WICHITA STATE BASKETBALL

TUNING INOPENING TIPS

Wichita State (6-4) plays host to Oral Roberts (4-9) at 7 p.m. Wednesday evening inside Charles Koch Arena.

A win guarantees the Shockers a winning non-conference re-cord for the 21st consecutive season.

This is the 12th meeting all-time between WSU and ORU. The Shockers lead the series 6-5. The teams have split six previous games in Wichita. The schools were preseason closed-door scrim-mage opponents in 2016 and 2017 (the latter was ORU coach Paul Mills' first year) but this will be their first public game in five sea-sons. WSU won 71-58 on Dec. 7, 2013 for win No. 9 in a 35-0 start.

ORU posted its first road win of the year on Saturday at Rich-mond. The Eagles (0-6 previously on the road) shot 52.1% and held the Spiders to 29.9% (4-of-30 from three).

The Shockers have won four of their last five after downing Jack-sonville State (69-65) and Southern Miss (63-60) last week. A win over ORU would give them three-straight wins for the first time this year.

Against USM, WSU trailed 60-59 with less than a minute to play but scored the last four points. Jaime Echenique's alley-oop from Ricky Torres provided the go-ahead basket with 42 seconds left. Down three, USM had an opportunity to tie the game on its last possession but missed three-straight free throws with 0.7 seconds to play... 17 was the magic number. WSU finished +17 on the glass, and Echenique and McDuffie shared the scoring lead with 17 points-each. The Shockers led by 17 with 14:00 to play before a furious USM comeback... Echenique recorded his second double-double of the year, finishing with 11 rebounds and a pair of blocks. On Monday (the 17th), the junior center was named to the Ameri-can Athletic Conference Honor Roll.

After putting up eight points in the season opener, Markis McDuffie has scored in double-figures in nine-straight games. He's looking to become just the tenth Marshall Era Shocker to post a double-digit streak of double-digit scor-ing games. Ron Baker did it three times over the course of his career and Clean-thony Early twice.

McDuffie entered the week ranked fourth on the AAC scoring chart (18.4 points per game).

Echenique (team-high 6.6 rebounds) has blocked a shot in each of his first 10 games. It's tied for the third-longest Shocker streak since 1986 (when the block became an official NCAA statistic). It's also WSU's longest block streak to begin a season since 1980 when Cliff Levingston swatted shots in each of the first 10.

THE SERIES WITH ORU WSU leads the all-time series 6-5. The teams have split six meetings in Wichita. The Shockers have faced the Golden Eagles twice in

closed-door scrimmages (2016 & 2017) but this will be their first regular season game since Dec. 2013.

ORU is 1-1 at the Roundhouse since its 2003 renova-tion. ORU's 76-73 win (on Dec. 30, 2003) was the first by a visiting team post-renovation. WSU has lost just 37 games in 16 seasons at CKA (12 of them to non-conference foes).

NOTABLE WSU-ORU GAMES Dec. 22, 1979 -- WSU defeated ORU for the first time in three tries, 70-66, in front of a sellout crowd. Junior point guard Randy Smithson scored 15 points and hand-ed out 11 assists.Jan. 6, 1988 -- WSU's Joe Griffin handed out a school-record 16 assists in a 94-72 Shocker victory.Dec. 12, 1988 -- Sasha Radunovich sanks two free throws with no time remaining for a 92-91 Shocker win in Tulsa. Radunovich was fouled by ORU's Rufus Free-man on a rebound under the basket as time ran out. The first free throw rolled around the rim and dropped. Radunovich calmy swished the second for the game-winner. ORU had taken the lead with 38 seconds to go on Clarence Thompson's seventh three of the game. Haywoode Workman (who went on to both play and of-ficiate in the NBA) scored 28 points for ORU.Dec. 30, 2003 -- ORU's 76-73 win was the first by a vis-iting team in the newly renovated Charles Koch Arena. Dec. 7, 2013 -- WSU improved to 9-0 (on its way to 35-0) with a 71-58 victory. Cleanthony Early (16 points) led a balanced scoring attack.

SCOUTING ORAL ROBERTS ORU returns three starters and five total lettermen off

a team that finished 11-21 last year (5-9 Summit, t-5th). ORU is picked sixth in the nine-team Summit League.

Junior forward Emmanuel Nzekwesi is a preseason second team all-league pick who averaged 12.7 points, 7.2 rebounds a year ago.

Nzekwesi is the team’s leading scorer (14.5) and re-bounder (7.5).

Kevin Obanor (10.3 pgg, 6.3 rpg) ranks second in both categories.

Former Shocker Kaelen Malone (8.4 pgg) is averag-ing a team-high 5.0 assists.

Second-year head coach Paul Mills worked 14 sea-sons under Scott Drew at Baylor before accepting the ORU job.

