SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
On Wichita State’s scale of JQH Arena comebacks, this one barely registers.
The Shockers trailed Missouri State by 11 points early in Wednesday’s game. Thanks to a pronounced rebounding edge, things never got out of control and the Shockers regained control by halftime on their way to a 78-62 victory.
That faint echo of the 2014 game, in which WSU trailed by 19 in the second half before winning in overtime, stayed faint.
WSU (11-5, 5-0 Missouri Valley Conference) led 37-36 at halftime after grabbing 13 offensive rebounds and scoring 30 points in the lane.
