Bradley's basketball team was collateral damage in the strong statement Wichita State fired off Friday at Scottrade Center. Even though it took 10 minutes for the Shockers to clear their throat.
Leading by just 12-8 at that midway point of the first half, the Shockers began a 30-8 onslaught in the period's final 10 minutes to announce to the nation they're a team most worthy of an NCAA tournament bid. It was Wichita State's 13th consecutive win, all of them by double digits.
"I thought we were ready to play to start the game," said BU coach Brian Wardle.
