Wichita State not overlooking Tulane with conference title race in doubt

In the midst of a three-games-in-six-days stretch, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall had a decision to make.

Following WSU’s 76-72 win over Cincinnati on Sunday, the Shockers now have a pair of quick turnarounds this week: Tulane at Koch Arena on Wednesday and a road trip to SMU on Saturday. By NCAA student-athlete rules, the players must receive one day off from practices during that span.

Marshall picked Monday for the day-off, giving players an extra day of rest to mentally and physically recharge after “a war” with Cincinnati. The challenge for No. 13 WSU (21-5, 11-3 American) is installing a game plan for Tulane (13-13, 4-10) in a day.
