WICHITA STATE BASKETBALL

TUNING INSTARTING FIVE

No. 19/19 Wichita State (30-4) returns to the NCAA Men's Bas-ketball Championships for a sixth-consecutive year as the No. 10 seed in the South Region.

The Shockers take on No. 7 seed Dayton in First Round action in Indianapolis, Ind. The 6:10 p.m. CT (7:10 p.m. ET) tipoff from Bankers Life Fieldhouse will air nationally on CBS, with streaming available at NCAA.com/March-Madness-Live.

TOURNEY TIDBITS Wichita State is making its sixth-consecutive NCAA trip and 14th overall... Head coach Gregg Marshall is dancing for the 13th time (6 at WSU, 7 at Winthrop) and is one of just nine coaches in history to lead two different schools to 6+ NCAA bids... Wichita State is one of just five schools that has won a game in each of the last four NCAA Tournaments, going 9-4.

THE SHOCKS, IN SHORT Despite graduating two NBA guards in Ron Baker (Knicks) and

Fred VanVleet (Raptors), Wichita State's "rebuilding year" has far exceeded expectations. The Shockers...... Reached 30-wins for the fourth time in five seasons.... Claimed their fourth-consecutive MVC regular season title.... Won the MVC Tournament for only the second time since 1987.... Clinched their sixth-straight NCAA Tournament bid.

ON A ROLL WSU's current 15-game winning streak is the second-longest in

school history, trailing only the 2013-14 team, which opened 35-0 before falling to Kentucky in the NCAA Round of 32.

14 of the 15 wins in the streak have come by 15+ points. The Shockers' last defeat came over two months ago -- Jan. 14 at

Illinois State. They've won 21-of-22 going back to mid-December.

NEW TRICK Gregg Marshall teams traditionally defend, rebound, protect the

basketball and play with great intensity, but the 2017 version can score it, too. This is, by far, Marshall's best offensive team, averag-ing 10 points per game more than last year's group (82.1).

Last year's Achille's Heel has become a strength. The Shockers rank fourth nationally in 3-point percentage (.408, up from .324 a year ago). They've topped 80-points a school-record 23 times.

WSU also ranks in the top-10 nationally in scoring margin (2nd, 19.6), field goal percentage defense (5th, .378), rebound margin (5th, 8.9) and assist-to-turnover ratio (10th, 1.49).

ATTA BOYS Four Shockers earned all-conference honors:

Redshirt freshman, point guard Landry Shamet and sophomore forward Markis McDuffie landed on the First Team. Shaquille Morris and Conner Frankamp were Third Team choices.

Shamet -- the MVC Freshman of the Year -- joined junior forward Darral Willis Jr. on the All-Newcomer Team, and Zach Brown was named to the All-Defensive squad.

TOURNEY NOTES

FOLLOW THE BOUNCING BALL Missouri Valley Conference champion Wichita State

(30-4, 17-1) meets Atlantic-10 champ Dayton (24-7, 15-3), Friday evening in First Round South Regional ac-tion at 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.

Tipoff from Indianapolis, Ind. is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. CT (7:10 p.m. ET) on CBS, with the crew of Jim Nanz, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson. Fans can watch live streaming through March Madness Live at NCAA.com.

On radio, Mike Kennedy – now in 37th year as Voice of the Shockers – calls his 1,210th consecutive game on KEYN 103.7 FM in Wichita. He’s joined by analysts Dave Dahl and Bob Hull.

Chris Carrino & Jim Jackson describe the action at all six First and Second Round games from Indianapo-lis for Westwood One Radio on Sirius channel 134, XM channel 201, with online stream available at March Madness Live or westwoodonesports.com/Indianapolis.

WICHITA STATE TOURNEY TIDBITS Wichita State’s 14th NCAA Tournament appearance

ties Creighton’s Missouri Valley Conference record. WSU's six-consecutive bids are also tied for the most

in MVC history with Southern Illinois (2002-07) and Cin-cinnati (1958-63).

Prior to 2012, the Shockers had only managed back-to-back appearances on two other occasions (1964/65 and 1987/88).

The Shockers are 17-14 all-time in NCAA Tournament play play, with six Regional Semifinals (1964, 65, 81, 06, 13, 15), four Regional Finals (1964, 65, 81, 13) and two Final Fours (1965, 2013).

This is the 27th overall postseason appearance for Wichita State (14 NCAAs, 12 NIT’s, 1 CBI), which won the 2011 NIT to kick off its current run of postseason success.

Wichita State is prepping for its 32nd NCAA Tourna-ment game. Notably, 15 of those contests have come within the past six years.

FIRST ROUND FOCUS WSU has come away with at least one win in 8 of its

13 NCAA appearances. The Shockers are 6-4 in the Round of 64 with four

consecutive wins. Wichita State has never been a No. 10 seed, though

the Shockers have had some success from the 7-10 track. As a No. 7, they're 2-0 against No. 2 seed, bounc-ing Tennessee (2006) and Kansas (2015).

WSU-DAYTON SERIES This is just the third meeting between Wichita State

and Dayton and the first in over half-a-century. In March of 1962, Wichita University fell 79-71 to

Dayton in the first round of the 1962 NIT in New York. The Flyers went on to post three more victories and win the NIT title.

The 1961-62 Shockers were coached by Hall of Famer Ralph Miller and featured one of the program’s all-time greats, Dave Stallworth (then a sophomore). Two years later (1964), Stallworth led the Shockers to their first-ever NCAA Tournament bid.

The series’ only other encounter came Dec. 17, 1941 in Dayton when the Shockers absorbed a 42-19 loss during a December tour through Missouri, Kentucky and Ohio.

DANCE DANCE REVELATION WSU has nine NCAA Tournament victories in the last four

years, tied for the fourth-most in college hoops.

WSU-DAYTON MATCHUP MASHUP A year ago, the NCAA Selection Committee sent

the Shockers to Dayton. This year, Dayton comes to the Shockers – or something like that. WSU defeated Vanderbilt, 70-50 in last year’s First Four at University of Dayton Arena.

Both WSU and Dayton participated in last year’s AdvoCare Invitational in Orlando but didn’t meet. The Flyers were runner-up. The Shockers – playing without Fred VanVleet – ended up on the consolation side.

Dayton sophomore Josh Cunningham spent his freshman season (2014-15) at Bradley, which competes alongside WSU in the Missouri Valley Conference. He earned MVC All-Freshman status after averaging 7.9 points and was the league’s second-leading rebounder.

Dayton coach Archie Miller is the younger brother of Arizona coach Sean Miller. The Shockers eliminated the elder Miller and Arizona in last year’s Round of 64.

WSU assistant Isaac Brown and Dayton assistant Tom Ostrom worked together for five years on John Pelphrey’s staffs at South Alabama and Arkansas.

Wichita and Dayton share a number of similarities, in-cluding a rich aviation history. Dayton is the birthplace of Orville Wright, the younger half of the famous Wright Brothers – inventors of powered flight. During the 20th Century, Wichita spawned a number of aircraft manufacturing companies, including Beechcraft and Cessna, earning it the nickname ‘Air Capital of the World.’

Shocker and Flyer fans are both among the most pas-sionate in college basketball. WSU played in front of capacity crowds at 14 of its 17 home games in 2016-17, following a three-year sellout streak. Dayton averaged just over 13,000 fans at UD Arena.

The teams share a common opponent this year in St. Louis. WSU held the Billikens to just nine first half points en route to a 30-point win at Charles Koch Arena. Day-ton swept a home-and-home from SLU, winning by 22 in St. Louis and by 21 at home.

BANKERS LIFE FIELDHOUSE Completed in November, 1999, Bankers Life Field-

house (formerly Conseco Fieldhouse) seats just under 18,000 for basketball and serves as home of the NBA's Indiana Pacers and the WNBA's Indiana Fever.

Bankers Life Fieldhouse has played host to the NBA Finals (2000), WNBA Finals (2009, 12, 15), the NCAA Women's Final Four (2011, 16) and several other top flight neutral court college games. It's also annual host of the IHSAA boys and girls state finals.

This is the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament's 11th time in Indianapolis but its first at BLF. Previous sites in Indianapolis included Market Square Arena, the RCA Dome and Lucas Oil Stadium.

SHOCKERS IN THE HOOSIER STATE Shockers teams are 35-31 all-time in Indiana. WSU has never played at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, but

did make a December, 1989 appearance at its predeces-sor, Market Square Arena. The Shockers split two games at the Hoosier Classic, falling 75-54 to No. 10 Indiana before claiming a 75-59 victory over Loyola Chicago).

Under Eddie Fogler, WSU lost twice at Purdue in De-cember, 1986 and December, 1988.

WSU makes annual trips to Indiana to face confer-ence foes Evansville and Indiana State. The Shockers are 22-18 all-time in Terre Haute and 12-10 in Evansville. They’ve won nine-straight in the Hoosier state (last los-ing in 2013 at UE) and 13-of-14.

GREGG MARSHALL IN THE TOURNAMENT This is coach Gregg Marshall's 13th NCAA Tourna-

ment. He’s 10-12 with two Sweet 16’s (2013, 2015) and a Final Four (2013).

Thursday marks the tenth anniversary of Marshall’s first NCAA Tournament win. On March 16, 2007 in Spo-kane, Wash., Marshall’s 11th-seeded Winthrop Eagles upset sixth-seeded Notre Dame, 74-64, in the First Round. Prior to that win, Marshall take taken Winthrop to six previous tournaments as a No. 14 seed or lower and gone 0-6.

Marshall is 16-14 overall in postseason play. This is his 16th postseason bid in 19 seasons as a head coach. In addition to is 13 NCAA trips, he took WSU to a CBI in his second year (2009) and followed with back-to-back NITs (2010 and 2011).

Since 2011, Marshall is 10-4 in postseason games against team from the "power conferences," defeating Alabama, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Washington State. The only losses came to Kentucky, Louisville, Miami and Notre Dame.

Marshall's NCAA Tournaments at WSU, 6th Trip, 9-5 The Shockers have held a second-half lead in all 14

of Marshall's NCAA Tournament games at Wichita State. He's won at least one game in four-straight trips and

come away with multiple wins in three of the last four. Marshall is one of only two coaches in school his-

tory with multiple NCAA trips, joining Gene Smithson (1981, 85) and Eddie Fogler (1987, 88).Year Seed Round Opponent Result2012 #5 First Round [12] VCU L 59-622013 #9 First Round [8] Pittsburgh W 73-55

Marshall's NCAA Tournaments at Winthrop, 7 Trips, 1-7 As a rookie head coach in 1999, Marshall guided

Winthrop to the first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history...

In 2001, Marshall's team traveled to Dayton for the first-ever play-in game between No. 16 seeds. When he returned in 2016 with WSU to participate in the First Four, Marshall joked that the exiciting Winthrop-North-western State matchup had been inspiration behind the play-in rounds continued expansion.

In 2006, Marshall's Eagles had No. 2 seed Tennessee on the ropes but couldn't pull off the upset. With Wich-ita State poised to play the winner of that game in the Round of 32, WSU administrators watched closely and were impressed with Marshall's work. A year later, they hired him to fill their head coaching vacancy...

In 2007, Marshall's final team went undefeated in Big South play and earned the highest seed in conference history. In its opener, No. 11 Winthrop blew a 20-point second half lead against No. 6 seed Notre Dame, then recovered. Down 63-62 with 2:21 to play, they finished the game on an 12-0 run to earn the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament win.Year Seed Round Opponent Result1999 #16 First Round [1] Auburn L 41-802000 #14 First Round [3] Oklahoma L 50-742001 #16 Play-In [16] Northwestern St. L 67-712002 #16 First Round [1] Duke L 37-842005 #14 First Round [3] Gonzaga L 64-742006 #15 First Round [2] Tennessee L 61-632007 #11 First Round [6] Notre Dame W 74-64

TOURNEY NOTES

NOT FAR FROM THE MARSHALL TREE East Tennessee State head coach, Steve Forbes is the

first member of the growing Gregg Marshall coaching tree to guide his own team to an NCAA Tournament.

Forbes spent two seasons as an assistant at WSU, helping guide the 2013-14 team to a 35-1 finish and the 2014-15 group to a 30-5 record and an NCAA Sweet 16.

Forbes is 51-19 in two seasons at ETSU.

2018 TOURNAMENT COMES TO WICHITA Wichita State will serve as co-host for First and Sec-

ond Round action in next year's NCAA Men's Basketball Championship at downtown INTRUST Bank Arena.

It's the men's tournament's first stop in Wichita since 1994. Headliners that year at the old Kansas Coliseum included Michigan's Fab Five (minus Chris Webber) and John Calipari-led UMass. The second-seeded Minute-men fell to No. 10 seed Maryland in the second round.

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.

PLAY ANGRY Head coach Gregg Marshall has developed a unique ap-preciation for WSU basketball history, even as he contin-ues to write new chapters. Since his arrival, the eighth year Shocker coach has made it a point to reach out to WSU basketball alums, such as NBA stars Xavier Mc-Daniel, 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.

FILLING BIG SHOES Ron Baker (Knicks) and Fred VanVleet (Raptors) fin-

ished as the program’s career leaders in NCAA Tourna-ment games (26 combined), minutes (812) and points (320). Most importantly, they teamed up for 9 wins.

But WSU isn't short on postseason experience. Eight returning Shockers have logged NCAA Tournament min-utes. Juniors Zach Brown, Rashard Kelly and Sha-quille Morris have appeared in a six games each. Con-ner Frankamp has five games under his belt (three at WSU and two as a freshman at Kansas in 2014).

REST vs. RUST The Shockers ended the regular season with a grind of six games in 17 days, then played three times in less than 48 hours at the MVC Tournament. However, by the time the ball is tipped Friday, 12 days will have passedsince March 5, when they hoisted the Arch Mad-ness trophy.

Under Gregg Marshall, "rebuilding years" at WSU have been among the program's most successful.

