In front of a packed INTRUST Bank Arena crowd, in-state rival Kansas State shocked Wichita State with a 65-59 upset victory on Sunday.
The Shockers fed off the crowd’s energy in the first half, building up a 12-point advantage but the offense struggled for much of the game after that. WSU finished the game shooting 35% from the field and 22% from downtown.
“I want to apologize to Shocker Nation and to the fans for coming up short tonight,” head coach Isaac Brown. “Keep believing in us.”
WSU’s offense found success early on feeding the ball inside to junior center Morris Udeze – who finished with a game-high 19 points, but WSU struggled to find Udeze in the second half and settled for outside jump shots.
