Right on schedule, Wichita State’s men’s bowling team had its worst performance in the final tournament of the regular season.
The Shockers have played in Indianapolis’ Hoosier Classic for three straight years, never finishing in the top 12. This year, WSU finished in the top three of 9 of 11 tournaments but placed 15th in Indiana.
It would be a greater concern if WSU hadn’t already shown a knack for quickly eliminating the bad vibes. The Shockers placed 17th in the Hoosier Classic in February 2015 but won the national title two months later.
Last year, WSU followed a 13th-place finish in Indianapolis, its worst of the year, with a third-place national finish.