MATCHUP MASHUP ORU senior point guard Kaelen Malone was a two-

year Wichita State walk-on (2016-18). He appeared in 23 games for the Shockers and totaled 10 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in 61 minutes of action. Malone earned his undergraduate degree from WSU last spring and joined ORU this fall as a graduate transfer.

Neither team has shot the ball well from the free throw line this year. WSU (.651) ranks No. 288 nation-ally in free throw percentage. ORU (.634) is 316th.

WSU has scored 31.0% of its points at the foul line (246th out of 353 teams). Opposing offenses have done 40.7% of their damage at the line (53rd out of 353).

Last week the Shockers faced a pair of teams that thrive on steals. Saturday they take on a VCU team fa-mous for its full court pressure. However, Wednesday offers a slight reprieve. KenPom ranks ORU 333rd (of 351 teams) in defensive steal percentage. The Eagles aver-age just 5.9 steals per 100 possessions.

ORU is 2-6 against Division I competition. The Eagles faced WSU’s AAC rival SMU earlier this month in Dallas, losing 79-67. SMU led by as many as 22 late in the first half.

A SHOCKER WIN WOULD… … make them 7-4 on the year.… be their third-straight (a season-best) and their fifth in six tries.… give them five-straight home wins and make them 76-4 at Charles Koch Arena over the last six seasons.… guarantee a winning non-conference record for the 21st consecutive year.… give WSU a 7-5 lead in the all-time series with ORU.… make WSU 80-8 in home non-conference games in 12 seasons under Gregg Marshall.… move Marshall to within 13 wins of 500 for his career (487-185) and within seven victories of 300 as Shocker head coach (293-102).

A SHOCKER LOSS WOULD… … lower their record to 6-5.… be just their fifth at CKA in the past six seasons.… tie the all-time series with ORU at 6-6.… be less good than a win.

UP NEXT: WSU travels to Richmond, Va. Saturday for its non-

conference finale at VCU. The 3 p.m. CT tip airs nationally on ESPN2.

It's the start of a home-and-home series. VCU makes a return trip to Wichita on Dec. 21, 2019.

WSU is 2-2 all-time against VCU and 1-0 in Richmond, where it won a Bracket Busters return game early in the 2012-13 campaign.

A young VCU team finished 18-15 last year and missed out on the postseason for the first time since 2006. Prior to that, the Rams had posted eight straight 25-win seasons and qualified for seven consecutive NCAA Tournaments.

ABOUT THE SHOCKERS The Shockers (25-8, 14-4 AAC last year) tied for

second-place in their inaugural season in The American and earned a No. 4 seed in last year’s NCAA Tournament but now face a significant re-building project after the loss of six seniors, two transfers, and one early entry to the NBA Draft (Landry Shamet; 26th overall by the 76’ers).

For the first time since 2012, the Shockers opened a season without receiving votes in ei-ther major national poll and were picked eighth (of 12) in the AAC preseason poll.

Roles were largely defined at this time a year ago. WSU returned over 91% of its scor-ing and rebounding (among the top-five in Division I). This year’s squad ranks among the bottom-five nation-ally in minutes returning (11.2%).

Three scholarship players are back from last year’s active roster: seniors Markis McDuffie and Samajae Haynes-Jones and sophomore Asbjørn Midtgaard.

McDuffie is a preseason second team All-AAC pick. The former first team All-MVC selection is looking to bounce back after an injury-plagued junior season.

ALWAYS FRESH: Gregg Marshall used 92 different lineup combina-

tions in the first eight games... WSU has used seven freshmen and 10 total newcomers this year... Freshman have acounted for over 46.5% of total minutes... WSU has had at least one freshman on the court for every second of every game this season... The Shockers have played an average of 32 minutes-per-contest with at least two rookies on the floor and 16 minutes with at least three in the lineup.

Jaime Echenique ranks among conference's top-10 in blocks (6th, 1.30) and field goal percentage (3rd, .591).Category Player Total Conf Nat'lScoring Markis McDuffie 18.4 4 101Blocks/Game Jaime Echenique 1.30 6 144Double-Doubles Jaime Echenique 2 5 128Defensive Reb./Game Jaime Echenique 1.30 6 1443-Point Attempts Samajae Haynes-Jones 62 6 1963-Point Attempts Erik Stevenson 60 8 2253-Pointers/Game Samajae Haynes-Jones 2.20 6 233Free Throw % Markis McDuffie .737 9 237Free Throw Attempts Markis McDuffie 47 9 238Offensive Reb./Game Jaime Echenique 2.20 11 240

EVERYONE IS COLD IN DECEMBER The Shockers haven’t shot the ball particularly well

during the month of December, but neither have their opponents. They’ve held three of their four foes to less than 40% from the field but are shooting a combined 36.5%, themselves, during that stretch.

