EVANSVILLE, Ind.
There is no more reason for caution, or manners, before officially calling the Missouri Valley Conference basketball race for Wichita State.
The 22nd-ranked Shockers routed second-place Evansville 78-65 on Sunday at the Ford Center to sweep the season series and put down their most serious challenger. On Wednesday, Southern Illinois, tied with Evansville, visits WSU and fans of fake drama might worry a bit. In reality, it’s over and the only question is if WSU can go 18-0 in the MVC for the second time in three seasons.
After Sunday, who would bet against it, such was its complete ruination of an experienced, talented team?
