In a three-game season to impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee, Wichita State is 2-0 and coming home with a Daishon Smith tailwind.
Wichita State defeated Oklahoma 76-73 on Saturday at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Smith scored all 13 of his points in the final 8:28, starting with a video-game dunk, to help the Shockers pull away.
WSU (9-2) can add that win to last week’s victory at Colorado State and hope both pay off in March, if needed. Next Saturday, Oklahoma State visits Intrust Bank Arena, WSU’s final chance to, perhaps, wrap up a quality victory.
