If Wichita State has learned anything in its first two seasons in the American Athletic Conference, it’s that dominant individual efforts are far more common and can even trump good team performances at Koch Arena.
The Shockers learned the hard away once again on Saturday night as Jeremiah Martin continued his torrid scoring pace in February and delivered a game-high 37 points to help Memphis erase a 16-point, first-half deficit and knock off Wichita State 88-85 at Koch Arena. The Tigers improved to 17-11 overall and 9-6 in AAC play, while WSU (13-13, 6-8) found its recent success halted.
