Wichita State Head Coach Gregg Marshall was pleased with how his young team responded in last week’s game with Providence.
The Shockers, who entered the game with an 0-1 record, were down as many as 10 points in the first half to Providence.
“We stopped giving up buckets in transition,” Marshall said. “We started to make some shots. Obviously, we won’t shoot that well every game, but it was good.”
Senior Markis McDuffie hit six of nine shots from three.
The team shot just 28 percent from deep in the season-opener loss to Louisiana Tech.
