The one-two scoring punch of Craig Porter Jr. and Ricky Council IV helped Wichita State knock out visiting East Carolina, 70-62, Saturday afternoon at Charles Koch Arena in the regular season finale both schools.
The Shockers (15-12, 6-9 American) locked up the No. 7 seed in next week's Air Force Reserve American Athletic Conference Championship and will meet either Tulsa or South Florida – the No. 10 seed – in Thursday's first round (2 p.m. CT, ESPNU).
Tulsa currently holds the 10-seed, but USF can steal it with a win at Temple and a Tulsa loss to UCF.
