Wichita State’s women’s basketball team has one major weakness and a bunch of ways to cancel it out.
The Shockers rarely shoot well from the perimeter – and sometimes they barely even shoot from the perimeter. But they can rebound, they’re active defensively and have a star – Rangie Bessard – who does a little bit of everything.
All of those nullifying components were present on Sunday afternoon. The Shockers had many advantages, but no answer for Northern Iowa’s nine three-pointers in UNI’s 63-61 win at Koch Arena.
WSU (5-8, 0-2 MVC) made one three-pointer. The Shockers, who made 25 of 49 shots, played to their strengths and got standout performances from Bessard and TaQuandra Mike, but too often they were counting by two.
