The Wichita State women’s basketball team executed the two things coach Keitha Adams constantly harps on and picked up its first American Athletic Conference and road win, a 62-44 victory at Tulane on Saturday.
It was a quality victory — Tulane is a clear top-half team in the conference and entered with a 13-5 record — that snapped a five-game losing streak. But more importantly for the Shockers (8-11, 1-5 AAC), the win showed the nation’s fifth-youngest team a glimpse of their potential when they limit turnovers and focus on rebounding.
Now the Shockers return home to Koch Arena for a crucial week where they will host the two teams they’re currently tied with at the bottom of the standings.
