Sometimes all it takes is a reminder, at least in Wichita State freshman Dexter Dennis’ case.
The 6-foot-5 freshman from Baker, La. arrived at WSU with a Division I-ready body. He possessed the athleticism, range, length and ability to be a terror for defenses trying to box him out pursuing offensive rebounds.
After coming up empty on the offensive glass against Memphis, Dennis was challenged by WSU basketball coach Gregg Marshall to chase more offensive rebounds and he responded with four second chances and 14 points in Sunday’s 85-81 overtime loss to Temple.
“I told him back in the fall before we started playing games he was going to be a special offensive rebounder,” Marshall said Monday on his coaches’ show.
