It was a throwback performance to Shocker teams of old.
Wichita State dominated the glass and its defense was stifling the opponent. Only this time, it did not end in a Shocker victory.
An arctic cold shooting performance in the second half doomed the Shockers in their 57-53 loss to Davidson in the first round of the Charleston Classic at TD Arena on Thursday. WSU let all of those positives go for naught because of 20.6-percent shooting performance in the second half.
Despite holding the lead for 31 of the game’s 40 minutes, WSU heads to the consolation bracket in Charleston and will play Appalachian State at 3:30 p.
