One of the first people Wichita State’s Ron Baker met at the LeBron James Skills Academy knew all about Baker’s skills.
At the serving line for the opening banquet, Baker saw Gonzaga guard Kevin Pangos, an unfortunate witness to Baker’s shooting display in the final minutes of a 2013 NCAA Tournament game. WSU defeated the top-seeded Zags 76-70 and Baker made four three-pointers.
“He’s still pretty bitter from the loss,” Baker said. “He said, ‘My coach is still mad at me — I shouldn’t have let you shoot that three from the corner.’ ”
