The concept of upgrading good shots to great ones sounds simple, but the execution is anything but.
To start with, an offense has to be able to hunt down good looks. And if the first half of American Athletic Conference play for Wichita State proved anything, it’s that good looks cannot be taken for granted.
The ball sticks, players stand around, the dribbles start to greatly outnumber the passes and before you know it, 30 seconds have passed and your offense is left with a contested jump shot.
But the last five weeks, in which the Shockers have revived their season with seven wins in nine games, including Sunday’s 67-55 win at SMU, has seen improved ball movement, player movement and shooting from WSU’s offense.
