No. 6 Wichita State is heading to the Maui Jim Maui championship game after 14-point win over Marquette Tuesday.
The Shockers started the game with more poise than Monday’s game against Cal, taking an early lead.
Towards the end of the first half, Wichita State’s offense was at a standstill, going six minutes of play without hitting a field goal and allowing Marquette to tie the game.
A layup by sophomore guard Landry Shamet broke WSU’s dry spell and kick-started the offense as the Shockers took a five-point lead to half time.
Marquette tied it up again early into the second half, but WSU took control of the game with their lockdown defense.
