The seed is much lower and the record much different, but the Wichita State women’s basketball team still has the attention of every team in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament this week.
That’s the respect earned by winning three straight conference tournament championships, even though the Shockers will be the eighth seed and play Bradley on Thursday at 4 p.m. at the iWireless Center in Moline, Ill. after completing an 8-21 regular season