WSU’s 25.1% shooting performance at Oklahoma was its worst in 21 seasons.

Samajae Haynes-Jones is 11-of-27 (.407) from three-point range in December. The rest of the team is a combined 14-of-68 from deep (.206).

TRENDING: WSU is 4-1 at home this year (3-1 at CKA). WSU exploited its size advantage last week against

Jacksonville State and Southern Miss. They outscored the two opponents, 76-32, in the paint and out-rebounded them both by double-digit margins (+11 vs. JSU and +17 vs. USM).

The Shockers have used five different starting-fives through 10 games. The grouping of Torres-Haynes-Jones-Stevenson-McDuffie-Echenique has opened each of the last two games and is 2-0.

On a per-40-minute basis, Jaime Echenique leads the team in plus/minus (+12.68) ahead of Erik Ste-venson (+4.92), Markis McDuffie (+1.37), Dexter Dennis (+1.24) and Rod Brown (+1.23).

Echenique was +10 in a four-point win over JSU on Wednesday and +15 in Saturday's three-point victory against USM.

Over the last three seasons, the Shockers are 56-2 (6-0 in 2018-19) when outshooting their opponent, compared to 6-14 (0-4 in 2018-19) when outshot.

Erik Stevenson is 12-of-25 (.480) from three-point range in WSU's four campus home games this year but is just 6-of-35 (.171) outside of Charles Koch Arena. He's averaging a team-best 16.0 points at CKA.

In stark contrast, Markis McDuffie is 2-of-19 (.105) at CKA and 19-for-38 (.500) elsewhere.

HOME SWEET HOME Wichita State's on-campus home, Charles Koch

Arena [pronounced "Coke"], is often referred to as "the Roundhouse" for its unique circular shape. The build-ing opened in December, 1955 and the 2017-18 season marks its 62nd season of use.

The Shockers have won just over three-quarters of their games in the arena all-time, at 706-219.

WSU's rise to national relevance began in 2003 with the completion of the Roundhouse Renaissance. A $25 million dollar construction project turned an aging Henry Levitt Arena into one of college basketball's best home environments. The building reopened as Charles Koch Arena for the start of the 2003-04 season.

In the 16 seasons since the renovation, the Shockers are 204-37 on campus. That includes a 155-23 mark under Gregg Marshall.

WSU has won 75 of its last 79 games at Charles Koch Arena over the last six seasons. The only losses came against UNI (Feb. 13, 2016), SMU (Jan. 17, 2018), Cincinnati (Mar. 4, 2018) and Louisiana Tech (Nov. 6, 2018)... 73 of the 79 games in that stretch have come in front of capacity crowds (10,506).

Throw in a 7-2 record at downtown INTRUST Bank Arena, and WSU is 109-8 (.932) overall in Wichita since the start of the 2011-12 campaign.

WSU has been outrebounded just 17 times at Charles Koch Arena under Marshall (178 games).

Charles Koch Arena has played host to 216-consecu-tive regular season crowds of 10,000+, dating back to December of 2004.

WSU was one of just nine schools that sold out every home date in 2017-18.

WSU's home court advantage is owed largely to the school's passionate fan base, with a little assist from science. The arena's circular shape and highly-reflective dome roof amplifies sound and funnels it downward toward center court. During the 2018 finale against Cin-cinnati, decibel meter readings peaked at 120 db.

1,000 FOR McDUFFIE (AND COUNTING) Senior forward Markis McDuffie is the 47th member

of WSU's 1,000-point club. He reached the mark in his 100th game (Dec. 8, 2018 at Oklahoma).

If McDuffie maintains his 2018-19 scoring pace, he'll finish the regular season with 1,404 points -- which would rank 16th all-time.

Nine members of the 1,000-point club -- including McDufie -- played their entire careers under Gregg Marshall. McDuffie is just the fourth from that group to reach 1,000 in 100 games or less. Each of the other three went on to play in the NBA: Toure' Murry (90), Cleanthony Early (67) & Ron Baker (78).

POLL NOTES For the first time since 2012, Wichita State opened a

without receiving votes in either of the major national polls. The Shockers had been preseason nationally-ranked in four of the five previous seasons.

In 2017-18, the Shockers went wire-to-wire in the top-25 for the just the third time in program history (joining the 2013-14 and 2014-15 squads) and peaked at No. 3 in the Dec. 11 AP Poll.

Going back to Dec. 12, 2012 -- a span of almost six years -- WSU has been ranked or received AP and/or Coaches votes in 126 of the last 142 poll weeks.

RECORD BREAKDOWN NON-CONFERENCE NOTABLES Since 2011-12, the Shockers are 77-19 (.802) in regu-

lar season non-conference egames. WSU has had a winning non-conference record in

each of the last 20 seasons.