2012 – Previous Year: 29-8 (14-4 MVC, 2nd), NIT ChampionLost: 4 seniors, 3 startersResult: 27-6 (16-2 MVC, 1st), NCAA No. 5 SeedWSU graduated virtually its entire front court with reserve 7-footer Garrett Stutz as the lone holdover. Stutz, however, blossomed into a First Team All-Valley presence as a senior to lead the Shockers to their first MVC title under Marshall and a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament (WSU's first bid of the Marshall Era and the program's highest seed to that point). Stutz wasn't the only question-mark-turned-exclamation-point. The light bulb also turned on for second-year JUCO point guard Joe Ragland, who earned his own first team plaudits. A third senior guard, Toure' Murry, went on to play parts of two seasons in the NBA (Knicks, Jazz, Wizards).

2013 – Previous: 27-6 (16-2 MVC, 1st), NCAA First RoundLost: 5 seniors, 4 startersResult: 30-9 (12-6 MVC, 2nd), NCAA Final FourExperts were quick to write off the 2012-13 team, which had graduated five seniors and would surely need time to rebuild. As a result, the defending con-ference champions were picked fourth in the MVC’s preseason poll. Newcomers Cleanthony Early (a JUCO forward drafted a year later by the Knicks), Mal-colm Armstead (a senior point guard transfer from Oregon) and freshmen Ron Baker and Fred VanV-leet sped up that timeline. Injuries to Baker and two other starters kept the team from reaching its full potential during the regular season. Baker missed 20 games to a stress fracture but returned in time for the MVC Tournament and helped spark a dream run to the Final Four.

2015 –Previous: 35-1 (18-0 MVC, 1st), NCAA Second RoundLost: NBA forward Cleanthony Early (16.4 pts)Result: 30-5 (17-1 MVC), NCAA Sweet 16Perfection is hard to follow. Though another unde-feated regular season wasn't in the cards, WSU's 2015 actually outperformed its predecessor in the postseason by defeating Indiana and No. 2 seed Kan-sas to reach the Sweet 16. Many wondered how the Shockers would cope with the loss of Early (a second round selection by the NBA's New York Knicks) plus two-thirds of its three-headed monster at center. The talented guard trip of Tekele Cotton, Baker and VanVleet carried the load while a young front court matured. Senior Darius Carter, the lone veteran in that group, helped tutor freshmen Shaquille Mor-ris, Rauno Nurger and Rashard Kelly. A fourth frosh, small forward Zach Brown, emerged late in the year as a rotation player.

2017 - Previous: 26-9 (16-2 MVC, 1st), NCAA Second RoundLost: 5 seniors, 3 starters (2 NBA guards)Result: 30-4 (17-1 MVC, t-1st), NCAA Tournament

Five NCAA Tournament games involving the Shockers have come down to a last-second shot attempt.

1981 -- Round of 32 | Wichita, Kan.[6] Wichita State 60, [3] Iowa 56

Knotted at 56, 13th-ranked Iowa called a timeout with 17 seconds left in overtime to set up a play for forward Kevin Boyle. He missed, and WSU's An-toine Carr was fouled as he grabbed the rebound with less than five seconds to go. Iowa coach Lute Olson asked for a timeout (with none left) drawing a technical foul. Carr missed the front end of a one-and-one, but WSU's Randy Smithson hit both technical shots to put the Shockers up 58-56. WSU received the ball out of bounds, drew a foul and hit two more free throws to pad the margin... Wichita State had trailed by 15 points early in the second half but drew energy from a vocal Levitt Arena crowd. The Shockers held the Hawkeyes scoreless for nearly nine minutes and tied the game with a 15-0 run.

1981 -- Sweet 16 | New Orleans, La.[6] Wichita State 66, [7] Kansas 65

March 20, 1981, in a regional semifinal at the Loui-siana Superdome, in the first meeting between WSU and Kansas in a quarter-century, reserve guard Mike Jones became a legend. Jones' 24-footer with 46 seconds left trimmed the Jayhawk lead to 65-64. Af-ter KU's Darnell Valentine missed on the opposite end, Jones -- who averaged all of 4.5 points -- again had the ball in his hands. With bookend forwards Antoine Carr and Cliff Levingston heavily guarded and point guard Randy Smithson similarly shad-owed, Jones cut loose a 25-footer that swished the net with two seconds showing.

1987 -- First Round | Rosemont, Ill.[6] St. John's 57, [11] Wichita State 55

WSU took St. John's to the wire by focusing its de-fensive energy on All-American Mark Jackson, but the strategy backfired in the final seconds. Jackson -- who would go on to play 17 seasons in the NBA -- found an open Marco Baldi at the top of the key. The 6-11 center drove to the basket, pulled up and drained an 8-foot jumper with one second remaining. The game, by the way, took place on Friday, March 13.

2012 -- First Round | Portland, Ore.[12] VCU 62, [5] Wichita State 55

A year removed from a Final Four, 12th-seeded VCU had another upset up its sleeve. The Shockers trailed by as many as 13 in the second half but stormed back to take a two-point lead on Toure' Murry's three-pointer with 2:03 to go. VCU scored the next five. Down 62-59 with 18 seconds left, WSU had a chance to force overtime on its final possession. But 7-footer Garrett Stutz missed a three-pointer at the horn.

2014 -- Second Round | St. Louis, Mo.[8] Kentucky 78, [1] Wichita State 76

SI would later name it 2014's "Game of the Year" across all sports. The 35-0 Shockers fell to eventual National Runner-Up, Kentucky when Fred VanVleet's game-winning three-point try caromed off the rim.

All-Bench Team

ZACH BROWN LOCKS IT DOWN In the last four seasons, WSU has placed seven players

on the MVC's All-Defensive team. Six-foot-6 junior Zach Brown is the latest.

Brown is the heir apparent to former MVC Defensive Player of the Year, Tekele Cotton, playing the role of defensive stopper against the opponents' top scoring threats. Though there is one key difference: the 6-foot-6 Brown is three inches taller than Cotton.

Brown's length and athleticism are an asset that few team's can match. When mixed and matched with the 6-foot-8 Markis McDuffie, the two become a perim-eter player's worst nightmare.

A two-year starter, Brown has been a key figure on a WSU defense that again ranks among the nation's best.

TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS Pearl River (Miss.) CC transfer Darral Willis Jr. joined

Landry Shamet on the MVC's All-Newcomer Team. Willis has helped WSU take its scoring to another level

this year. He ranks third on the team in points (10.2) and second in rebounds (5.1). He's scored in double-figures 18 times with three double-doubles.

When the spotlight burns bright, Willis has played some of his best basketball. In non-conference games against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Michigan State he averaged 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds.

BENCH IMPRESSIVE The Shockers led the league and ranked in the top-3

nationally in reserve scoring (35.6 pts). WSU has scored 50-or-more bench points five times

this year and topped 60 twice. Not surprisingly, the unit was well-represented on

the All-Bench squad with junior Rauno Nurger and Rashard Kelly both earning honors.

Note: Post-Tournament numbers used, when available

WINNING WALK-ONS WSU's senior duo of Zach Bush and John Robert

Simon are the NCAA's winningest walk-ons. When ap-pearing in the box score, Bush (63-1, .984) and Simon (80-5, .941) have the highest career winning percent-ages in Division I (among players with at least 50 GP).

Bush -- a walk on guard from Wichita -- was a red shirt on the Shockers' 2013 Final Four team and be-gan logging mop-up minutes alongside Simon during WSU's undefeated run in 2013-14. Prior to a late game stint in the Shockers' loss to Oklahoma State on Dec. 17, Bush had been perfect 50-0. His .984 percentage is the highest since Chance McGrady, a Memphis walk-on from 2005-09, finished his career at perfect 51-0.

When a scholarship opened up early in the school year, Marshall rewarded Simon with a full ride for the re-mainder of the season. On Senior Night, Simon stepped into the limelight, hitting three-straight threes in the final minutes of WSU's 109-83 win over Evansville.

THE SHOCKS, IN SHORT Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet have moved on to

the NBA's Knicks and Raptors, but Wichita State's run off success continues with a new set of faces.

The Shockers (30-4, 17-1 MVC) clinched a share of their fourth consecutive MVC regular season title and won just their second MVC Tournament title in three decades.

Winners of 15-straight and 21 of its last 22, WSU checked in at No. 19 in Monday's AP and Coaches Polls.

WSU ranks in the top-10 nationally in scoring margin (2nd, +19.6), field goal percentage defense (5th .378), rebound margin (5th, +8.9), assist-to-turnover ratio (10th, 1.49) and winning percentage (T-3rd, .882). The Shockers also rank high in scoring defense (14th, 62.4), assists (18th, 16.6), three-point percentage (4th, .408), scoring offense (20th, 82.1) , and TO margin (28th, +2.8).

The Shockers ranked either first or second among the MVC's 10 teams in 19 of the 21 major statistical catego-ries (they were a lowly fifth in blocked shots and third in free throw percentage.)

ALL-VALLEY FOURSOME WSU placed two on the All-MVC First Team and two

more on the newly established Third Team: Sophomore small forward Markis McDuffie (1st

Team) led the team in points (11.7), rebounds (5.7) and steals (35). He scored in double-figures 21 times.

Freshman point guard Landry Shamet (1st Team) averaged 11.1 points during the regular season and en-tered the tournament ranked 9th nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.20). In MVC play, he hit a league-best 43 three-pointers on 51.8% shooting, becoming just the second player in Valley history to lead the confer-ence in both categories.

Junior guard Conner Frankamp (3rd Team) has played some of his best basketball since a move to shooting guard in late January, scoring in double-fig-ures in 10 of his last 12. In MVC play, he averaged 10.2 points and ranked second in the league in threes (41) and three-point percentage (.506), behind Shamet.

Junior center Shaquille Morris (3rd Team) has been a catalyst during the Shockers’ 15-game winning streak, averaging 12.3 points and 6.9 rebounds over that stretch. On a per-minute basis, was one of the MVC’s most dominant players, averaging a league-high 26.4 points-per-40 minutes with 14.3 rebounds during con-ference play.

TAKING THE TORCH In four decades under the current all-MVC format,

Markis McDuffie (So.) and Landry Shamet (Fr.) are just the second pair of underclassmen teammates to ap-pear on the first team together. The other – Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet, as sophomores in 2014.

SHAM-WOW! Landry Shamet is just the fourth freshman in MVC

history to be named first team all-conference, joining Creighton's Doug McDermott (2011), Wichita's Cleo Littleton (1952), and Tulsa's Vernon Yates (1942).

Shamet is only the fourth Shocker to earn an All-MVC nod as a freshman. The other three --- Littleton (a 1st-teamer in 1952), Antoine Carr (2nd team, 1980) and Cliff Levingston (2nd team, 1980) --- all have their jersey numbers hanging from the rafters.

SHOCKER NOTES

CONQUERING ARCH MADNESS On March 5, Wichita State won just its second Mis-

souri Valley Conference Tournament title in three de-cades, defeating regular season co-champion Illinois State, 71-51, at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

It was a fitting final between two 17-1 teams. Each suffered its only conference loss on the other’s home floor. Illinois State won by 14 in Normal on Jan. 14. Three weeks later, WSU flipped the score with a 41-point trouncing in Wichita.

Conner Frankamp averaged 15.3 points in the Shockers’ three Arch Madness wins, hitting 11-of-22 from three, to earn Most Outstanding Player honors. He hit six threes against Missouri State in the semifinal and put up a career-high 19 points points in the final.

TRENDING The Shockers' 15-game winning streak is the second-

longest in school history, trailing only the famous 35-0 team from 2013-14.

Wichita State owns the nation's third-longest active winning streak, behind fellow NCAA Tournament quali-fiers Princeton (19) & Vermont (21).

Four Shockers have averaged in double-figures dur-ing the team's 15-game winning streak:• Conner Frankamp (12.6 points) is shooting 55.3% from deep over that stretch (42-of-76) while averaging almost three triples per game.• Landry Shamet (11.8 points) has been almost as deadly, hitting 54.8% from three (34-of-62).• Shaquille Morris (12.3 points) is averaging a team-high 6.8 rebounds during the streak.• Markis McDuffie (11.0 points) has a team-high 21 steals over the last 15 games.

A HIGH FIVE Going back to their Final Four season in 2012-13, the

Shockers' 151 wins and .844 winning percentage are second only to Gonzaga (156 wins, .876).

Wichita State's four 30-win seasons over that five-year stretch is the most of any team in college hoops -- In fact, it's an accomplishment matched just five other times in NCAA history!

most wins in Missouri Valley Conference history. In its 72 seasons as a member, WSU has won 1,201

total games. Drake -- one of the league's charter mem-bers -- owns 1,202 victories.

The Shockers have also won an all-time best 591 con-ference games.

MARGIN IN CHARGE WSU is outscoring its opponents by 19.6 points per

game this year, second only to Gonzaga (+23.4). In the last 15 years, just three other teams have

finished a full season with a +19.0-or-better scoring margin. Kansas (2008) won the national championship, Louisville (2014) lost to Kentucky in the Sweet 16, while Kentucky (2015) opened 38-0 but lost in the Final Four.

WSU's average margin (+19.6) is the highest by a Missouri Valley Conference squad since Oscar Robert-son's Cincinnati team steamrolled opponents by 22.0 points per game during his 1959-60 senior season.

The Shockers are ahead of the 35-1 2014 team's school-record pace (+15.7).

The Shockers have recorded at least 20 double-figure victories in each of the last seven seasons. They have 27 this year and a total of 162 since the start of the 2010-11 campaign.

The Shockers have won 17 times by 20-or-more points this season, breaking the school record set by last year's team (16).

WSU's nine 30-point wins are a school record.

No. 19/19 Wichita State has spent the last three weeks in the top-25. The Shockers made their season debut on Feb. 20 at No. 25 in both polls.

Since earning its first ranking under Gregg Marshall in Feb., 2012, WSU has totaled 63 weeks in polls.

WSU has cracked the top-25 in each of the last six seasons now, tying a program-best (From 1960-61 to 1965-66, the Shockers logged 63 weeks).

SHOCKER NOTES

LEADER OF THE LEADERS OF THE PACK Since the start of the 2013-14 season, Wichita State

has been the nation's most dominant team in confer-ence play. WSU's .944 Missouri Valley Conference win-ning percentage (68-4) ranks just ahead of Stephen F. Austin (65-7, .903 in Southland play).

DEFENSIVE TRADITION CONTINUES The Shockers rank 14th nationally in scoring defense

(62.4). A year ago they led the nation in that category last year (59.0).

