ST. LOUIS
Wichita State faces a tense week of what-ifs and bracket watching after Saturday’s 57-52 loss to Northern Iowa in the semifinals of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
The Shockers (24-8) now must wait a week to find out their NCAA Tournament at-large fate. UNI (21-12) will try to repeat as tournament champion on Sunday.
Jeremy Morgan’s rainbow three-pointer, contested by Evan Wessel, gave the Panthers a 55-52 lead with 1:18 to play.
The Panthers regained possession when Matt Bohannon knocked the ball away from WSU’s Fred VanVleet. After a scrum on the floor for the ball, it rolled out of bounds.
