  • Today in Shockers Sports History: March 7th

    For the day, the Shockers are:
    6 and 6

    Regular Season (Games of Interest):
    2021 – (#RV) WSU Won vs. South Florida in Wichita 80-63. Tyson Etienne had 21 points as Wichita State extended its winning streak to seven games, topping South Florida 80-63 on Saturday. Dexter Dennis had 14 points for Wichita State (15-4, 11-2 American Athletic Conference). Morris Udeze added 12 points and seven rebounds. Alterique Gilbert had six assists.

    2014 – (#2) WSU Won vs. Evansville in St. Louis, Mo. 80-58. MVC Tournament (St. Louis, Mo./ Scottrade Center). No. 2 Wichita State is still perfect. Calm and collected, too, in a 32nd straight win. The top-seeded Shockers stayed unbeaten with an 80-58 romp over Evansville in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley tournament Friday. "I love how this team goes about their business, their approach and how resolute they are," coach Gregg Marshall said. "They're really, really focused and locked in to the next challenge, and that's how you win 32 in a row." If they're feeling pressure because of the streak, their opponents never noticed. "Fantastic to see what they're doing," Evansville guard D.J. Balentine said after scoring 31 points. "If people say they don't deserve a No. 1 seed, that's silly." Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker scored 17 points apiece and Wichita State set a tournament record with 11 blocked shots, shot 51 percent and held Evansville to 37 percent.

    1985 – Won vs. Indiana State in Wichita 92-65. MVC Tournament (higher seed hosts).

    1959 – Beat Tulsa in Tulsa, Okla. 61-60

    1930 – Won vs. NW Missouri State in Winfield 27-23. Southwestern Intercollegiate Tournament. This was the Shockers first post-season championship.

    1929 – Won vs. Pittsburg State in Winfield 28-25. 1st Round Southwestern Intercollegiate Tournament.
