Wichita State is set for its biggest game of the season thus far, taking on the Arizona Wildcats in the quarterfinals of the Roman Main Event on Friday.
Arizona enters the matchup 3-0 on the season and is No. 26 in KenPom. The Wildcats are the first Power-Five opponent WSU faces on the season, as the Shockers look to notch its first quality win on their resume.
“I’m excited about the challenge,” head coach Isaac Brown said. “These tournaments are big time, they can definitely help you get into the NCAA Tournament with some quality wins. Arizona’s a quality basketball team.
