No. 3 Wichita State had their second-straight INTRUST Bank Arena loss after falling to Oklahoma by eight.
Despite their efforts, The Shockers could not slow down Oklahoma’s transition offense and star point guard Trae Young.
“We couldn’t sustain any momentum,” Head Coach Gregg Marshall said. “We gave them too many open looks.”
Marshall thinks Young was “as good as advertised.”
“I said going into the game I hadn’t seen a freshman guard that I’ve coached against that plays on that level,” Marshall said. “He’s obviously extremely talented and gifted and plays really hard.”
Young finished with 29 points, 21 of which were in the first half.
