RH: Wichita State Relies Heavily On Defense In 4-2 Start

By Paul Suellentrop

Wichita State played its most complete basketball game on Saturday – maintaining solid defense while enjoying its best scoring game of the season in an 83-71 win over Tarleton State.

The defense that has sustained the Shockers in their 4-2 start will get its biggest test of the season when Missouri (7-0) visits Koch Arena on Tuesday (7 p.m. ESPN+). The Tigers average 93.3 points and are shooting 52.6 percent from the field – all in home games.

"They've got some incredible offensive numbers," Wichita State coach Isaac Brown said.