2018-19 WEEKLY HONORS Jaime Echenique was named to the American Ath-

letic Conference Honor Roll for the week of Dec. 10-16.In two Shocker victories, the 6-11 junior averaged 14.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks on 70 percent shooting (helped by five dunks).

Echenique scored the game-winning basket and notched his second double-double of the year on Satur-day against Southern Miss, finishing with a career-high 17 points, 11 boards and a pair of blocks. WSU trailed 60-59 with less than a minute to play when he con-verted an alley-oop from Ricky Torres for the go-ahead score.

In Wednesday's win over Jacksonville State, Ech-enique put up 12 points and seven rebounds.Date WSU Player AwardNov. 12 Markis McDuffie Player of the WeekNov. 19 Markis McDuffie Honor RollDec. 3 Samajae Haynes-Jones Honor RollDec. 17 Jaime Echenique Honor Roll

TORRES BUSTS SLUMP Ricky Torres' miserable shooting start is behind him.

The junior missed his first 18 three-point attempts to begin the season. Attempt No. 19 (in the final seconds of the first half against Jacksonville State) swished the net, but officials ruled that Torres' release came a split-second after the halftime buzzer. Torres shook it off and made the next one count. His first three-pointer of the year stretched the WSU lead to eight with just under 10:00 to play. Torres finished with a season-high seven points.

A first-team JUCO All-American last year, Torres aver-aged better than two triples-per-game on 43% shoot-ing for Missouri St.-West Plains JC.

Torres has found other ways to help the team when not scoring. He didn't commit a turnover until seven games into the season and currently has a 20:5 assist-to-turnover ratio.

ROAD DECONSTRUCTION: Since the start of the 2013-14 season, the Shockers

own the most road wins (49-9) and highest percentage (.845) in Division I. Three of the nine losses came in OT.

WSU has been the decade's best road team at 75-17 (.815) since 2010-11 campaign.

The Shockers went 9-2 on the road last year and beat two nationally ranked teams on their home floors. On Dec. 2, WSU ended No. 16 Baylor's 46-game non-con-ference home winning streak. On Feb. 18, WSU snapped No. 5 Cincinnati's nation-best 39-game home streak.

25-ALIVE The Shockers have posted nine-straight 25-win sea-

sons. It's one of the four-longest streaks in the nation, trailing only Kansas (13), Gonzaga (11) and Duke (10). VCU's streak ended at seven after an 18-15 finish.

ONE-OR-TWO PUNCH Last year's American runner-up finish in marked the

ninth consecutive year that WSU has finished either first or second in its conference. Just three other programs have longer active streaks: Gonzaga (21) and Kansas (18) won the WCC and Big 12 titles outright in 2018. Belmont (13) was OVC runner-up. WSU won MVC titles in 2012, 14, 15, 16 & 17 and took second in '10, 11 & 13.

SAYING NO T.O.'s Gregg Marshall is a notorius timeout hoarder, pre-ferring to let his players play through adversity while saving his T.O.s for key late-game situations. In 2016-17, the Shockers used just 37 timeouts in 36 games. In 2017-18 they were equally stingy with the stoppages, burning only 38 in 33 games... An inexperienced 2018-19 lineup has forced a slight change in timeout tactics. In 10 games this year, the Shockers have used 17.

2019-20 SCHEDULE: Next season's non-conference slate is beginning to

take shape: In December, 2019 the Shockers will host VCU and

Oklahoma in return games and also travel to Oklahoma State to kick off a new four-year series.

Wichita State is signed on to compete in the Riviera Division of the Cancun Challenge (November, 2019) alongside West Virginia, Northern Iowa and South Carolina. UT-Martin, Gardner Webb, Boston University one other (to be named) make up the Mayan Division.

Teams from the Riviera Division compete in a four-team bracket. In addition, the Shockers will also play up to two preliminary round games in Wichita.

WSU won the 2012 Cancun Challenge title, defeating DePaul and Iowa.

A TRIP TO REMEMBER The Shockers spent three days in the Washington D.C. area leading up to their appearance in the fifth-annual Veterans Classic doubleheader... On Nov. 7, The team toured the U.S. Capitol and the White House -- the latter as a guest of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. A behind-the-scenes tour included a stop in the Oval Office and the opportunity to meet President Donald Trump... The following day players and coaches from WSU, Mary-land and Providence toured the U.S. Naval Academy, observed morning colors and experienced life among the Midshipmen... On Nov. 9, Markis McDuffie scored a Veterans Classic record 32 points and WSU defeated Providence, 83-80 at Navy's Alumni Hall.

30-POINT CLUB Markis McDuffie logged just the eighth 30-point

performance of the Marshall Era in an 83-80 Veterans Classic win over Providence. He was 6-of-9 from three for 32 points. Five of those treys came in the second half to help the Shockers maintain their lead.

