When February started, the contribution of Wichita State's seniors seemed unclear. A 1-7 slump overshadowed a 10-3 start that included wins over Minnesota and Kansas State.
By March, the legacy of Wichita State's eight seniors – and especially the five who returned for this season – took on a much different light. They are the group that rallied together and turned the direction of the season in February. While tournament play awaits, this group of Shockers can be remembered for its work during a coaching transition in 2023-24 and the improvement in 2024-25.
