The longest road drought for the Wichita State men’s basketball team in 18 years is over.
It took until Feb. 6, but the Shockers conquered their road woes on Wednesday in a 65-49 victory over East Carolina at Minges Coliseum to register their first road win of the season. WSU had lost its six prior road games by an average margin of 16.8 points, but its defense recorded a new season-low in points allowed on Wednesday.
The victory allowed WSU to match its season-long winning streak of three games, as it pulled into a tie with Connecticut for eighth place in the American Athletic Conference with a 4-6 record.
