The night before the start of the college basketball season certainly feels different for Gregg Marshall and Wichita State.
Make no mistake, there is still a great anticipation building up to Tuesday’s season opener against Louisiana Tech at Koch Arena, where the Shockers haven’t lost since the building’s renovations were completed in 2003.
Marshall has guided WSU to at least 25 wins for nine straight seasons, but there’s a different type of anticipation for this one. No one is dreaming of championships or top seeds, at least not yet. Most are just curious what the Shockers will look like with the majority of their roster (nine of 13 players) playing at the Division I level for the first time.
