Gregg Marshall’s inkling proved correct.
Recent practices had Wichita State’s coach concerned that his team’s performance in an exhibition game against Division II’s Catawba wouldn’t be pretty and those worries were validated in WSU’s 75-64 victory at Koch Arena on Tuesday night.
Yes, the Shockers won their 25th straight exhibition game, but it was anything but pretty.
WSU fell behind 6-0 after three possessions, trailed 31 minutes into the game and found itself in a back-and-forth tussle with a Division II team coming off an 11-15 season well into the second half.
