Wichita State ended its second-half struggles to end the longest losing streak in the program in a decade with a 75-67 victory over the conference’s top team in Central Florida at Koch Arena late Wednesday.
The Shockers (8-8, 1-3) won their first game in American Athletic Conference play, snapped a four-game losing streak, and protected a halftime lead for the first time in the last three games. It was first conference loss for UCF (13-3, 3-1) and just the third on the season.
Senior Markis McDuffie once again powered the way for the Shockers with a game-high 23 points.
