TULSA
No. 23 Wichita State held Tulsa to 16 baskets and forced 16 turnovers and it is hard to lose when that statistic goes a team's way.
Tulsa knocked off Wichita State 54-51 on a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Elijah Joiner. The runner kicked off a court-storming by the student section and put the Hurricane alone in first in the American Athletic Conference.
Shockers coach Gregg Marshall didn't need to talk about much more than his team's shooting statistics. Wichita State took 15 more shots than Tulsa – quite often another indicator of a winning performance.
