It looked for a while like Wichita State men’s basketball fans would have little to be thankful for on Thanksgiving, but clutch baskets by senior guard Harlond Beverly and fifth-year guard Justin Hill helped the Shockers come away with the win on Turkey Day.
After not winning an overtime game last year, Wichita State was able to fend off the University of Minnesota in overtime on Thursday, 68-66. The Shockers won their first overtime game since February 2023.
With the win, WSU maintained its perfect start to the season at 6-0 while Minnesota dropped to 5-2.
