24 and 11
Regular Season (Games of Interest):
2018 – (#19) WSU Beat Temple in Wichita 93-86. As his teammates headed to the locker room after allowing 56 first-half points, Wichita State senior center Shaquille Morris witnessed their frustration. And he saw opportunity. Would No. 19 Wichita State allow Temple to beat the Shockers for a second time in 15 days? Or would Wichita State storm back? After the Shockers' 93-86 victory Thursday, thanks in large part to Morris' 23 points and 13 rebounds, he had his answer. "Tonight defined our team," Morris said. "We've gotten better. "We needed a game like this, especially being down second half and showing resilience." Darral Willis had 24 points for the Shockers (20-5, 10-3 American Athletic Conference). Morris and Willis, senior big men, were combined 18 of 21 from the floor. "We rode them," Shockers coach Gregg Marshall said. "When they play like that, you can ride them." Austin Reaves scored 11 points for Wichita State, and Landry Shamet and Conner Frankamp each scored 10

Pascal Siakam recorded his 22nd double-double of the season with 17 points and 10 rebounds for New Mexico State (18-9), which had its nine-game winning streak halted. The game was originally scheduled for Dec. 28 but it was postponed when winter weather caused travel issues for the Aggies.
