midway through the first half and led 48-21 at the break. Missouri State was 8-of-28 shooting (29 percent) and committed 14 of its 21 turnovers in the first half. The Shockers had a 32-point lead with 9:35 left.

    2016 – (#25) WSU Won at Drake in Des Moines, Iowa 74-48. Wichita State bounced back from a rare league loss by spreading the ball around in yet another blowout win. Ron Baker and Shaq Morris had 11 points each and No. 25 Wichita State pounded Drake 74-48 on Tuesday night for its 13th win in 14 games. Thirteen players scored for the Shockers (18-6, 12-1 Missouri Valley Conference). They moved within two victories of clinching at least a share of its third straight league title -- with three straight home games up next. "We got more stops. We were able to get out in transition," said Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall, whose team lost at Illinois State 58-53 last weekend. "We had good flow." That proved to be easy for the Shockers against the Valley's worst team. Wichita State never trailed and rattled off a 27-5 run to close the first half in beating the Bulldogs for the ninth straight time.

    2013 – Beat Missouri State in Wichita 79-50. Cleanthony Early scored 16 points and Wichita State snapped a three-game losing streak, defeating Missouri State 79-50 Saturday night. Wichita State has reached the 20-win mark for a school-best fourth consecutive season. The Shockers (20-5, 9-4 Missouri Valley) hadn't lost three in a row in four years. Two weeks ago, they were ranked No. 15 in The Associated Press poll. Nick Wiggins scored 11 points and Malcolm Armstead and Tekele Cotton scored 10 apiece for Wichita State, which took control late in the first half. The Shockers opened up a double-figure lead and kept it the rest of the way. Wichita State outrebounded Missouri State 47-22, with Ehimen Orukpe leading the winners with 10 rebounds while Early grabbed eight boards.