McDuffie is the sixth different Marshall Era player to touch 30 at least once. Fellow senior Samajae Haynes-Jones did it last year (31 vs. Savannah State), as did Landry Shamet (30 at Oklahoma State).

NOT MANY WITH TWENTY Erik Stevenson's 21-point effort against Rice on

Nov. 25 was the first 20+ point game by a Shocker true freshman in nearly a decade... It was just the sixth 20-point effort by a freshman (true or redshirt) in 12 years under Gregg Marshall... Notably, each of the other three individuals to accomplish that feat (Toure' Murry, Garrett Stutz and Landry Shamet) went on to earn all-conference honors at some point in their Shocker careers.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WSU has led its conference in rebounding margin in

each of its 12 seasons under Gregg Marshall. Since the start of the decade, WSU has the nation's

third-highest average rebounding margin (+7.75). Only UNC and Michigan State have been better.

BIGGEST WIN TOTALS AT THE BIG TWO-OH Gregg Marshall's 480 career wins were the eighth-highest total in NCAA Division I history for a head coach at the end of his 20th season. (Note -- Gonzaga's Mark Few has over 530 wins but is in only his 19th year).

souri Valley Conference: Cincinnati (1957-70), Houston (1950-60), Memphis (1967-73) and Tulsa (1945-96).

WSU and Tulsa enjoyed a fierce basketball rivalry in the 1980s and have continued to play regularly in the non-conference. Last fall, the two athletic departments announced plans for an official rivalry series “Havoc in the Heartland.”

Cincinnati’s Oscar Robertson still holds the Round-house’s single-game scoring record (50 points in 1958). March 1 marked the 60th anniversary of that perfor-mance. Fittingly, the Bearcats’ first American Era visit to Wichita came just three days later.

The Shockers’ visit to Houston last year was their first since 1960. They had last played at Memphis in 1983.

* - Tulsa joined in 1935. The teams overlapped for 51 seasons, beginning in 1945 when WSU joined the league.

AMERICAN POW6R Three teams from the American Athletic Conference

made the 2018 NCAA Tournament and finished in the AP Poll (No. 8 Cincinnati, No. 16 WSU & No. 21 Houston).

Cincinnati's No. 2 seed was the highest in league his-tory. Prior to that, no American school had been seeded higher than fourth (Louisville in 2014).

No. 6 seed Houston defeated San Diego State on a last-second shot in the first round but saw the tables turned in the Round of 32, falling to Final Four bound Michigan on a buzzer-beating three pointer.

In its first five seasons, The American has earned 15 NCAA Tournament bids, highlighted by UConn’s 2014 National Championship.

THEY MIGHT BE ARE GIANTS Gregg Marshall called Shocker freshman Asbjørn

Midtgaard the most physically imposing player that he's ever coached. The Danish to English translation of his first name is, quite fittingly, "God's Bear."

Midtgaard is the sixth seven-footer in Shocker his-tory and the third to play for Marshall at WSU, joining Ehimen Orupke (starting center on the Shockers' 2013 Final Four team) and Garrett Stutz (a first team all-conference pick as a senior in 2012). Greg Dreiling played 10 seasons in the NBA but transferred from WSU at the end of his freshman season.

Is Midtgaard the most imposing Shocker ever? Per-haps not. 7-foot-1 Paul “Big Show” Wight, averaged 2 points 2 rebounds as a reserve center for the Shockers during the 1991-92 season before taking his talents to the wrestling ring. The seven-time world champbecame one of WWE’s biggest stars (literally and figuratively).

OF MICS AND MEN 26 D-I play-by-play announcers have been at their

current posts for at least 31 years. WSU's Mike Ken-nedy (39th season) is tied for eighth on the active list. The opener against Louisiana Tech was his 1,191st con-secutive game (excluding exhibitions).

Wichita State radio broadcasters Kennedy (pbp) and Dave Dahl (analyst) begin their 38th season working home games together. The pair have the second longest tenure in Division I basketball, trailing only Pittsburgh's 40-year duo of Bill Hillgrove and Dick Groat. Dahl missed the 2011-12 season during a successful cam-paign for district court judge, but the tandem has oth-erwise been in place since 1980-81.

WuSHOCK: A TRUE ORIGINAL Legend has it that the name "Shockers" first appeared in 1904 on a poster advertising a football game be-tween Wichita State-then Fairmount College-and the Chilocco Indians. The team's manager chose the name because many of the players earned money during the off season harvesting (or "shocking") wheat in the sur-rounding fields... When it came time to bring the name to life, students created WuShock – a big, bad, muscle-bound bundle of wheat – whose name was derived from a period in time when the university was simply known as Wichita University or WU.

GREGG MARSHALL IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT Gregg Marshall has coached in 14 NCAA Tourna-

ments. He’s 11-14 with two Sweet 16’s (2013, 15) and a Final Four (2013).