Since Jan. 1, just three teams have scored more than 70 points against WSU.

In MVC play, WSU's .388 field goal percentage de-fense was one of the league's six-best marks since 1980 (when the Valley began tracking that statistic)... The 2015-16 Shockers held Valley foes to a record .359 in conference play.

Wichita St. 2011-12 .396 NCAA, 0-1

POINTS WITH A BULLET The Shockers averaged 82.1 points during the

regular season. This is Wichita State’s highest-scoring team since

1983, when future NBA standouts Antoine Carr and Xavier McDaniel headlined an offense that put up 82.3 points per outing.

WSU is the first Missouri Valley Conference school in over two decades to average north of 80 points. Tulsa was the last (83.4 in 1994).

The Shockers topped 80 points in 23 of their 34 regular season games – a new school record.

Wichita State's 2,790 points is one of the five highest single-season totals in Missouri Valley Conference history. If WSU hits its average Friday, it would squeeze past Hersey Hawkins' 1987 Bradley Braves (2,868) for second-place on the list, trailing only Larry Bird and the 1979 Indiana State Sycamores (2,952).

GLASS HALF PULL 6 ............... Number of times WSU has been out-rebounded in 34 games this year.81.5% ...... Percentage of games in which the Shockers have finished even or better on the boards over the last five seasons (145 of 178).+8.9 ......... WSU’s rebound margin. The Shockers are on track to finish in the nation's top-10 in thast category for the fourth time in seven years.10 ............. Consecutive seasons that the Shockers have led the MVC in rebound margin.

SPOILER ALERT! Wichita State is 29-0 when it outshoots its opponents

and 1-4 when outshot.

THE BOMB DIGGITY The Shockers have already set a new single-season

school record for three-point field goals (296). Just four Valley schools have ever reached 300 in a year.

The 1998-99 team owns WSU's per-game record at 7.35. At least for now. The current Shockers (8.7 per game) could play six tournament games without mak-ing a three and still break the record.

WSU finished with 163 threes in 18 MVC games. That total is also a school record and is the fifth-highest in Valley history.

The team's .408 three-point percentage ranks fourth nationally and is the program's best mark since 1989 (.421).

SHOOTING STARS Redshirt Freshman Landry Shamet has hit a three-

pointer in 23 consecutive games, and teammate Con-ner Frankamp has connected in each of the last 20.

Those are the third and fourth-longest streaks in school history.

Ron Baker had a 25-game streak as a sophomore and broke his own record a year later with a 27-gamer.

Elstun's freshman three-point record (59 in 1992-93). Shamet also ranks in the top-10 on the Valley's all-

time freshman chart with a good chance to climb into the top-3.

Shamet is in line to start his 35th game on Friday. He would be the first in program history to make 35 starts as a freshman. Toure' Murry set the previous standard when he started all 34 games for the 2008-09 Shockers.

SHOCKER NOTES

80's THROWBACKS The Shockers set a single-season school record earlier

this month with their 23rd 80-point game of the season. WSU 80-POINT GAMES BY SEASON2007-08 ........ 12008-09 ........ 12009-10 ........ 92010-11 ........ 142011-12 ........ 72012-13 ........ 42013-14 ........ 122014-15 ........ 62015-16 ........ 92016-17 ......23

The 1978-79 Shockers held the pre-vious mark, reaching 80-points a total of 22 times. Gene Smithson's first team took Wichita by storm with their uptempo style. Their 88.8 point scoring average is still the highest ever by a WSU team. Led by senior Cheese Johnson (22.2 points), they topped 100 four times and 90 on 11 occasions.

WSU is 81-1 under Marshall when scoring at least 80, with 58 consecutive

wins. Drake's 93-86 triple overtime win in January, 2012 is the lone exception.

Fred VanVleet moved on to the NBA, but their replace-ments -- freshman Landry Shamet and junior Conner Frankamp -- have actually outperformed their pre-decessors in a few key areas. The duo's 3.60 assist-to-turnover ratio trumps Baker and VanVleet's 2.64 ratio from last season.

FRANKAMP CHASING VANVLEET'S RECORD Conner Frankamp (4.23 assist-to-turnover ratio)

needs another nine assists to qualify for the national lists, but would otherwise rank second nationally in that category. Players need a minimum of 3.0 assists per game to be listed. Frankamp averages 2.7.

Frankamp's 4.23 ratio is on track to break Fred Van-Vleet's Shocker record, set during his All-American sophomore season in 2014.

BEAT THE ODDS COUPLE Former Shockers Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet

have made a habit of exceeding expectations, and that trend continues at the NBA level.

Baker (Knicks) and VanVleet (Raptors) were two of only a dozen undrafted rookie free agents from last year's NCAA ranks to make an Opening Night roster.

Both rookies stuck with their respective teams past the mid-January deadline and earned guaranteed con-tracts for the remainder of the year.

On Jan. 16, Baker made his first career start for the Knicks and scored 12 points on 4-of-7 three-point shooting.

A total of five Shockers have made an NBA debut in the last four seasons (Cleanthony Early, Toure' Murry and Gal Mekel are the others).

ROAD HOGS WSU (10-1 in true road games) has recorded double-

digit road victories in three of the last four years. This is just the third Shocker team in history to finish

with one road loss or fewer, joining the 2011-12 (10-1) and 2013-14 (12-0) teams.

The Shockers have won six-straight on the road. Since the start of the 2010-11 season, WSU is 67-14

(.827) in true road games. That mark leads the nation. Wichita State is 33-3 in MVC road games over the last four seasons. Two of those setbacks have come at Illinois State (2016 & 2017) and the other UNI (2015).

Since 2013-14, the Shockers have more double-figure road wins (25) in conference play than any other school has total road wins. Illinois State (18) is the closest.

Since 2010-11, the Shockers MVC road winning per-centage (51-9, .850) is better than any other Valley's team HOME success rate.

GUMBY NO MORE Markis McDuffie arrived last year as a skilled albeit skinny freshman. Listed at 6-8, 185 pounds, coaches nicknamed him “Gumby” after the flexible, green clay-mation character. But what a difference 12 months makes. McDuffie packed on 27 pounds over the course of his freshman year and entered his second go-around at 6-8, 212.

SHOCKER NOTES

2017 TOURNAMENT SCENE Wichita State has signed on to participate in the 2017

Maui Jim Maui Invitational in Hawaii, alongside Cali-fornia, LSU, Marquette, Michigan, Notre Dame, VCU and host Chaminade, Nov. 20-22, 2017.

The Shockers finished 2-1 at the 2010 Maui Invita-tional, collecting wins over Chaminade and Virginia after a heart-breaking quarterfinal loss to eventual na-tional champion UConn.

WSU competed at the Battle 4 Atlantis last November and took part in the AdvoCare Invitational in 2014.

JUCO JUNCTION Five star high school recruits aren’t always within

reach for WSU, but Marshall has attracted talent through other avenues. The staff has excelled at iden-tifying, integrating and developing talented junior col-lege prospects.

Assistants Greg Heiar and Isaac Brown are former JUCO coaches, as is special assistant Chris Jans and Di-rector of Basketball Operations, Dominic Okon.

WSU has signed 17 JUCO players to scholarships in Marshall’s 10 seasons, including current juniors Darral-Willis and Daishon Smith.

Five of the 15 previous junior college transfers went on to achieve All-Valley status and three others earned specialty honors of some kind, such as all-bench or all-defensive team.

Daishon Smith made his first career start on Nov. 29 against SNU, continuing a line that began with first team all-conference point guards Clevin Hannah (2008-10) and Joe Ragland (2010-12).

Darral Willis Jr. is the ninth former JUCO All-Ameri-can to sign with WSU since 2007.

Wichita State signed two players to National Letters of Intent during the Fall period:

SAMAJAE HAYNES-JONES 6-0 | 170 | G Wichita, Kan./East HS /Hutchinson CC

Pass-first point guard with good scoring ability… A hard-nosed player who takes pride in his defense.

Gregg Marshall: “As a staff, we’re excited to be bringing in a player of his caliber, but we’re also excited for Sama-jae. He’s a Wichita kid who made it his goal to come back home and play for the Shockers. He wants to be great. He’s a gym rat. He’s tough and competitive, and he’s going to have a big year for Coach Steve Eck and the Blue Dragons.”

Junior College: Sophomore guard for a Hutchinson Community College team that qualified for the upcom-ing NJCAA National Tournament with a No. 4 overall seed … Led the team to a 31-2 regular season record and its second-straight Jayhawk Conference Champi-onship... Team has been ranked as high as No. 2 in the national polls... Averaging 16.1 points... Hit 66 three-pointers in 33 regular season games with a 42% success rate... Leads the team in steals (1.6)... As a freshman, helped lead the Blue Dragons to a 32-6 record, a Jay-hawk Conference title and an NJCAA National Runner-Up finish… Averaged 15.4 points, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steal in 37 games... Scored a season-high 33 points in a 116-90 quarterfinal win over defending national champion Northwest Florida State… A second-team all-conference selection during the regular season... Coached by Steve Eck… Recruited by Cincinnati, East Tennessee State, Houston, Illinois St. and Robert Morris, among others.

High School: An all-state performer and 2015 Wichita East graduate… Named one of Kansas’ five best play-ers by the Wichita Eagle after leading the Aces to the Class 6A State Championship… The last three wins in the state title run came on his future home floor, WSU’s Charles Koch Arena… Averaged 15.6 points and was voted Class 6A All-State by the KBCA… Also landed first team all-city and all-metro honors… Team went 45-4 over his final two seasons, including 24-1 in his last go-around…Coached by Joe Jackson…

ASBJORN MIDTGAARD [Az-BERN MEET-Guard]7-0 | 270 | C Helsingor, Denmark/ Espergaerde Gymnasium

A potential game-changer on both ends of the floor… Physically imposing and is rapidly developing a skillset to match…

Gregg Marshall: “Asbjorn possesses two important qualities that you look for in a post player: hustle and muscle. Obviously the first thing about Asbjorn 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 about six months now. But we were equally impressed by his charisma, both as a player and a person, and his passion for the game of basketball. He’s developed a nice skillset around the basket and is getting better by the day.”

Club Basketball: Turned 19 on Sept. 20… Took up competitive basketball at age 14 and is still relatively new to the game but has made quick progress with his skill development… Has spent the past three seasons competing against older professionals in the Danish League for the Horsholm 79’ers… Currently averaging 10 points and 9.2 rebounds through five games. The latter currently ranks third on the league leaderboard.

MATCHUP NOTES: WSU and Northern Kentucky have never met. It would take a couple of first round upsets to bring

them together on the court, but Gregg Marshall and Northern Kentucky head coach John Brannen share some history. Twenty years ago, Marshall briefly coached Brannen at Marshall University, joining the staff as an assistant coach prior to Brannen’s senior sea-son (1996-97). That year, Brannen averaged 21 points, and the team won a share of the Southern Conference’s North Division title. They came within an eyelash of an NCAA Tournament appearance, losing to Chattanooga on a last-second tip-in in overtime of the conference tournament championship.

The Norse completed a four-year reclassification from NCAA Division II to Division I last summer. This is their first year of postseason eligibility.

Northern Kentucky improved from 9-24 last year to 24-10 this year. That 13-game improvement marks the nation's third-biggest turnaround behind UCLA (+13.5) and Minnesota (+15.0).

Marshall is 5-0 vs. Horizon League teams in 10 sea-sons at WSU. Shockers notched a BracketBusters victory gainst Detroit in 2012-13 and won the return trip in December, 2015. Early in his Shocker tenure, Marshall also swept Cleveland State (2-0) and won a Thanksgiv-ing tournament contest against Illinois-Chicago in the Virgin Islands.

RECENT MEETINGS3/23/2014 $ St. Louis, Mo. L 76-78$ = NCAA Tournament n = NIT b = CBI

MATCHUP NOTES: A Wichita State and Kentucky second round matchup

would mark just the second time in NCAA Tournament history that two 30-win teams have met in the first weekend. On March 24, 2008, No. 2 seed Tennessee (30-4) faced No. 7 Butler (30-3) in the Round of 32 in Birmingham, Ala. The Vols escaped in overtime, 76-71.

The only meeting between WSU and Kentucky was a memorable one -- taking place in the 2014 Round of 32. The Shockers entered the day at 35-0 after completing Division I's first undefeated regular season since 1991 UNLV. However, a young but talented Kentucky team pulled together for a 78-76 upset on its way to a Na-tional Runner-Up finish.

Just two current Shockers were active for that game (walk-on seniors Zach Bush and John Robert Si-mon). A third, Shaquille Morris, was on the bench as a redshirt.

A potential Elite Eight rematch loomed in the spring of 2015 when both teams advanced to the Midwest Regional semifinals. Kentucky -- which was working on an undefeated season of its own -- took down West Virginia, but the Shockers fell to Notre Dame.

WSU is 8-4 against SEC schools under Marshall (3-0 vs. LSU, 3-2 vs. Alabama, 1-0 vs. Vanderbilt, 1-1 vs. Ten-nessee and 0-1 vs. Kentucky).

A FIRST ROUND WIN WOULD... ... Give Wichita State 31 wins on the year -- the second highest season total in program history (the 2013-14 Shockers finished up at 35-1).... Extend the Shocker winning streak to 16-games (also the second longest in school history behind... yeah, those guys).... Advance WSU to Sunday's second round for a match-up with either No. 2 seed Kentucky or No. 15 Northern Kentucky.... Give the Shockers a first round victory for the fifth consecutive year and improve their NCAA Tournament record over that span to 10-5.... Improve WSU's all-time NCAA Tournament record to 18-14 in 14 trips.... Be Wichita State's 1,202nd victory as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference -- tied with Drake atop the league's all-time wins list.... At long last, avenge Dave Stallworth and the 1962 Shockers' first round NIT loss and improve WSU to 1-2 against Dayton all-time.

A FIRST ROUND LOSS WOULD... ... End Wichita State's season at 30-5.... Be the program's first one-and-done in the NCAA Tournament since 2012 when they fell to No. 12 seed VCU in the Round of 64.... Snap a 15-game winning streak.... Make Gregg Marshall 9-6 in six NCAA Tournaments at WSU and 10-13 overall in 13 trips.... Be less good than a win.

