Wichita State won its third straight game on Wednesday. The Shockers didn't look great doing it, but they don't care. They looked good enough in the game's decisive minutes.
"We felt like our best would win at the end," forward Harlond Beverly said.
The Shockers defeated UTSA 69-64 at Koch Arena with a dominant rebounding performance and accurate foul shooting in the second half. They (14-10, 4-7 American Athletic Conference) also made 7 of 15 three-pointers. They survived 20 turnovers.
WSU (14-10, 4-7 American Athletic Conference) led 57-56 with 5:12 to play when it started making plays in a way that reminded Beverly of November and December.
