MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Asbjørn Midtgaard knows what it’s like sitting on the bench.
As a freshman on a senior-laden Wichita State team, Midtgaard rarely saw playing time last year. He wasn’t mad because that’s the expectation when a player first joins the Shockers. In Gregg Marshall’s Wichita State system, freshmen rarely touch the court.
This year, however, is an anomaly for the Shockers.
