STILLWATER, Okla. – Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall mentioned Landry Shamet's 2017 performance, so Jamarius Burton knew a little about the history in Gallagher-Iba Arena and lot about his importance to the game plan.
The Cowboys pressure, trap and deny passes and the point guard needs to navigate all that, make decisions, and stay composed. In 2017, Shamet did it with 30 points and five assists, highlighted by an almost flawless second half, in a win over Oklahoma State. On Sunday, Burton added to that history with a different, but equally effective, run as point guard in an 80-61 win.