SHOCKERS vs. AP NATIONALLY-RANKED TEAMS Wichita State is 54-129 all-time against teams ranked

in the Associated Press Poll, including 6-23 on neutral courts.

The Shockers are 0-2 against top-25 teams this year, falling on back-to-back days in the Bahamas to No. 10 Louisville and No. 24 Michigan State at the Battle 4 At-lantis.

All-time, the Shockers are 7-7 against ranked teams in NCAA Tournament play. In 2016, WSU took down No. 17 Arizona 65-55 but lost two days later against No. 10 Miami in the Round of 32.

Gregg Marshall is 12-14 against top-25 teams as Shocker head coach with an impressive 5-3 record in NCAA Tournament play.

WSU's last win over a top-10 team came March 22, 2015 when the 12th-ranked Shockers downed No. 10 Kansas in the second round.

The program is 21-63 all-time against top-10 foes. Marshall is a solid 4-5 against top-10 teams at WSU. A ranked WSU team has met a ranked opponent just

22 times in school history. The Shockers are an even 11-11 in those games.

SELECTION SUNDAY QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREGG MARSHALL ON… …Having the perpetual "chip-on-your-shoulder." "That's all I know. I'm just glad (the selection panel) didn't forget about us. I was starting to think they might forget about us and not put us in at all. We have a chance to go to Indianapolis (and) play Dayton. I've admired their program for years, and I'm familiar with their arena from last year. Their fans were very hospi-table while we were there…I'm just glad we're in. It should be a great game." …What the team's been doing with the week off."We watched highlights of our games against Bradley, Missouri State and Illinois State from the (conference) tournament. What (the players) do in their free time – how much they watch basketball - is up to them. I've been watching quite a bit (of basketball). I've enjoyed my week off. I've had some beautiful meals in town; spent time with my family. We've had two or three days off to try to heal our bodies, clear our minds, and now we have an opponent. Tomorrow's practice will prob-ably have a little more 'pop' to it. But we've practiced hard. The days we've gone, we haven't gone long, but they've been a typical practice for us." …If, in hindsight, he thinks an MVC Final loss to Illinois State would have bumped WSU to the NIT."Who knows, who knows. You're No. 8 in the KenPom. You're a ten-seed, but you're No. 20 in the country…Somehow, 20 divided by four equals ten. But that's okay. That's the way it's been for a long time. I don't know what we'd do if we were a really good seed most of the time. The year we got the one seed, we drew Kentucky (in the second round), who was an eight. That was probably another mistake…but we're in. No matter who you play at this point, they're going to be champions. They're going to be really good. I'm not go-ing to focus on that. I'm going to focus on trying to stop Scoochie (Smith) and the Dayton Flyers." …How WSU has been able to compete with higher-seeded teams."Because we're really good…I don't have any reason other than our guys play really hard, they play together and they play defense. They play on both ends. They're coachable, and they care." …The South Region, as a whole."Well, I look at Dayton first. That's my focus... Youve got North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA. I think (CBS) said there's 24 combined National Championships between those three. If we win this year, that'll be 25. If we have to go through them, so be it. You're going to play great teams, there's no way around it. That's why it's a great tournament. ...When/if he's watched any Dayton games.I've seen them a little bit. They have a forward who I really liked that drove it really strong to the basket.. I'm familiar with Scoochie, the point guard, and Archie Miller's been one of the best young coaches in our busi-ness for a long time. He's built that program, he's been loyal to that program and they've continued to be really good."

…The team's reaction during the Selection Show."Well, I was a little concerned for Markis (McDuffie), he was worried that they might've forgotten about us. I as-sured him that that probably wasn't going to happen, but he kept saying 'stop playing, stop playing, where are we going to be?' Who, when and where, that's all they wanted to know.

ZACH BROWN ON… …The best part of the Tourney, besides the games."Just the environment. It's electric everywhere you go…the environment is amazing. In all my years, this is the most fun I've ever had playing basketball. I've never seen anything like it. I'm excited to be in that position again." …Advice for young players/newcomers who are new to the Tournament."…We're going to treat it like any other game. Just take it one game at a time, stay level-headed, do what you need to do in practice, and get ready for (Dayton)."

MARKIS McDUFFIE ON… …The "Rust vs. Rest" factor, having not played since last the MVC Final on March 5."We just know when game time comes, it's time to lock in. You can't take plays off. It's the Tournament now, so everyone is playing hard, play-by-play. Everyone wants to advance." …What he enjoys most about the Tournament, be-sides playing."Extending our season with our teammates, our broth-ers. A lot of people are at home wishing they could be in the Tournament, and the fact that we've got a longer season ahead of us and can spend more time with each other is great."

LANDRY SHAMET ON… ...What the team did with its week off between MVC Tournament and Selection Sunday"We took a couple days off after the (conference) tour-nament. We're getting back to work now, so just re-maining competitive in practices – which we've been doing – and keeping our preparation the same as it's always been." …If there's a chip-on-the-shoulder feeling."It's been kind of par for the course. This whole year, we're supposed to have fallen off. The downfall of Wichita State. Armageddon, basically… I think every-body here already has that chip. That's the unique thing about these guys. Coach (Marshall) recruits those kinds of guys with that, and enhances that vibe when they get here. Obviously, we thought we were higher than (a 10), so I guess that will add to that."

…The South Region, overall."Our bracket's really loaded. We've got a lot of good teams. You can't really look too far ahead. My full at-tention – everyone's full attention - is on Dayton. We know we have to come out and do what we got to do against them."

CHARLES KOCH ARENA

Wichita State's on-campus home, Charles Koch Arena, is often referred to as "the Roundhouse" for its unique circular shape. The building opened in December, 1955 and is in its 61st season of use.

The Shockers have won just over three-quarters of their games in the arena all-time, at 690-216.

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 14 seasons since the renovation, the Shockers are 174-34 on campus.

That includes a 139-20 mark under Gregg Marshall. WSU has won 59 of its last 60 games at Charles Koch

Arena over the last four seasons. The lone loss came to Northern Iowa on Feb. 13, 2016 and snapped a school-record 43-game home winning streak.

Throw in a 6-1 record at downtown INTRUST Bank Arena, and WSU is 123-10 (.925) overall in Wichita since the start of the 2010-11 campaign.

HOME COOKIN' The Shockers were unbeaten in 16 games at Charles

Koch Arena this year, outscoring opponents by an aver-age of 30.1 points. All 16 wins were by double-figures.

WSU led wire-to-wire in 10 of the games and trailed for a combined 9:22 in the other six.

WSU was +11.9 on the glass. Loyola (+5 on Jan. 11) and Missouri State (+7 on Feb. 9) were only teams to outrebound the Shockers on Devlin Court. It's happened just 15 times total under Marshall (159 games).

LOUD NOISES Charles Koch Arena has played host to 197-consecu-

tive regular season crowds of 10,000+, dating back to December of 2004.

The Shockers’ 45-game campus sellout streak ended on Nov. 29 when the ticket office reported 70 unsold general admission seats. That run began on Senior Day 2013 and lasted for nearly three-and-half years.

WSU has played in front of sellout crowds (10,506) at 13 of its 16 campus home games this year (including each of the last seven).

For the fourth-consecutive year, WSU sold its entire allotment of season tickets (just over 9,000 total).

WSU's home court advantage is owed largely to the school's passionate fanbase, with a little assist from sci-ence. The arena's circular shape and highly-reflective dome roof amplifies sound and funnels it downward toward center court.

KEYSER'S CAREER TOTALS

OVERVIEW

2016-17 (Freshman): An elite athlete who prides himself on his defense… Game and physical stature are reminiscent of former Shocker guard Tekele Cotton, a two-time conference defensive player of the year. Prep School: Played a prep year at powerhouse Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H… Ran the point guard position for the first time and learned important lessons in controlling the game, leading teammates and knowing every spot in the offense… Helped lead the Bobcats to a 25-9 finish, a league championship and a quarterfinal appearance at the National Prep Championships… In late January, banked home a 35-footer at the buzzer to give Brewster an 81-79 victory over Northfield Mount Hermon… Starred in a viral video on youtube in which he leaped and kissed the rim… High School: Played his senior season for WSU assistant Kyle Lindsted at Sunrise Christian Academy near Wichita… Earned three stars from both ESPN and Rivals and was considered a top-20 shooting guard by ESPN prior to reclassifying to the class of 2016… Also drew interest from Utah, Nebraska and Long Beach State… A standout performer for a Sun-rise program that has cranked out more than two-dozen Division I signees over the last two years… Served as team captain… Named MVP of four-different tournaments as a senior, including the prestigious Marshall County Hoopfest and the Kentucky Blue Grass National Championship (which Sunrise won)… As a junior in 2013-14, led Pat-terson Mills High School in Baltimore to a Class 2A State Semifinal appearance… Personal: Full name is Chadwick Keyser Jr… Born Feb. 6, 1997 in Baltimore, Md.… Son of Chad-wick Keyser Sr. and Tracey Oliver… Has one brother, Christopher (28) and one sister, Jessica (27)… Got a late start with basketball, playing his first season of organized ball in seventh grade… Entering high school, was accepted to the prestigious Baltimore School of Arts as a percussionist, but turned it down to pursue basketball.

Gregg Marshall:“He’s explosive, can play a multitude of positions on the perimeter and profiles as a lock-down defender. We had an opportunity to watch him quite a bit at Sunrise, and he had a chance to see how this program operates.”

High School: A two-time Arkansas Class 3A All-State selection… Earned state tournament MVP hon-ors as a senior after leading Cedar Ridge (36-3) to its third title in four years, averaging 43.3 points over the four games… For the season, averaged 32.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists… An underrated prospect whose stock improved significantly over the course of his senior year… Ranked the No. 3 player on the Arkansas Fab-40 list… A Rivals 3-Star prospect who committed to Wichita State in mid-January… Scored a season-high 73 points in a triple-overtime win over eventual Class 5A champion For-rest City in December, 2015… MVP of the 2016 NEA Tournament after averaging a tournament-record 47.8 points over four games… As an underclassman, teamed with older brother, Spencer, to win back-to-back Class 2A state titles... Teams went 128-16 (.889) over his four seasons… Coached by Isaac Middlebrooks… Played AAU for the Arkansas Wings under Matt Hall… Chose WSU over offers from Arkansas State, South Dakota State, Montana State and Utah State due to its coaches and atmosphere… Also participated in golf and tennis… Personal: Austin Tyler Reaves… Born May 29, 1998… Son of Nicole Wilkett and Brian Reaves… Both parents played collegiately at Arkansas State… Mother was an all-conference forward and averaged over 20 points per game in her final season… Father played point guard and is tied for third on ASU’s career assists chart (384)… Brother, Spencer, plays at Central Misouri…

Gregg Marshall: “His scoring numbers stand out, because that’s what he needed to do in order for his high school team to be successful, but we think Austin is the complete package. Growing up in a basketball family, he’s already developed a great skillset. He handles the ball well, plays good fundamental defense, and has a knack for getting to the foul line. He’s also a guy who excels at making plays for others.”

2015-16Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the YearMVC All-Newcomer Team MVC All-Bench TeamMVC All-Freshman Team


2016-17 (Sophomore):Preseason First Team All-Missouri Vallley Conference... One of 20 players named to the Julius Erving Award preseason watch list (small forward of the year)... Was limited dur-ing the team's Canadian exhibition tour in August by a partially torn meniscus on his right knee... Had surgery on the knee on Aug. 19 and returned just in time for the of-ficial start of fall pratice in early October.

2015-16 (Freshman): The Missouri Valley Conference’s youngest freshman by a wide margin, turning 18 just a few days into the fall semester, but made a tremendous impact on his way to MVC Freshman of the Year honors… First WSU player to win MVC Freshman of the Year since 2002 and just the fourth overall… Also named to the All-Freshman, All-Newcomer and All-Bench teams… Averaged 7.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 18.5 minutes and tied for third on the team with 27 steals… Made his biggest strides defensively, transforming from an early-season liability to a major weapon… Platooned with Zach Brown at the 3 and his used his length and athleticism to shut down some of the MVC’s top scoring guards… Led all MVC freshmen in points-per-40 minutes (16.1)… Ranked fifth in the MVC (all players) on statistical guru Ken Pomeroy’s Offensive Efficiency chart… One of just five MVC reserves to average north of 7.0 points per game… Part of a WSU unit that averaged a league-best 29.4 bench points per game and ranked in the top-20 na-tionally…Athleticism and skillset were never questioned, but needed time to adapt to the mental side of college basketball… Was a strong redshirt candidate near the end of preseason but ultimately joined the active roster… Used sparingly against Charles-ton Southern (Nov. 13) and Emporia State (Nov. 21) and not at all against Tulsa (Nov. 17)… Injuries to multiple rotation players and a desperate need for offense forced him into the lineup at the AdvoCare Invitational, where he enjoyed a breakout perfor-mance… After collecting just five points (all on free throws) in the Shockers' first three regular season games, provided a huge scoring lift for the Shockers, averaging 12.3 points, 3.7 boards and 2.0 steals in three tournament games while hitting 6-of-11 from three… Scored 14 points against Southern California (Nov. 26), 14 against Alabama (Nov. 27) and nine against Iowa (Nov. 29) while making his first career start… Scored big but struggled defensively, often missing assignments, but learned from the experi-ence and made steady improvement over the next few weeks… Had his best shooting game of the year at a crucial time, hitting 4-of-5 threes in a 13-point effort against No. 25 Utah (Dec. 12)… Scored in double-figures five times during WSU’s 9-0 January and averaged 9.4 points… Finished with 14 points in 19 minutes in a road win at Bradley (Jan. 3) – the first of six double-figure scoring games during conference play… Was instrumental in WSU’s win at Missouri State (Jan. 13) grabbing a season-high nine re-bounds while scoring 10 of his season-best 16 points over one three-minute stretch late in the first half to lead the Shockers back from an early 11-point deficit…. Had 15 points as WSU handed UNI its worst home loss in its 10 seasons at the McLeod Center… Following the UNI game, struggled with his shot over the final 17 contests and was just 7-of-35 (.200) from deep the rest of the way but had success inside.

