It had been a decade since the last time Gregg Marshall and the Shockers were mired in a four-game losing slump and the week had come where WSU was set to host two of the conference’s best teams in Central Florida and Cincinnati.
Coming away with at least one win this week was crucial.
WSU ensured that late Wednesday, snapping out of its funk to beat Central Florida 75-67 at Koch Arena late Wednesday. It was the first win for WSU (8-8, 1-3 AAC) since Dec. 19 and it snapped the seven-game winning streak by UCF (13-3, 3-1 AAC), which was the last unbeaten in the American Athletic Conference.
