Another disaster avoided, another no-win game won, another resume-killer survived.
No. 21 Wichita State defeated Bradley 82-56 on Friday at Scottrade Center in the quarterfinals of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
The win puts the Shockers one game closer to the MVC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and one more game removed from the possibility of a ruinous loss. WSU’s NCAA at-large resume didn’t get much better; more importantly, it didn’t get worse.
Second-seeded WSU (28-4) used a 30-8 run in the first half to ruin Bradley’s spunky start.