HOW DARRAL WILLIS GREW FROM AKWARD FRESHMAN TO SCORING STARBy Paul Suellentrop, Wichita EagleDec. 31, 2016

Scoring mystified Darral Willis not too long ago, a circumstance that seems impos-sible given his current status as Wichita State’s rapid-fire go-to guy.

“He had a hard time making a layup as a freshman,” Madison (Wisc.) Memorial coach Steve Collins said. “It looked like a newborn giraffe, his body was going so fast and he just wasn’t coordinated.”

Willis, now a junior at Wichita State, remembers it the same way. When he went to Madison Memorial, everyone told him tall people play basketball, so he tried.

“I was struggling,” Willis said. “I had so many different shot forms that I didn’t know how to shoot the ball. Before high school, I didn’t play much basketball unless it was out on the back courts, with chain nets.”

On Sunday, Willis will start for Wichita State (11-3, 1-0 Missouri Valley Conference) against Bradley (6-8, 1-0) as his team’s top scorer. After Wednesday’s 25-point, 10-rebound performance at Indiana State, he is the first Shocker with two double-figure points and rebounds games in a season since Cleanthony Early recorded four in 2013-14.

Willis, a 6-foot-9 forward, is now a supremely confident scorer, possessing a soft left-handed touch out to 15 feet, quick post moves and the willingness to run the floor.

While his defense is improving, scoring is what makes Willis go early in his Shocker career. He averages 12.5 points and is shooting 56 percent from the field. In the past six games, all as a starter, he averages 15.5 points and 7.8 rebounds.

When Willis gets the ball, he is decisive and ready to shoot. Like Early, his scoring skills cover up defensive shortcomings as he learns WSU’s system and demands.

“He’s definitely confident,” sophomore Markis McDuffie said. “The first day I met him, he was all about action on offense.”

WSU coach Gregg Marshall doesn’t see Willis as a finished product. He can still see some of the awkwardness in Willis’ shooting form and moves. Some of that may help him against defenders who aren’t used to guarding lefties.

“He has an interesting shot, but he’s perfected it,” Marshall said. “His offensive game is not something you’d draw up. It’s kind of herky-jerky. I’ve always said lefties are hard to guard.”

When Willis arrived at WSU in June, his defensive skills and interest seemed negli-gible. His job at Pearl River (Miss.) Community College was to score and rebound. He did that well enough to earn third-team NJCAA All-American honors. At WSU, he needed to dramatically improve his defensive concentration and effort.

“When he came in, he was 100-percent offensive focused,” Marshall said. “We’re try-ing to get that to 50-50 and we’re probably at 70-30. But he can put the ball in the basket and we needed that. We need a guy that can score like that and he’s already become a better defender.”

Willis, Collins said, started to improve as a junior in high school and took big strides during the summer before his senior season. That paid off with an All-State and conference player of the year selection. His improvement came from hours in the gym, working with trainers and Memorial assistant coach Mark Newburg, who played at Wisconsin.

“We got him working with the right people,” Collins said. “He’s always had really good touch around the basket — he’s got a guard’s touch.”

Willis liked soccer and football as a youngster. He settled on a basketball for physical and practical reasons.

“I saw that basketball could take me a lot of places and help me and my family out,” he said. “So I was trying to get better and get to the next level.”

WICHITA STATE FRESHMAN UNDERSTANDS THAT HUNT-ING SHOTS RARELY IMPRESSES COACHBy Paul Suellentrop, Wichita EagleJan. 9, 2017

It is difficult, if not impossible, for a basketball player to shoot his way into Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall’s heart.

Freshman C.J. Keyser realizes this. So does roommate Austin Reaves, and in a Shock-er Hall dorm room where two people from different backgrounds live, this is an area of agreement.

Some who came before them — think Corey Henderson Jr. or Ria’n Holland — never seemed to fully grasp the defend-first, shoot-fourth approach Marshall demands. Elite scoring talents such as Cleanthony Early or Darral Willis earn some latitude, but those talents are rare.

“We talk about it all the time,” Reaves said. “Little things. Rebounding. Passing the ball. Don’t stand on offense. Cut. That’s the way I got started getting playing time.”Marshall used routs against Bradley and Drake to give Keyser a chance to add to WSU’s already impressive depth. He played 10 minutes against Bradley — his first significant action since November — and took care not to rush shots. He made a nice pass to start a play that produced a basket and played five first-half minutes without taking a shot.

“It took me a little while to figure that out, but I think I’ve got that now,” he said. “Playing defense. Getting stops. Being active. Running the floor. I’ve been doing well in that.”

Marshall saw those things in practice and rewarded Keyser, a 6-foot-4 guard who came to WSU billed as a potential stopper and a superb athlete. Keyser earned an-other first-half role against Drake and started strong. He handed out an assist on a Reaves three-pointer and took a charge from Drake’s Billy Wampler. His second-half minutes degenerated, as did many of his teammates’ in an uninspired 20 minutes.

“He’s got to be a defensive-minded guy,” Marshall said. “(Against Drake) he wasn’t. Just like everyone else in the second half, he didn’t guard very well.”

Reaves, from Newark, Ark., and Keyser, from Baltimore, know the expectations. Both sat out most of summer workouts with injury — Reaves rehabbing from shoulder surgery and Keyser with foot injuries. Both endured setbacks in the fall. Reaves returned more quickly and worked his way into the rotation with good shooting and passing.

Reaves loves watching ESPN and is a devoted hunter. Keyser can’t name his favorite show and says he doesn’t watch much TV. He wants to visit Reaves’ home to get his first experiences as an outdoorsman. Keyser is amazed that Reaves first ate at Chick-fil-A for the first time in college. While their life experiences are quite different, the roommate pairing is a plus.

“I don’t know how it works, but it really works,” Keyser said. “He’s a great person, before he’s a great basketball player. Austin’s had the opportunity to get a lot of minutes. He really knows what Coach wants.”

Reaves sees his friend following the plan in practice.

“He’s been playing really hard,” Reaves said. “In scout team, he’s always the other team’s best player. He does a really good job at it. When you have the skill set he has, you just have to get the system. If you get the system with him, he’s going to become a really, really good player.”

SHOCKERS UNLEASH A BEAST WHEN RAUNO NURGER COMES OFF THE BENCHBy Bob Lutz, Wichita EagleJan. 10, 2017

For a five-game stretch in late November and into December, Rauno Nurger was the starting center for Wichita State’s basketball team.

I’m sure it was a thrill for the 6-foot-10 Nurger, from Estonia, to have his name in lights. And it should never happen again.

At least not until further notice.

In those five games, Nurger played 71 minutes and scored five points to go with nine rebounds. He made 2 of 11 shots. Let’s just say he didn’t exactly take the start-ing job and run with it.

But in five games since losing his starting spot, Nurger has been a beast. The former Sunrise Christian Academy player has scored 36 points, grabbed 18 rebounds and made 16 of 20 shots in 77 minutes.

Nurger had the best game of his career Sunday in the Shockers’ 80-66 at Northern Iowa. Because so many players were beset by early foul troubles, including starting center Shaq Morris, Nurger played 23 minutes.

They were gold.

He scored 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting, grabbed four rebounds and even handed out a couple of assists.

Nurger has reached double figures in scoring four times this season, all as a non-starter.

“Maybe it’s a sign that I’ve arrived,” Nurger said of his Northern Iowa performance and the taunting he took from UNI students as he proceeded to carve up the Pan-thers. “I enjoyed it and I’m enjoying every second on the court – especially when I’m doing good.”

Nurger was all set to be redshirted last season. Until, that is, senior Anton Grady suf-fered a spinal concussion in a game against Alabama in the AdvoCare Invitational in Orlando, Fla., the Shockers’ fifth game of the season.

Needing some interior help, WSU coach Gregg Marshall lifted Nurger’s redshirt and he played in 28 games, averaging 1.6 points and 1.2 rebounds. He was out there for his body, not his production.

This season, though, Nurger has been a key part of the Shockers’ frontcourt, averag-ing nearly 16 minutes. He’s shooting 59.3 percent from the field, has made 23 of his 32 free-throw attempts and is even a threat from the three-point line, where he’s made 7 of 14.

“He’s stronger,” Marshall said of Nurger. “He’s a skill guy who’s gotten stronger and who understands our system really well. He can really move and change directions very well for a big guy. I’m glad to see him have success because he has worked so hard. I just wish he was a sophomore instead of a junior.”

Nurger, the ultimate “team guy,” understands why he was pressed into duty last season.

“To be honest, I’m just trying to do what is best for the team and best for me,” he said. “I just listen to the coaches and do what they think is best. They thought the best option for me was to take that redshirt off and start playing. I think I did good, especially in the NCAA Tournament. I helped the team get a couple of wins.”

Nurger was especially good in the Shockers’ first NCAA win, a 70-50 win over Vanderbilt, when he scored six points and had three rebounds in 17 minutes. It was obvious his role this season would be expanded and he’s become one of the Shock-ers’ 10 core players who are averaging 13 minutes or more.

Nurger has a nice offensive repertoire, including a left-handed hook that he has worked hard to develop. He’s also adept at using the backboard when he’s faced up to the basket from an angle.

“When I first came to basketball, I did not have a left hand at all,” Nurger said. “It all started for me back home, when we started working on developing my left hand when I was probably a junior in high school. I like being able to use my left hand because I feel like it helps me create more space between myself and the defender. It gives me just a little more room to be able to get off that shot.”

Nurger is part of a Wichita State frontcourt that includes Morris, Darral Willis and Rashard Kelly, and Marshall can usually count one at least one of those guys to give the Shockers solid production. Sophomore Eric Hamilton has been getting more minutes of late, too.

Willis has been the best of those players, averaging a team-leading 12.1 points and 6.1 rebounds. Morris, though, has once again been limited by injuries and fouls, averaging 16 minutes. Morris’ production (7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds) is solid when he’s out there, he’s just not out there enough.

Nurger, though, has been a good backup. He’s actually gotten to the free-throw line 10 more times than Morris.

“I’ve felt like the game has slowed down for me this season,” Nurger said. “I’ve al-ways been pretty good with my skills, but now I’m able to use them more. When you first come out of high school to the Division I level, the game is a lot faster and the players are more athletic. You have to make quicker decisions and be good with the decisions you make.”

Nurger is in a good spot. He’s become a key contributor on a team that needs him.

Just don’t make Nurger a starter again. He’s just fine coming off the bench.

MARKIS McDUFFIE IS GOING PLACES FOR WICHITA STATE BASKETBALLBy Bob Lutz, Wichita EagleJan. 12, 2017

There are a couple of things, especially, to like about Wichita State sophomore for-ward Markis McDuffie. One is his humility.

McDuffie realizes he’s not where he wants to be as a basketball player, which brings us to the other thing to like: He has a pretty idea of where he’s going and how he’s going to get there.

The 6-foot-8 McDuffie is showing tangible, exciting signs of improvement for the Shockers, including a career-high 26 points during Wednesday night’s 87-75 win over Loyola at Koch Arena.

“Man, he’s good,” Loyola coach Porter Moser said of McDuffie. “We didn’t do very good on him, but what a phenomenal game. Twenty-six points on 11 shots? He was phenomenal, a difference-maker. He’s a physical specimen who plays hard and battles.”

Yet McDuffie only turned 19 four months ago. His basketball body and mind are still developing, although McDuffie’s sculpted body is pretty far along.

“I just want to be the best player I can be every day,” McDuffie said. “I’m just watch-ing as much basketball as I can, studying and focusing. I watch all the greats — I love watching Kevin Durant and Giannis . . . I can’t really say his last name.”

That would be Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, one of the rising young stars in the NBA.

It’s fitting that one of the rising young stars in college basketball has gravitated to Antetokounmpo, I suppose. And McDuffie is certainly that, a player with huge upside who is pretty darn good in his current state.

After an offensive slump in games against Colorado State, Saint Louis and Okla-homa — during which McDuffie was 7 of 28 from the floor — he’s been on a roll. In seven games since, McDuffie is shooting 59.6 percent (31 of 52) has made 10 of 17 three-point attempts and 34 of 40 free throws.

MEDIA CLIPPINGS

“He’s a tremendous talent, let’s start there,” Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said of McDuffie, who is averaging 12.6 points and 5.2 rebounds. “And a wonderful young man.”

It’s Marshall’s job, though, to help McDuffie get to where both want him to be. So Marshall doesn’t pull punches.

When McDuffie jacked up a three-point shot early in a WSU possession and from several feet behind the line, Marshall wasn’t pleased, even though McDuffie had made his first four three-point attempts.

“He’s got to think the game a little more,” Marshall said. “He’s got this youthful exu-berance as a player that you love, but at times there needs to be a little more of a laser focus. He’s really, really good, but he also has room for improvement.”

You won’t get an argument from McDuffie, whose tool box is brimming with excit-ing athletic gadgets. He’s exciting now, but it’s his potential that makes the what-ifs add up.

“Most definitely, I’m a work in progress,” McDuffie said. “I’m young right now so I’m still trying to be mature as a basketball layer. That all comes with getting older. Each year, as I get older, I learn more.”

McDuffie is the latest in the long line of offensively-gifted Shockers learning to fit into Marshall’s system. Only once in the coach’s nine previous seasons has a player averaged more than 15 points (senior Cleanthony Early averaged 16.4 in 2013-14).

McDuffie hasn’t taken more than 11 shots in a game. This is a Wichita State team that goes 10 deep, so McDuffie’s not likely to play a whole lot more than the 23.7 minutes he’s averaging.

He did play 30 minutes against Loyola, though, and filled up the stat sheet. Overall, he’s shooting 49.3 percent from the field, 45.2 percent from the three-point line and 79.7 percent from the free-throw line.

There was a time during Wednesday’s game, though, when Marshall had to pull in his super sophomore. That came after the early and misguided three-point shot that Loyola rebounded and turned into an easy basket at the other end.

“I was just feeling it,” McDuffie said. “I haven’t been this confident shooting the ball in a while. I saw the guy guarding me had his hands down so I shot it. I didn’t know I was quite that far out and it was too early in the shot clock to take a shot like that.”

Mistakes, though, are dwindling. McDuffie is learning the ins and outs of the Mar-shall system and understanding that his coach appreciates offense but demands defense.