Marshall has reached the postseason in 17 of his 20 years as a head coach with a 17-16 mark.

Since 2011, Marshall is 10-5 in postseason games against teams from “power conferences” defeating Ala-bama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt, Va. Tech and Washington State.

NUMBER SEVEN WITH SEVEN PLUS SEVEN In 2018 Gregg Marshall became just the seventh

coach in NCAA history to lead two different schools to seven-or-more bids. His Winthrop teams danced seven times in nine years. After missing out in each of his first four seasons at Wichita State, Marshall has guided the Shockers to seven-straight tournaments.

SHOCKER HISTORY LESSON Five Shockers have their jersey numbers hanging in

the rafters: #13 Cleo Littleton (1951-55), #42 Dave Stallworth (1961-65), #45 Cliff Levingston (1979-82), #35 Antoine Carr (1979-83) and #44 Xavier Mc-Daniel (1981-85).

Teammates on WSU’s first NCAA Tournament team in 1964, Stallworth and Nate Bowman teamed up again to help the 1970 New York Knicks to an NBA title.

McDaniel, Levingston and Carr all played more than a decade in the NBA. Levingston was a member of the Chicago Bulls’ first two NBA Championship teams while playing alongside Michael Jordan. Carr helped the Utah Jazz to a pair of runner-up finishes in 1997 and 1998.

A member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Ralph Miller won 220 games in 13 years on the Shocker bench (1951-64) and led the Shockers to their first NCAA Tournament in 1964. He’s the second-winningest coach in program history behind Marshall (who surpassed his total in February, 2016). When Miller retired from Oregon State in 1989, at the close of a 38-year career, he was the eighth-winningest coach in NCAA history (674-370). In 1997, Miller was honored with the NABC Golden Anniversary Award, given to NABC members who have deboted at least 50 years of outstanding service to the game of basketball.

AMBIDEXTEROUS Freshman guard Dexter Dennis learned basketball as a lefthander but after a wrist injury and two sub-sequent surgeries, now plays predominantly with his right. Dennis broke his left arm and dislocated his wrist as an eighth-grader while attempting to dunk. He needed a second operation as a junior to insert a screw and correct growth of the bone. While recovering from the latter, he began shooting with the right hand and soon found it more to his liking.

PLAYING ANGRY Head coach Gregg Marshall has developed a unique appreciation for WSU basketball history, even as he continues to write new chapters. Since his arrival, the 12th-year Shocker coach has made it a point to reach out to WSU basketball alums, such as NBA stars Xavier McDaniel, Antoine Carr and Cliff Levingston, who helped form the backbone of some of WSU’s greatest teams in the early 1980s. While addressing the team midway through the 2012-13 season, Carr challenged Marshall’s Shockers to “Play Angry.” That message sank in, and the slogan gained national attention during the team’s run to the Final Four later in the year.

THE JUNK YARD DOG Gregg Marshall has a unique tradition that dates back nearly a dozen years to his final season at Winthrop. Af-ter the team finishes its film study of the previous game, Marshall singles out one player who displayed the most energy and tenacity out on the court and presents him with the Junkyard Dog Award. Fittingly, the traveling trophy is an old action figure of former pro wrestler, Sylvester Ritter, better known in the ring during the 80s and 90s as "Junkyard Dog."

TO OLD FRIENDS AND NEW BEGINNINGS Wichita State’s move to the American reunited the

Shockers with four of their former rivals from the Mis-

I loved his ability to be the consummate floor general at point guard. He's very

cerebral and tough. Noah makes winning plays and is a great communicator. People are drawn to his leadership skills. He can score, as well as run the team, and he guards the basketball with tenacity.

Marshall on Gordon: "I'm very pleased to have DeAn-toni joining our program. He committed as a junior, which is probably the earliest commit that I can recall, and he honored that commitment all the way through. His high school coach, Jeffrey Pope, and AAU coach, Kirven Lang, both have been a great influence on DeAntoni, and I've enjoyed watching him as a player. He is a super hard-worker, and his body and game are both rapidly develop-ing. I think he will quickly become a crowd-favorite with his athleticism, length and ability to move around the court."

SHOCKER PICKED EIGHTH BY AAC COACHES Eighth-place represents WSU's lowest predicted fin-

ish since the 2008-09 preseason –Marshall's second year in Wichita -- when the Missouri Valley Conference coaches picked the rebuilding Shockers ninth out of 10 teams. After an 0-6 start to league play, they rallied for a fifth-place tie in the final standings and earned a CBI bid – the first of 10-straight postseason appearances.

Notably, Marshall teams have finished first or second in the conference race in nine-straight seasons and in 17 of his 20 seasons overall. Or – to put it another way – Marshall has nearly four times as many conference reg-ular season titles (11) as sub-second place finishes (3).

