n years past, an unpredictable game like basketball was rather predictable. For years, WSU’s athletic department has been able to prepare for soft promotions and schedule them for various points of the game, and in games where the Shockers lead by more than 10 points, the promotions did little harm. Blowout games like that are a thing of the past, and there needs to be more consideration to from the promotion’s staff on how to build crowd energy.
Wednesday night I witnessed something quite rare: Wichita State losing at Koch Arena.
In fact, it was only the second time in my three years at the university such a thing has happened.
