‘He accepted the challenge:’ How Gregg Marshall’s halftime challenge lit a fire under Dexter Dennis

Wichita State sophomore Dexter Dennis celebrates after UCF calls a timeout during the second half of the game against Central Florida on Jan. 25 inside Charles Koch Arena.

Wichita State combo guard Dexter Dennis wasn’t getting into a flow. He had two “atomic bombs,” according to Head Coach Gregg Marshall in the first half against Central Florida on Saturday, and was shooting just 1-6 from the field and 0-2 from three-point range.

During halftime, Marshall kept it real with the sophomore from Louisiana. He said he knows Dennis has aspirations to play in the NBA one day.
