Wichita State started the fourth quarter with a four-point lead over Tulsa, not much comfort against a team that can go "three-six-nine in a heartbeat," as coach Keitha Adams said.
Wichita State took that behind-the-arc danger out of the game by playing the fourth quarter on its terms - get shots in the lane from its senior bigs, play physical, draw fouls. The Shockers scored 11 baskets, nine in the paint and two from a step or two outside the lane. They dominated the fourth quarter on their way to an 84-68 win over Tulsa at Koch Arena.
