It’s difficult to pinpoint the root of Wichita State’s offensive troubles this season because there are multiple causes.
The margin for error is so thin this season with so much inexperience that it doesn’t take much to expose the flaws of the Shockers. They aren’t stocked with consistent shooters, so the offense struggles when WSU isn’t able to manufacture open looks.
But WSU coach Gregg Marshall is most perturbed when WSU has the opportunity for an open look, but the ball handler doesn’t make the read quick enough or isn’t prepared to make the play.
That has been a focus for the Shockers (12-12, 5-7 American) as they head to Tulsa (16-10, 6-7) for a crucial road test at 8 p.
