How Wichita State let a 16-point lead slip away to Memphis

It’s not every day an opponent posts 30 points at Charles Koch Arena.

But Wichita State could do little to stop Jeremiah Martin on Saturday. He scored 37 points. He made all 14 free throws. He sealed the game at the free throw line in the final sequence. He was clutch.

“The one thing I can say about him (Martin) is heart,” Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said.

WSU, in many ways, did a lot of things right. Ultimately, after trading threes and finishes at the rim, Memphis came out three points ahead.

WSU snapped a six-game winning streak wearing its yellow uniforms.
