Lou Gudino calls it "offensive sensitivity." Dexter Dennis' resistance to that ailment might be his greatest strength.
Some players sag on defense when they aren't scoring.
Dennis is the Shocker stopper and his effort remains constant on defense. That was true for the first two months of the season when his shot slumped. It remains true over the past six games in which he is 15 of 31 from three-point range.
His "offensive sensitivity" is not noticeable, which is why he is one of the American Athletic Conference's top defenders.
"He's defended from the day he got here," said Gudino, Wichita State assistant coach.