“I love guarding,” McDuffie said. “I love playing defense and I love guarding the other team’s best player when I get the chance. I guarded (Loyola’s) Milton Doyle and he’s really tough to guard. But I’m trying to be an all-around player and use my versatility. I just have to slow things down sometimes, that’s my biggest thing. My motor runs high and slowing down comes with maturity.”

Repeat, McDuffie is just 19. He was thrust into a major role last season, as a just-turned-18 freshman. Take a look at his face sometime — McDuffie looks more 15 than 22.

“His ceiling is unlimited, man,” said WSU teammate Landy Shamet. “He’s always jok-ing, always dancing and he can do it all — shoot, score with his back to the basket, everything. He’s still getting better and he always talks about how there’s still a long way to go.”

You don’t want to miss this journey.

WICHITA STATE SENIOR WALK-ONS RELISH IN SHOCKERS’ REMARKABLE RUNBy Lindsay Schnell, Sports Illustrated Campus RushFeb. 1, 2017

Fred VanVleet motioned for his teammates to clear the lane. J.R. Simon gulped. And then VanVleet, the former Wichita State All-America, initiated the Shockers’ newest walk-on.

Four years and one earned scholarship later, Simon laughs at the memory along with fellow walk-on Zach Bush. But that summer day in the WSU gym, during a pick-up game, Simon didn’t laugh. He wondered what the heck he’d gotten himself into.

“[VanVleet] took it as a joke, that a walk-on was guarding him, so he harassed me,” Simon says. “He picked me up [defensively] full court, stole the ball a couple times, backed me down to the post and it’s like, ‘Oh my God, what am I doing here?’”

VanVleet, now with the NBA’s Raptors, laughs at the memory. “I do it to all the new guys,” he says. “I think his was worse because we were like, ‘Who the hell is this kid, and why is he here?’ So I put him through the fire to see if he'd last. Now, he's one of my closest friends.”

Across the court, Bush, a year older and coming off a redshirt season, “couldn’t stop laughing,” he says. “I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Thank God I’m not a point guard, I couldn’t bring the ball up against Fred either.’” (In their defense, most guards strug-gled with that task.)

Now they’re seniors who lead from the bench, and the only on-court holdovers from Wichita State’s magical 2013–14 season, when the Shockers entered the NCAA tournament at 34–0 (they would lose to national runner-up Kentucky in the Round of 32). Bush and Simon average less than a combined seven minutes per game, but are charged with the task of playing program historians, reminding their younger teammates about what a mid-major can do, and the work it takes to get there.

First though, they had to learn it themselves.

A Wichita native, Bush got to the university just before the 2012–13 season, after a detour at Division-II Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. An All-State player at Eisenhower High, Bush signed with Washburn in April, and shortly after arriving on the Topeka campus in the summer was diagnosed with mononucleosis. His illness, coupled with a dislike of the Division-II school, prompted him to transfer to Wichita State and walk on. (Shockers coach Gregg Marshall says Bush redshirted his fresh-man year because Washburn would not release him from his scholarship) One year later, Bush had a Final Four ring on his hand.

Then came Simon. An Oklahoma City native with grandparents who lived in Wichita and were regulars at Shocker basketball games, Simon had played AAU basketball with Wichita State junior forward Shaq Morris, also of Oklahoma City. When Mor-ris committed to Wichita, he convinced Simon to walk on too. So Simon messaged Bush on Twitter, asking what it was like to be a non-scholarship player at WSU.

“That first workout I did, I called my parents afterward and said, ‘This might have been a mistake,’” Bush says. “I mean, I was literally going up against grown men my first year, because we had Carl Hall, who had missed a year or two so he was like 23 or 24! A part of me wanted to tell J.R. about that but you know, you’ve gotta let people figure stuff out for themselves. I didn’t want to be the one to crush his dream of playing Division-I ball.”

Both had considered playing at a junior college—the Jayhawk Community College Conference, within driving distance of both their homes, is one of the best leagues at that level—and Bush says when you play high school ball in the Midwest, “lots of jucos come calling.” But it wasn’t for them.

“I knew right off the bat I didn’t want to go to junior college because those guys, they’ve got some dog in them,” Bush says. “At juco you’ve gotta grind a little harder and let’s be honest, I’m more of a pretty boy.”

Simon echoed his sentiments. Though recruited by a handful of D-II and D-III schools throughout the Midwest and Texas, he remained committed to playing D-I.

MEDIA CLIPPINGS

“I may not play as much, but I knew the overall experience would be more worth my time,” Simon says.

There was more than a feel-good element, Bush says. He had heard from numerous people around town that he was crazy to think he could ever contribute for one of the top mid-major programs in the country. That doubt fueled him. “Staying here,” he says, “part of it was just that I wanted to prove people wrong so badly.”

Slowly, they both figured out how to contribute. Bush became a natural team co-median, cracking jokes when needed and hamming it up in front video cameras. (Marshall said he’s heard Bush does a spot-on impression of him, but he has yet to personally confirm it). Simon played extended minutes last season with VanVleet sidelined for a month due to injury and over a seven-game stretch recorded 10 as-sists, three steals and just two turnovers. Despite limited action, they each have an excellent statistic attached to their names: Bush leads the nation in careering win-ning percentage (55–1, .982), with Simon just behind him (73–5, .936). Their ca-reer has been littered with highlights usually reserved for high school All-Americas: An undefeated season, a Final Four trip, a No. 1 NCAA tournament seed.

“Golly, how do you pick a favorite moment?” Simon says. “As a walk-on, you just hope to make the tournament. Our team, we were a one-seed.”

Though most of their minutes come in mop up time now, they’re treated just like starters, Bush says. It does not matter if you are a walk-on or the leading scorer: If you throw the ball away during practice, you can expect a coach to scream at you. That comes mostly from a head coach who believes walk-ons are meant to be more than glorified practice players.

“When I was at Winthrop, my first year as a head coach, we started a walk-on in the first NCAA tournament in school history,” says Marshall, now in his 10th season at Wichita State. “I was hired [at Winthrop] in April and in May, I’m on campus and I see this 6' 7" kid in a pick-up game and then in March, he’s starting for us. I’ve always thought with walk-ons, yeah they can insulate you from injury, but the right ones can grow and expand your roster.”

Marshall says Bush and Simon have been a “tremendous benefit” to Wichita State’s program, and for him, the best part of the journey is that each player, at differ-ent times, has been awarded some scholarship aid. Bush got a scholarship for just the spring semester of his sophomore year when money freed up after a Shockers’ player unexpectedly left the team.

Simon was awarded his scholarship in late October under similar circumstances. After a Wichita State player left late in the summer, Marshall petitioned the NCAA to allow WSU to use the open scholarship on Simon for the remainder of the season. Marshall surprised Simon with the news at a team barbeque, held at his grandpar-ents’ home, while Bush watched with a smile stretched across his face.

“Coach had told me earlier that day, and it was really hard to go home and keep it a secret,” says Bush, who lives off-campus with Simon. “I couldn’t stop smiling during dinner because when somebody like a brother gets something they deserve, wow.”

But the best moment might have come later that day, when VanVleet tweeted his congratulations to Simon—and reminded him that he got there partially because of that other walk-on, Bush.

THIS IS THE CONNER FRANKAMP EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING TO SEEBy Bob Lutz, Wichita EagleFeb. 4, 2017

Over the past couple of years, I’ve said to anyone who would listen that Conner Frankamp would find his way as a college basketball player.

It’s time to admit that I wasn’t completely sure. But Frankamp, Wichita State’s red-shirt junior guard, is finally doing his best to vindicate me.

He scored a season-high 18 points Saturday night as the Shockers ran away from Illinois State 86-45 at Koch Arena. That’s three nights after he scored his previous career high of 16 at Drake, which was three days after he tied his career high with 15 at Bradley.

Frankamp’s confidence is soaring now, coincidentally or not at the same time the confidence of his coach grows in his use of Frankamp.

“That was as aggressive as I’ve seen him,” Marshall said of Frankamp, who made 6 of 10 shots for the third game in a row and hit four of his six three-point attempts. “It’s good to see that, good to see him hunting shots.”

When you have the capability of shooting like Frankamp, the City League’s all-time leading scorer, hunting is good.

But for so long, Frankamp looked apprehensive, unsure, doubtful. He spent most of his first three semesters sitting and watching at Kansas, then mostly deferred to WSU veterans and current NBA players Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet after becoming eligible at the semester break last season.

It was as if Frankamp got to the front door but could only tap on it gently for fear of waking someone up. It’s taken this long for him to finally kick the door without concern for what’s behind it.

Frankamp doesn’t have a magical answer as to why he’s worked his way beyond the confidence issues. He does his best not to think about those things. He does admit, though, that he’s feeling good on the court and with the ball in his hands.

“I just feel like I’m playing like I know how to play,” Frankamp said. “It’s quite a bit of relief, honestly. And it’s not just on the offensive end but the defensive end, too.”

Frankamp doesn’t have to carry the Shockers. This team’s depth is its greatest attri-bute and guys like Shaq Morris, Markis McDuffie and Zach Brown were really good Saturday night.

Frankamp, though, is the worst nightmare for the rest of the coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference. His ability to make shots, quelled for so long, is out of the bag.

“We all know he’s a great shooter, but the way he can shoot off the dribble is unique,” Illinois State coach Dan Muller said. “They’re so physical inside and have so many good players so when they have a guy like Frankamp who can hurt you every time he catches the ball, it makes a big difference.”

It’s telling, too, that Frankamp’s best college game came in Wichita State’s biggest game of the season. The Shockers were intent on avenging a 76-62 loss at Illinois State on Jan. 14, a game in which they were manhandled.

There was a different atmosphere inside Koch Arena on Saturday night. The place was buzzing an hour before the tip, a fan base that has seen one blowout after another this season eager for a good game.

This was a one-sided game, though, that kept everyone’s interest because of the opponent. And because of the bad blood between these two programs, which got another infusion Saturday when Marshall called a timeout with less than a minute remaining.

He said it was because Muller called a timeout at about the same time in the game at Illinois State.

The handshake between the two coaches was brief both before and after the game.

“If you want to be mad, don’t be down by 40,” Muller said of the late Shockers’ time

out.

This is good stuff during a season in which the Valley hasn’t produced much dra-ma. If WSU and ISU meet for a third time in the championship game of the Valley tournament in St. Louis next month, it’ll be the Redbirds seeking revenge and the Shockers trying to make sure Illinois State is rebuffed.

For now, both teams are 11-1 in the conference, head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. But a 41-point drubbing does send a message and how Illinois State interprets it will go a long way in determining how the rest of the regular season unfolds.

Don’t bank on the Shockers losing any more games, even though road trips to Loyola, Southern Illinois and Missouri State loom. WSU is a near lock to take care of Missouri State, Northern Iowa and Evansville at home, where the Shockers have won 13 games by an average margin of 28.4 points.

Now that Frankamp is firing without hesitation, the Shockers’ arsenal has an even great stockpile.

“He’s being aggressive,” McDuffie said of Frankamp. “He can really shoot the ball and he’s got it going now and being what we wanted him to be. We’ve been waiting for it and now he’s there and hopefully he’ll continue.”

WSU’s BACKCOURT OF SHAMET AND FRANKAMP HEAT UP IN MVC PLAYBy Paul Suellentrop, Wichita EagleFeb. 8, 2017

Point guards are No. 1 in the common basketball labeling system, signaling where offensive plays start and denoting their importance in most duties.

Wichita State operated with clear No. 1’s in recent seasons — Clevin Hannah, Joe Ragland, Malcolm Armstead, Fred VanVleet.

This season, after months of questions and curiosity about the next No. 1, coach Gregg Marshall found the answer in a pair of 1.5’s — junior Conner Frankamp and redshirt freshman Landry Shamet. While neither are pure point guards, their skills are versatile enough that they complement and amplify each other and direct one of the nation’s best offenses.

Marshall’s always highlighted his affection for and the importance of point guards in his system. He likes to stockpile player with those skills and his use of numerous plays makes their role more difficult and more important than on some teams. The departure of VanVleet and Ron Baker opened the position in a way it hadn’t been open in years — Who could replace two NBA guards?

“We lost 40 minutes of point-guard play, and it’s crucial,” Marshall said. “They both can do it, but Landry has a little more north-south to his game. We wanted Conner to look for shots.”

The answer took into late January for Shamet and Frankamp to settle into — and then excel — at their roles. While there’s always competition for minutes, the pair-ing appears poised to lead the Shockers into March. Shamet plays point guard most of the time, especially when the Shockers run plays in the half court. On the break, Frankamp is just as likely to move the ball up court.

“Landry Shamet getting the majority of minutes (at point guard) gives us the best chance to be good right now and, possibly, be at our best long-term,” Marshall said.

WSU (21-4, 11-1 Missouri Valley Conference) plays Missouri State (15-10, 6-6) at Koch Arena on Thursday to start a closing stretch that will determine the MVC title and NCAA Tournament worthiness. For the Shockers, who trail Illinois State by a half-game atop the MVC, a loss damages both categories.

The success of the backcourt starts with careful ball-handling in a program where turnovers are not tolerated. Times when Shamet and Frankamp appear rattled or out of control are rare. The rest of the team can draw confidence and a sense of

reliability from the guards and their demeanor.

While the Shockers don’t run plays late in the shot clock, as they did in recent sea-sons for VanVleet and Baker, Marshall said the offense hasn’t been simplified much beyond that for his new point guards. The summer practices and exhibition trip to Canada helped the learning process.

“Cool, calm collected,” center Shaq Morris said. “(Shamet’s) not sped up at all. We believe we’ve got a strong set and something we can always lean on every night.”

Frankamp and Shamet started the past six games together. Marshall wanted to change his lineup after a Jan. 14 loss at Illinois State and inserted Frankamp in place of junior Daishon Smith, whose production and minutes dipped as MVC play progressed. The division of labor — Shamet at point, Frankamp at shooting guard — soon clicked. During the summer and early fall, Shamet wasn’t quite careful enough with the ball for Marshall to trust him at point. That gradually changed and he leads the MVC in assist-to-turnover ratio, 2.9 in all games and 3.1 in MVC play.

Shamet’s time at point guard takes advantage of his driving ability and size. Moving Frankamp off the ball for most of his minutes highlights his shooting. Their shooting skills stretch defenses — two key plays against Drake used Shamet and Frankamp as decoys and produced a layup for Rauno Nurger and a dunk for Rashard Kelly.

