With Wichita State sitting on the NCAA Tournament, a week before Selection Sunday, the AAC Tournament proves vital in the Shockers’ chances of returning to the big dance.
WSU is set to face off against the winner of Temple and South Florida, with the Shockers going a combined 3-0 against those teams in the regular season.
The Shockers swept a pair of matchups against USF but both games were much different. WSU outlasted USF in a close overtime game on the road. But in their regular-season finale, WSU defeated the Bulls handily by 17 points. WSU only matched up with Temple once this season as the Owls’ COVID-19 issues caused the second matchup to be canceled.
