Wichita State coach Terry Nooner expected to get a lot of mismatches because of Memphis' switching style of defense. He wanted the Shockers to work those advantages and they did.
The Shockers defeated Memphis 71-66 by shooting 48.4-percent, their high in American Athletic Conference play, and outscoring the Tigers 50-32 in the paint.
"We talked about attacking the paint, dominating the paint," Nooner said. "They had a mindset today that they wanted to get buckets in the paint."
Daniela Abies and Jayla Murray led that scoring emphasis.
