When the Wichita State players stepped out of their chartered plane in the early hours last Sunday, the morale was at perhaps the lowest it had been the entire season.
They didn’t care that they had played the country’s 10th-most difficult schedule to that point with the country’s fifth-least experienced team. All that mattered to them was that WSU was 1-6 in conference play and they had just played two of their worst offensive games of the season.
If they were going to turn things around their season, well, it might have started for the Shockers with regaining their confidence starting this week in front of more than 10,000 fans at Koch Arena.
