Before the season began, Wichita State volleyball had the Lipscomb Luv Invitational tournament scheduled, but there was one problem: the other teams refused to play against the Shockers.
As a result, volleyball head coach Chris Lamb had to enter into the Kennesaw State Invitational at the last second, where Wichita State played the host twice in the same tournament.
“No one wanted to play us,” Lamb said. “I got booted. That’s why we had to scramble and do some things late, like that Kennesaw Indiana thing. That was very, very late.”
Lamb places heavy emphasis on building a schedule where Wichita State plays some of the top teams in the country — which sometimes comes at the cost of the team’s win-loss record.