OVERVIEW

WSU's lone returner in the front court... Poised for a breakout year following a pro-ductive off-season... A potential game-changer on both ends of the floor... Physically imposing and is rapidly developing a skillset to match… First name "Asbjørn" is Danish for "God's Bear."… Took up competitive basketball at age 14 and is still relatively new to the game but has made quick progress with his skill development.

2018-19 (Sophomore): Threw down his first collegiate dunk against Alabama (Nov. 18) at the Charleston Classic taking a fast-break feed from Ricky Torres in stride for a slam... Missed the Providence game (Nov. 9) with a concussion, sustained in the closing minutes of the LA Tech game... Made his first career start in the season-opener against Louisiana Tech (Nov. 6) and finished with two points, three rebounds and a block.

2017-18 (Freshman): Saw limited time behind a veteran core of four senior big men but learned from them every day in practice... Appeared in nine games as a reserve center and totaled 11 points, 17 rebounds and a pair of blocks in 49 minutes... Injured his ankle in practice in late January and missed close to two weeks... Appeared in just one game after Jan. 11, scoring three points in five minutes in the Feb. 10 win over UConn... Set season-highs for points (4) and minutes (10) in his collegiate debut against UMKC (Nov. 10) and also logged a steal and an assist... Had a personal-best five rebounds in nine minutes during the Nov. 28 home win over Savannah State. High School: Attended Espergarde Gymansium in Espergarde, Denmark… Spent the past three seasons competing against older professionals in the Danish League for the Horsholm 79’ers… Averaged 8.6 points, 6.3 rebounds in 19.0 minutes in 2016-17… Was the league’s 2017 “Young Player of the Year” (essentially a rookie of the year honor) and was also named to the All-Danish Team as one of the top-five Danish-born players in the eight team league… Coached by Rafa Monclova… Totals were vastly improved from 2015-16 when he averaged 4.2 points and 3.6 rebounds in 32 games… Put up 5.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 2014-15… Toured the U.S. with Global Squad: Denmark in the summer of 2016 and was the team’s leading scorer (10.5) and rebounder (8.9) while shooting over 60 percent from the field… Signed with WSU in the Fall of 2016. Personal: Full name is Asbjørn Engelhardt Midtgaard… Pronounced Azz-bYORN MIT-Guard… Born Sept. 20, 1997 in Denmark… Son of Christian and Anne-Marie… Has two sisters… Took up competitive basketball at age 14 and is still relatively new to the game, but has made rapid progress with skill development… Favorite athlete is Memphis Grizzlies seven-footer, Marc Gasol… Chose the Shockers over TCU.

Gregg Marshall: "Asbjørn possesses two important qualities that you look for in a post player: hustle and muscle. Obviously the first thing about Asbjørn that jumps out at you is his size. He's 7-feet and a chiseled 270, even though he's only been lifting weights for a short time. But what also sticks with you is his charisma. He's always upbeat. He has a real passion for the game of basketball. He's developed a nice skillset around the basket and is getting better by the day."

GAME 1 | LOUISIANA TECH

Nov. 6, 2018 | Wichita, Kan. | Charles Koch ArenaLouisiana Tech ..................................... 39 32 - 71Wichita St. ........................................... 29 29 - 58

Nine of the 12 players who saw action were mak-ing their Shocker debut. Seven of them were freshmen.WSU had at least three freshmen on the floor for over half the game (21:39) and went with four for 11 of the 40 minutes.

WSU’s streak of 22-straight home sellouts (21 at CKA) ended. Just under 300 seats went unsold.

The Shockers dropped to 0-1 for the first time since 2001. They had won their last 16 openers. A streak of 22-straight wins in home openers also came to an end.

In his Shocker debut, freshman Erik Stevenson led scored 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting, including a 4-of-6 performance from three-point range. Fellow freshman Dexter Dennis added 10 points, while Jaime Ech-enique pulled down a team-best seven rebounds.

Jamarius Burton was the first Shocker true fresh-man in 10 years to start an opener.

Poor free throw shooting doomed the Shockers. They were 11-of-26 for the game (42 percent).

WSU was beaten on the boards (37-26) at CKA for just the 17th time in Marshall’s 12 seasons.

WSU led 15-11 near the midway point for the first half but endured a five-minute scoring drought. LA Tech used a 12-0 run to take control. Down 39-29 at halftime, the WSU pulled to within 47-43 with 12:33 to go but could get no closer.

Markis McDuffie’s 32 points were a new career-high and a Veterans Classic scoring record. McDuffie hit six threes (another personal-best) on nine attempts. Five of them came in the second half.

Samajae Haynes-Jones (15 points and a career-high eight assists) hit back-to-back-to-back threes over a two-minute stretch early in the first half, giving the Shockers life after they had fallen behind 15-5.