“Almost 10 times out of 10, when you throw it to (Frankamp), it’s going to be a wide-open three, knocked down,” Shamet said. “We’re starting to gell pretty well.”

In MVC games, Shamet averages 12.3 points and 3.7 assists. He is shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 46.3 percent from three-point range.

“We both take care of the ball pretty well and we have good chemistry,” Frankamp said. “Landry’s done a great job getting everybody involved He’s able to find the open man, and I can do the same thing.”

Frankamp, over the past 12 conference games, averages 9.3 points and is shooting 50.6 percent from the field, 49.1 percent behind the arc. In his past three games, he averages 16.3 points on 11-of-20 shooting from three-point range.

“Conner, with how aggressive he’s being, is perfect at (shooting guard),” Morris said. “We get the ball out of his hands a little, let Landry make the plays, and (Frankamp) does what makes him comfortable, which is shoot the ball.”

As they gained firmer control of their roles, the minutes increased. Both played 30-plus minutes against Bradley and Drake, in part because Austin Reaves missed two games with a shoulder injury. The minutes are welcome, both said.

“Flow is big for a point guard,” Shamet said. “You get a feel for how officials are officiating, what kind of a tone Coach (Marshall) wants to set, what he’s looking for. As an individual, it’s getting to know when to take your shot, when to look for other people.”

FRANKAMP PUSHES HIS WAY ONTO ALL-VALLEY BALLOTS WITH REDHOT MONTHBy Paul Suellentrop, Wichita EagleFeb. 17, 2017

One can imagine that by mid-January, Missouri Valley Conference coaches felt relief. Wichita State’s Conner Frankamp, it appeared, was a backup guard with a jump shot that deserved respect, not fear.

In the past month, that scouting report is no longer accurate and, in fact, seems to describe a player who no longer exists.

Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson, who worked on coach Bill Self’s staff at Kan-sas when Self recruited Frankamp, knew the talent lurking better than most. On Wednesday, Frankamp continued his series of outbursts with 14 points — nine in a 62-second span — in the second half of an 87-68 win at SIU Arena.

“I’m really happy for his success; I wish he wasn’t so great against us,” Hinson said. “I think he’s the hottest player on the team right now. You have to get out on him no matter where he’s at, and that enables those guys to be open on the interior.”

Frankamp’s gravitational pull on defenses wasn’t so pronounced for much of his WSU career. As of Jan. 16, he played in 47 games as a Shocker and averaged 6.3 points while shooting 34.8 percent from three-point range and 38.5 overall. In 26 games against MVC teams, he had not started and scored in double figures twice.

In the nine games since, Frankamp is a terror and his hot streak, combined with WSU’s success, is pushing him into All-MVC consideration.

The Shockers (24-4, 14-1 MVC) play Northern Iowa (14-12, 9-6) on Saturday at Koch Arena. Like Frankamp, the Panthers are a different bunch than earlier in the season. WSU defeated UNI 80-66 on Jan. 8 and since then it is 9-2 and in third place in the Valley with three games to play.

Frankamp, a junior from North, started the past nine games and averages 12.3 points in that stretch by making 25 of 40 (62.5 percent) of his three-pointers and 40 of 70 shots (57.1). In his past six games, he averages 14.8 points and is 19 of 32 (59.3 percent) from behind the arc.

“Get him the ball,” WSU center Shaq Morris said. “Whenever we see the basket get big for him, it’s a good thing.”

Frankamp’s spoken often about his growing confidence as the reason for his surge. Marshall points to a season at Kansas where Frankamp played more than 20 min-utes once, followed by a transfer to WSU. Last season, he naturally deferred to Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet.

“I think it takes different players different amounts of time,” Marshall said. “You never know how long it’s going to take a guy to ‘get it’ and to finally feel comfort-able and assured that we believe in him as a staff.”

Frankamp returned to starting lineup against Evansville on Jan. 17 and clicked by playing shooting guard with Landry Shamet at point guard. In the past two games, Frankamp’s watched the game develop, shook off quiet first halves and turned into a game-changer in the second half.

“The guys do a great job of finding him and they know he can really shoot it,” Mar-shall said. “Once he gets in that rhythm, we try to find him shots.”

At Loyola, he scored all 16 of his points in the second half, making 7 of 12 shots. At SIU, he missed both of his first-half shots before making 5 of 7, 4 of 4 from three-point range, in the second half.

“I didn’t get too many good looks in the first half,” Frankamp said after Wednesday’s win. “In the second half, I got some looks and was able to knock them down. It was pretty much in the flow of the game.”

With WSU and Illinois State far ahead of the rest, they will earn plenty of All-MVC spots. WSU grabbed three first-team spots and one on the second team in 2013-14 when it went 18-0 in the regular season. In 2014-15, WSU and UNI dominated and they combined for three first-team spots and one second team.

The Shockers, even with their balanced scoring and playing time, will present plenty of candidates. Shamet, the likely Freshman of the Year, is the lone Shocker to start every game. Sophomore Markis McDuffie leads WSU in scoring and rebound-ing. Morris returned to the starting lineup at the same time as Frankamp and is on a similar roll with eight double-figure scoring games and three double-doubles in the past nine.

Frankamp’s surge isn’t too late for All-MVC consideration in the mind of Mark Ad-ams, who will broadcast Saturday’s game on ESPN2. Frankamp’s improvement on defense lifted all aspects of his game, opened the door to more minutes and show-cased his offensive skills.

“We’ve always known he can shoot,” Adams said. “His defensive awareness, his de-fensive positioning, his defensive ability have always been a huge question mark. He’s solved that.”

WICHITA STATE’S WALK-ON FRATERNITY CLOSES DOWN AN ERA OF CELEBRATIONS OF KOCH ARENABy Paul Suellentrop, Wichita EagleFeb. 20, 2017

Picture the Walk-on Retreat in Las Vegas.

Custom dictates it takes place at a casino on the very end of The Strip. Each guest arrives to chants of “We want (state-your-name).” No comp rooms at this conven-tion — walk-ons pay their own way. No drinks until last call, and then it’s a rush before the buzzer to drain a triple.

Should be a blowout weekend, which is when walk-ons are at their best.

There is talk of such a thing, a get-together to celebrate the characters at the end of the bench. They are the ones who make their mark as human victory cigars. They grow into crowd favorites because they’re often the size of normal people.

“People think of walk-ons as funny,” Wichita State senior J.R. Simon said. “We like to let people know the stories about our side of it.”

On Tuesday, Wichita State (25-4, 15-1 Missouri Valley Conference) plays host to Evansville (14-15, 5-11) in the final regular-season home game.

It is likely the final Koch Arena appearance — barring an NIT game — for Simon and Zach Bush, who are WSU’s only seniors.

Bush, from Eisenhower high, is the lone Shocker remaining from 2012-13, the Final Four season in which he redshirted. Simon, from Oklahoma City, came the next sea-son. He is on scholarship as a senior.

Bush has played in 60 games during his career; Simon in 81.

Both took to their roles enthusiastically by working hard in practice and leading the cheers from the bench. Simon was trusted enough in previous seasons to finish the first half or start the second at point guard when foul trouble hit starter Fred VanVleet.

Most walk-ons know their role. Bush gave up a scholarship offer to NCAA Division II Washburn to play for the Shockers. At Kentucky, Tod Lanter played three seasons knowing he gave his best minutes as a bruiser in practice tasked with defense and rebounding.

“I knew my role would be miniscule,” Lanter said. “My job was to sacrifice my body and push people around.”

It is that spirit and experience they share with around 70 other former and current basketball walk-ons in a group known as the Walk-on Fraternity on Twitter (@Wal-kOnFrat) and in their private GroupMe chats.

“You’ve got to have a sense of humor,” said C.J. Holmes, a former walk-on at Auburn. “You’re not the team’s go-to guy. You’re actually probably the 14th or 15th option.”

Bush, Simon, Holmes, Rem Bakamus at Gonzaga are among the group’s first mem-bers. It started during the 2014-15 season, according to Bush’s memory, when Bakamus and Holmes started contacting other walk-ons.

It grew into a Twitter account. ESPN’s Jay Bilas took notice. There are hopes for a walk-on retreat in Las Vegas. They’ve discussed entering a team in The Basketball Tournament, a summer event with prize money that attracts ex-NBA players. They follow each other through box scores and highlights and meet when their teams cross paths in tournaments.

Getting on TV for a sideline celebration — Gonzaga walk-ons specialize in the “Three guitar” and the “Three drums” after a three-pointer — is a victory they all savor. When a walk-on makes ESPN’s highlights, it’s a highlight for all of them.

“We always try to keep up, every game, see if the guys score, see if they get in the game,” Simon said. “You cheer for them. We’ve all been through it.”

The main point of the conversation is to swap stories.

“There are a lot of inappropriate stories that we can’t tell,” Bush said.

MEDIA CLIPPINGS

Here’s one: Bush and Simon quickly noticed not all walk-ons are coached at a schol-arship level. They feel WSU coach Gregg Marshall instructs them just as diligently as he does Landry Shamet or Shaq Morris, which is just the way they want it.

“Coach Marshall says we deserve to be coached just like everybody else,” Bush said.

That, they discovered, is not true for all coaches.

“One of the guys — I won’t mention any names — he said that his coach came up to him at practice and asked him where he had been the past few days,” Simon said. “He’d been there every day. The coach didn’t notice him.”

Holmes said he had a scholarship to Virginia Tech before a coaching change ruined those plans. He followed high school teammates to Auburn. He almost committed a walk-on faux pas when he started dunking in warmups before a game at South Carolina to impress a girl in the crowd.

That was OK until the officials took the floor, at which point dunks were not allowed under previous rules. Holmes dunked and his teammates looked at him strangely, expecting a technical foul.

“The whole gym went silent,” he said. “I was really feeling myself. The only reason I didn’t get a technical was the refs weren’t looking.”

BAKER AND VANVLEET HAVEN’T BEEN REPLACED, BUT NEW WSU BACKCOURT DUO ISN’T BADBy Bob Lutz, Wichita EagleFeb. 23, 2017

There was a sense of uneasiness, at least, when Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet de-parted as Wichita State basketball players.

Shocker fans will forever love those guys because of their personalities, flair and ability. They defined WSU basketball for several seasons, a run of seasons like no other in the program’s history, and there was tangible concern when they left in pursuit of NBA careers.

But there’s not a coach in college basketball more adept at developing a backcourt than the Shockers’ Gregg Marshall.

He’s taken a redshirt freshman (Landry Shamet) and a local guard struggling to find his high school swagger (Conner Frankamp) and helped make them into suitable replacements for Baker and VanVleet.

Shamet and Frankamp made 7 of 8 three-point attempts Tuesday night in a win over Evansville at Koch Arena. They’re shooting better than Baker or VanVleet ever did.

Over his past eight games, Frankamp has averaged 13.4 points while shooting 52.9 percent overall and 57.5 percent from the three-point line. Those confidence issues that strangely lingered during his first couple of semesters in a Shocker uniform have gone away.

Plus, Frankamp has become more than just a shooter. He’s being praised by Mar-shall and teammates for his defense and in those same eight games in which he’s scoring more, he’s also had 18 rebounds, 26 assists and 14 steals.

“I think Landry and I feed off each other pretty well,” Frankamp said. “He’s really done well playing the point guard and he finds me when I’m open. And I try to find him when he’s open, as well.”

Shamet’s stretch of big games goes back 18 games, during which he has averaged 12.8 points while shooting 53.5 percent from the floor and 51.8 percent from the three-point line.

These kind of shooters make Wichita State’s inside game that much more dangerous because Frankamp and Shamet stretch the defense. It’s surprising now when one of their shots doesn’t go in.

“They really are playing well,” said senior guard J.R. Simon, who made three three-pointers against Evansville in his final home game. “It’s hard coming in here and trying to replace Ron and Fred with everything they’ve done and the legacy they’ve left. But Conner and Landry are growing each day, getting better at handling the ball and knocking down their shots.”

You don’t replace everything Baker and VanVleet offered. They were lock-down de-fenders, tough rebounders and two of the smartest players in college basketball.

But Shamet and Frankamp are filling a lot of the void, especially lately.

Last season, Baker and VanVleet combined to make 40.9 percent of their shots and 36.1 percent of their three-pointers. In 18 Missouri Valley Conference games, those numbers were 42.6 and 36.9. They combined to average 26.2 points overall and 25.3 points in Valley games.

Shamet and Frankamp are shooting 46.6 percent overall and 44.4 percent from the three-point line in 30 games so far. In 17 Valley games, they’re shooting 52.2 percent overall and 51.3 percent from the three-point line. And that’s while taking significantly fewer shots than Baker and VanVleet.

Shamet and Frankamp don’t approach the overall value of Baker and VanVleet, though. The former Shocker standouts averaged 8.7 assists and eight rebounds last season. Shamet and Frankamp are averaging 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds.

But Shamet and Frankamp take care of the ball better than their predecessors with a 3.57 assist-to-turnover ratio; Baker and VanVleet had a 2.64 mark.

“Conner is really easy to play with,” Shamet said. “I think we’re really pretty inter-changeable as guards, we can do almost all of the same things offensively. We just gel well and know how to play with one another.”

These outstanding Shocker backcourts didn’t start with Baker and VanVleet. Mal-colm Armstead, Demetric Williams, Joe Ragland, Toure Murray, David Kyles and Clevin Hannah have all contributed to some really good Wichita State guard tan-dems during Marshall’s 10 years.

This particular duo, though, really took off when Marshall moved Shamet to the point and Frankamp to shooting guard. He doesn’t take credit, though.

“I think it’s worked better,” Marshall said, “but they’re both good players. The move was probably helpful but if Conner was still at the point and Landry was at the 2, they might be equally as good. I don’t know. I do like the way they’re sharing the basketball.”

After sharing minutes pretty equally with Daishon Smith and Austin Reaves earlier, Shamet and Frankamp have clearly become the Shockers’ go-to guards. And they’re not disappointing.

“You obviously can’t replace players like Ron and Fred,” Shamet said. “I’m still a freshman and they do things that I can’t do as well. But just having that confidence and not being afraid of that void has been one of my goals this entire season.”

