In a matchup with history dating back to 1906, Wichita State men’s basketball won its 41st meeting against cross-town foe Friends University, 87-72, on Sunday evening. The programs have now met 52 times, having played both of the last two seasons after an 80-year hiatus.
Wichita State won its eighth-straight game against the Falcons and improved to 10-3 on the season. The game was an exhibition for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) opponent and will not count against Friends’ overall record.
