In the old days of Wichita State baseball, this is what would be known as a get-right game. The Shockers (6-1) play Central Arkansas (1-6) on Thursday in a game they need to play well in to restore some bounce before a tough stretch.
It could also be known as a get-tough game.
Wichita State went 1-1 in the Cancun Challenge, its first big challenge of the season, last week. The buzz after a 70-47 thumping of South Carolina – a game in which the Shockers led 41-22 at half – quickly faded. A 75-63 loss to West Virginia became the primary lesson from the trip.