WSU shot 12-of-22 overall from three (.545). Alpha Diallo (27 points, 10 rebounds) and A.J.

Reeves (19 points) paced Providence, which had earned votes in both major preseason polls.

McDuffie scored five points during a 10-0 first-half run. His three tied the game at 27. A Udeze putback gave WSU the lead. Erik Stevenson (6 points, 5 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals) beat the halftime buzzer with a three to give the Shockers a 44-39 lead.

McDuffie hit four-straight threes in the first 10 min-utes of the second half to help the Shockers remain in front. A four-point play made it 55-49 with 14:32 re-maining. His fifth of the half (and sixth of the night) upped the margin to 72-61 with 6:43 on the clock.

WSU leads the all-time series with Providence 3-0.

GAME 7 | BAYLOR

Dec. 1, 2018 | Wichita, Kan. | Charles Koch ArenaBaylor.................................................. 15 48 - 63Wichita St. ........................................ 44 27 - 71

Wichita State played the perfect first half, then sur-vived an imperfect second to defeat Baylor.

The Shockers used first-half runs of 12-0, 18-1 and 11-0 to build an eye-opening 43-9 lead.

Visiting Baylor countered with runs of 11-2, 9-0 and 16-1 after halftime to claw within 60-55 at the 3:47-mark before the Shockers managed to regroup.

WSU's Erik Stevenson scored off a baseline inbound, and Samajae Haynes-Jones converted a three-point play in transition to restore order and preserve and statement win for the young Shockers.

Haynes-Jones led all scorers with 21 points and set career-highs with six three-pointers and 10 rebounds. It was the senior's first career double-double. Stevenson added 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting for WSU (4-3), which won back-to-back games and moved over the .500-mark for the first time this year.

The win gives WSU a sweep of its two-year home-and-home series with Baylor.

WSU out-boarded Baylor, 44-37, in a battle of two of the decade’s best rebounding teams. Neither offense shot better than 40% from the field.

Jaime Echenique grabbed nine rebounds and be-came the first Shocker to block shots in each of the first seven games of a season since Cliff Levingston (1980).

After 111 turnover-free minutes to begin his Shocker career, point guard Ricky Torres finally committed his first, midway through the second half.

GAME 8 | at OKLAHOMA

Dec. 8, 2018 | Oklahoma City, Okla./ Chesapeake Energy ArenaWichita St. ........................................... 27 21 - 48Oklahoma [rv/-] .................................... 35 45 - 80

Markis McDuffie (19 points, seven rebounds, three steals)scored his 1,000th career point, but Wichita State otherwise struggled offensively.

McDuffie -- playing his 100th game -- became the 1,000-point club's 47th member. Points 999-1000-1001 came on a three midway through the first half.

Freshman guard Erik Stevenson tallied eight points, five rebounds and a pair of steals off the bench.

WSU shot 24.2% -- its worst since a 14-of-66 (.212) effort at Tulsa on Dec. 6, 1997.

OU's +19 rebounding edge (52-33) was the largest for a Shocker foe in exactly 20 years -- On Dec. 8, 1998, K-State went +20 (41-21) at Bramlage Coliseum.

WSU’s 48-point performance came on the 10th an-niversary of its last sub-50-point game – a 57-48 loss to TCU on Dec. 8, 2008.

The Shockers trailed by eight at halftime, 35-27, de-spite shooting just 28 percent... McDuffie had 13 of his 19 points in the first 20 minutes... Jaime Echenique’s three-pointer sliced the margin to five, 35-30, but OU outscored WSU 29-6 over the next 11 minutes.

WSU's shooting slump deepened in the second half when it hit just 4-of-16 shots (1-of-11 from three).

It was WSU’s first 30+ point loss under Marshall and the school’s first since Feb. 1, 2003 -- a 94-59 setback against Southern Illinois at the Kansas Coliseum.

Down 60-59 with 5:47 to play, WSU held JSU scoreless for a five-minute stretch to key an 8-0 run.

Dexter Dennis grabbed an offensive rebound and kicked out to Samajae Haynes-Jones (game-high 17 points) for a crucial three-pointer for a 64-60 lead with 1:40 to play.

Markis McDuffie finished with 11 points and nine rebounds.

The game pitted one of college basketball's least-ex-perienced teams (WSU) against its polar opposite. Six of the nine JSU players that saw action were seniors. Two more were juniors. Six of the 10 Shockers were fresh-men.

WSU’s size made all the difference. The Shockers were +11 on the boards, outscored JSU 42-18 in the paint and secured 14 offensive rebounds.

Jaime Echenique (12 points, seven rebounds) scored 10 of the first 12 Shocker points to begin the game – the last at the 13:42-mark of the first half -- before succumbing to foul trouble.

Morris Udeze picked up the slack with eight points and eight rebounds off the bench. The pair were a com-bined 10-of-13 from the field.
