Road wins are quite often about having the best player on the court in your jersey. It helps when that best player is also the guard who runs the game and scores in tense moments.
On Monday, Wichita State enjoyed the benefits of great guard play in its 91-84 win at Western Kentucky. Senior Justin Hill, in his first game as a Shocker, scored 31 points, grabbed eight rebounds and handed out six assists.
While Western's Babacar Faye also played a superb game, he went scoreless for almost nine minutes late in the game when the Shockers limited him with their defense.
