No. 13 Wichita State looks to keep its momentum and continue its charge to the top of the American Athletic Conference when it travels to Dallas on Saturday afternoon for a key game against injury-depleted SMU at Moody Coliseum.
A win would also allow the Shockers (22-5, 12-3 AAC) to avenge the lone conference home loss they suffered to the Mustangs on Jan. 17, a setback that ended a 27-game home win streak.
Wichita State has won five straight games, the latest a 93-86 nail-biter over Tulane on Wednesday without the services of leading scorer Landry Shamet, who sat out because of illness.
