The Wichita State women’s basketball team’s 4-7 record in the American Athletic Conference may be unremarkable, but their record when they play a team a second time certainly is.
After beating SMU 53-42 at Koch Arena on Sunday, the Shockers improved to 3-0 in rematch games in conference play. WSU also lost to East Carolina and Memphis before beating those teams.
What makes this turnaround even more impressive is the fact that WSU wasn’t losing close games, it was being blown out. ECU, Memphis and SMU beat the Shockers by a combined 71 points in the first matchup.
