Key statistics: Wichita State takes away Evansville’s friendly bounces and soft rims at Ford Center.
On Sunday, WSU held Evansville to a season-low 34.8-percent shooting (16 of 46). Last season, it held the Aces to 30 percent shooting (15 of 50) and 41 points, both lows in the five-season history of Ford Center.
The Shockers, who entered the game averaging 2.9 blocks, blocked a season-high nine, its most since it blocked against the Aces in 2014 in the MVC Tournament. Last season’s high of eight blocks? Also against the Aces.
Aces coach Marty Simmons has seen it before.
