KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) has named Wichita State its NCAA Division I National Team of the Week for Feb. 12-18.
The Shockers moved to within a game of first place in the American Athletic Conference standings last week with wins over Temple and fifth-ranked Cincinnati. WSU overcame a 14-point halftime deficit on Thursday to defeat Temple, 93-86. On Sunday, the Shockers snapped Cincinnati's nation-best 39-game home winning streak and claimed their first true road win over a top-five opponent in 54 years.
Wichita State is the second American Athletic Conference program to be honored by the NABC this year, joining SMU.