Frankamp, too, has stepped into his comfort zone. It appeared he was reluctant to do anything to take away from the Ron and Fred experience, so he did his best to become a facilitator.

“I’m being more aggressive now,” Frankamp said. “I’ve gotten my confidence back and hopefully it’s something I can continue to build.”

THESE SHOCKERS ARE MAKING THEIR CASE FOR PROGRAM’S BEST OFFENSIVE TEAMBy Bob Lutz, Wichita EagleFeb. 25, 2017

For as long as Gregg Marshall has coached basketball, it’s been about getting his teams to defend. It’s the first, second and third priority.

His players defend or they don’t play. They rebound, play smart, don’t turn the ball over. Or else.

But Marshall, who by the way isn’t opposed to a team that can score, has a different animal this season. And how.

The Shockers continued their hot-shooting ways Saturday in an 86-67 win over Mis-souri State at the JQH Arena.

A bucket of ice water couldn’t have chilled guard Landry Shamet, who led Wichita State with 23 points and made 9 of 13 shots.

His running mate, junior Conner Frankamp, got it going late and made 6 of 10 for 14 points.

Center Shaq Morris was 8 of 11 for 20 points.

Wichita State shot 54.1 percent overall, 42.3 percent from the three-point line and made 9 of 11 free throws.

Missouri State guard Dequon Miller talked about how well the Bears played, and he was right. But they still lost by 19, which says all you need to know about the level at which the Shockers are playing.

“The answer is no, I haven’t had this kind of offensive team,” Marshall said after another journey into the 80s, the Shockers’ ninth during a 12-game winning streak. “I think this may be my best offensive team in my 19 years and the reason for that is we have so many different weapons at any given time on the floor.”

That’s why the Shockers were able to score 86 and win by 19 on a day when Mar-kis McDuffie and Zach Brown were 3 of 13. Because Shamet, Morris and Frankamp were 23 of 34.

It’s always someone for Wichita State and frequently someone different, although it’s hard to get more consistent than Shamet and Frankamp have been over the past month.

The 6-foot-4 Shamet was a 36.3-percent three-point shooter through the Shockers’ first 11 games but has been at 50 percent (48 of 96) since and is at 58 percent in the past 12.

Missouri State coach Paul Lusk said the Shockers are a better team than what won the Valley last season with a 16-2 record, went 26-9, produced two NBA players and won two games in the NCAA Tournament.

“You might say, ‘Well, you’re out of your mind,’ but I just think their team is better,” Lusk said. “Landry Shamet is a 6-4 point guard and I think someday he has a chance to be where (Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet) are.”

The Shockers have hit another gear and it’s hard to know whether it’s because of the low level of competition in the Valley, the high level of their play or – most likely – a combination of both.

It’s difficult to imagine this team not being competitive with any team in the coun-try, let alone sitting on pins and needles on Selection Sunday.

And if they’re watching the Shockers, how can there be a doubt?

“I said early in the year that I thought this team was going to be better than last year’s team offensively,” Marshall said. “I don’t know if I said it was going to be my best, though. I did say we could score the ball very easily, very well, and that there were a lot of different guys who can do it. The talent out there is obvious.”

And unrelenting.

The efficiency is crazy. The Shockers have 44 assists to eight turnovers the past two

games and Shamet and Frankamp finished the 18-game Valley run with 123 assists and 29 turnovers.

You can make the argument for this being Wichita State’s best offensive team.

The Shockers’ 82.5 points are their most since averaging 88.8 in 1978-79.

Their 48 percent field-goal percentage is the best since 2011-12 (48.2).

WSU is shooting 40.6 percent from the three-point line and could be the Shockers’ first 40-percent three-point-shooting team since the 1988-89 team shot 42.1.

And Wichita State knocks down free throws. It’s 73.2 percentage is the fifth-highest since 1967-68.

Remember, too, that 22 of the 27 wins have been by 15 points or more. This team regularly empties its bench early, takes it foot off the gas, so nobody is playing more than 26 minutes.

Give Shamet eight more minutes, which would bring him to a reasonable 33.8, and he’s averaging 14.4 points.

Give McDuffie another eight minutes and he’s at 15.7. Darral Willis would be at 15 points with those eight minutes while Morris (13.3) and Frankamp (11.3) would also see a significant boost.

This is a scary team, one that has managed to retain a chip on its shoulder through-out the most successful run in Shocker history.

You want to think Wichita State is going to slip after the loss of Baker and VanVleet? It’s certainly reasonable, but there’s no way these guys were going to let that hap-pen.

The Shockers average 10 more points than last season’s team. They shoot signifi-cantly better and get more rebounds.

No, they’re not quite as good defensively. But with this lethal offense, they don’t have to be.

WHAT’S PLAIN TO SEE WITH WICHITA STATE ISN’T AL-WAYS SO EASY TO ACKNOWLEDGEBy Bob Lutz, Wichita EagleMarch 5, 2017

ST. LOUIS -- It’s been 10 years now that Gregg Marshall has coached basketball at Wichita State. He’s turned the Shockers into a dominant Missouri Valley Conference force, sent players to the NBA, become the most-rumored about coach in college basketball — get ready for more of those, by the way — and made WSU a peren-nial 25-win team.

Yet every year there are doubters. Every year there are people not quite convinced that the Shockers’ resume or RPI or non-conference schedule or strength of some-thing or other is good enough.

People, do we have eyes? Can we trust them?

Wichita State blew up any doubt Sunday, beating Illinois State 71-51 in the Missouri Valley Conference championship game and clinching the conference’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

Whew.

Finally, Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com will be forced to put the Shockers in his bracket after stubbornly refusing to do so as an at-large possibility.

For a team that’s now made it to six straight NCAA Tournaments, been to a Final Four (2013) and started a season 35-0 before losing to Kentucky in an NCAA classic, the Shockers still aren’t given anything. Including respect.

Some of this, of course, is the fault of the Missouri Valley Conference, which hasn’t been able to keep up with WSU’s rapid rise. The Valley is down at the same time the

Shockers are up, so this team gets lost in the shuffle in January and February, when ESPN is shining its lights on the nation’s power conferences.

We pay too much attention to what everybody says and not nearly enough atten-tion to what teams do. Yes, the Shockers are in a bad conference. But they’ve oblit-erated the teams in that conference and have an undeniable track record of NCAA Tournament success.

Just last year, after barely getting in, WSU went to the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, and stoned Vanderbilt, then trounced Arizona in a first-round game before finally losing to Miami (Fla.) for a trip to the Sweet 16.

The Shockers are at a place in their history now where they can lose Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet to the NBA and go 30-4 the season after. They’re at a point where they can replace icons with Conner Frankamp and Landry Shamet and not lose much.

Frankamp, named the Most Outstanding Player of the Valley tournament after a 19-point performance against Illinois State, has been a different player for five weeks, averaging 13.9 points since Jan. 29 and shooting the lights out.

Shamet has taken over the point-guard position after being the No. 4 choice before the season started. Marshall loved the idea of Shamet playing off the ball, but the Shockers are best when he has the ball and Frankamp is working to find an opening.

“The turning point for us, I think if you had to pick one thing, would be giving Landry Shamet the ball and having him run the point,” Marshall said. “He’s been really good and Conner has come on. I think it’s pretty clear he’s playing with a dif-ferent level of confidence and moxie and shooting the ball brilliantly.”

Marshall also rightly pointed out the improved play of 6-foot-8 junior Shaq Morris in the post and the coming of age of junior forward Rashard Kelly. As usual, the Shockers are more than just one or two — or four or five — players. Marshall has done a great job with his roster and once again, for the ninth time in his 10 seasons, WSU will be without a player averaging 15 or more points.

Since losing at Illinois State 76-62 on Jan. 14, the Shockers have won 15 games by an average of 23.2 points. And yet there’s been this uneasiness that if Wichita State didn’t win in St. Louis, they’d be turned down at the entrance of the NCAA Tournament.

It’s crazy, really. A flaw in a system nobody really understands, but that is obviously weighted so a seventh-place team in a power conference can feel better about its tournament chances than a team that has rolled through its mid-major conference like an army taking over a country.

Illinois State coach Dan Muller knows the Shockers. He doesn’t need some guy in front of a computer, knee deep in mathematical algoryythms, to tell him what is plain to see.

“They have five guys on the floor at all times that are threats and it’s hard to guard,” Muller said. “As physical as their bigs are and as deep as their two (guards) can shoot it. We lost a little bit of discipline today. But in the end, Wichita State is the main reason for that.”

The Shockers erased all doubt Sunday by doing what they’ve been doing for a couple of months.

“I think what clicked, I mean we hate to lose,” said Kelly of how the Shockers have taken off since the Illinois State loss. “I think at that point in time, it was the basket-ball gods looking out for us, opening our eyes. We went back and watched film and 1 through 16, nobody played a good game. Every day since then, we’ve just pushed ourselves to be the best we can.”

Muller alluded to the Shockers maybe even being better than the one that started 35-0 before the Kentucky loss. Crazy?

“You know, this team’s comparable,” Marshall said. “It really is.”

And the Shockers are going to the NCAA Tournament. Even Palm has them in his bracket now.

WICHITA STATE SOARD INTO NCAA TOURNAMENT BY RIPPING ILLINOIS STATE IN MVC FINALBy Stu Durando, St. Louis Post-DispatchMarch 5, 2017

There was little doubt surrounding Wichita State’s status as an NCAA Tournament team before the Shockers took the court Sunday.

They were the No. 2 seed for the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, but a na-tional ranking and utter dominance over six weeks had lifted them back into the national spotlight as a team that can do postseason damage.

A 71-51 win over Illinois State in the MVC tourney championship game did little to alter that view. But Illinois State coach Dan Muller was willing to take his assess-ment to a different level as he considered Wichita State’s run to the Final Four and undefeated regular season in consecutive years.

“They’ve been stockpiling talent for years. We knew they had guys waiting in the wings,” he said. “This is clearly the best offensive team they’ve had and might be the best defensive team. This might be the best team they’ve had. They are really, really, really good.”

The 21st-ranked Shockers (30-4) blew through the tournament with double-digit wins and extended their winning streak to 15 games in clinching the MVC’s auto-matic NCAA tourney bid. That leaves the Redbirds (27-6) to sit for seven days and ponder their position, having made their NCAA status precarious.

Wichita State led from start to finish, displaying the versatility of its scoring and the tenacious nature of a defense that held Illinois State to 29.3 percent shooting.

Kansas transfer and sharpshooter Conner Frankamp scored 19 points and was named the tournament’s most outstanding player, which a day earlier looked like it could go to teammate Shaquille Morris.

The Shockers had six players score in double figures in three games at Scottrade, no opponent shot better than 38 percent and they were plus-24 on the boards.

“We had an undefeated team (in the regular season) and a team that went to the Final Four. This team’s comparable,” coach Gregg Marshall said. “It really is.”

Morris, who was part of those early teams, agreed.

“I think this is an even better scoring team than the 35-0 team,” he said. “This team is real special with all the ways we can score the ball, and when we have that and make defense our anchor we can be unstoppable.”

Frankamp set the tone early by sinking a 3-pointer two minutes into the game, adding another a few minutes later and then scoring to make it 18-11. Illinois State was chasing the Shockers all the way.

It didn’t help that the Redbirds ran into foul trouble early and kept on fouling, al-lowing Wichita State to make 26 of 37 free throws. Illinois State’s three frontline starters fouled out, and Deontae Hawkins was called for two technical fouls and MiKyle McIntosh for one.

Said Muller: “We picked a bad day to have a bad day.”

The foul situation became so problematic that the Shockers were able to pull away in the second half without making a field goal for nearly eight minutes. In that span they outscored the Redbirds 14-9 with nothing but free throws.

After losing at Illinois State 76-62, Wichita State won the last two meetings by a combined 61 points. Marshall said the turning point came when freshman Landry Shamet became the starting point guard. Rashard Kelly said it was the loss to Il-linois State.

“It was the basketball gods looking out for us, opening our eyes,” he said. “We went back and watched film of that game and realized one through 16, nobody played a good game or up to their potential. It was kind of a wake-up call for us.”

While Wichita State was possibly improving its NCAA seeding, Illinois State offered a poor final look at a team that went 17-1 in the MVC. The selection committee will

have to decide if there is enough on a résumé that includes a 2-4 record against top-100 RPI opponents and losses against two teams lower than 100.

In the Redbirds’ favor, they entered Sunday’s game at No. 26 in the RPI but with the 138th rated schedule.

“We’re going to play (in some tournament), we know that,” Muller said. “We’ll have to develop some new goals when we figure out what we’re in. I know there will be hope, but we also know it’s out of our hands.”

FIVE REASONS WHY THIS SHOCKER TEAM MAY BE MORE FUN THAN THE BAKER-VANVLEET YEARSBy Bob Lutz, Wichita EagleMarch 7, 2017

When I wrote in November that the 2016-17 Wichita State basketball team had a chance to be better than the 2015-16 version, guys in white coats approached. I ducked into a stairwell.

Ron Baker. Fred VanVleet.

The Shockers lost them from last year’s team, which won another Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championship, squeaked into the NCAA Tournament and made a run at another Sweet 16 before falling short.

Most programs the size of Wichita State never attract players with the abilities of Baker and VanVleet. And when they lose those kind of players, at the same time no less, they circle the drain.

Wichita State is different. The Shockers have Gregg Marshall, for starters. And if there’s a more reliable winner in college basketball who isn’t working at a blue-blood program, I don’t know who it would be other than Gonzaga’s Mark Few.

This season’s team has come together. There were hiccups in November and the Shockers were embarrassed by Oklahoma State at Intrust Bank Arena in December. But you don’t sneeze at 30-4, even in a conference as weak as the Valley.

That’s not Wichita State’s fault, by the way. You play in the conference that brung you, or something like that. And the way the Shockers breezed through the Valley tournament the past weekend in St. Louis makes me wonder, again, how anyone could ever even imagine the NCAA Tournament without them. Or without Marshall.

This particular Wichita State team has been more fun than anyone could have imag-ined. The Shockers have dominated most of their opponents and will go down as one of the best shooting teams in WSU history.

Landry Shamet and Conner Frankamp, the guards who replaced Ron and Fred, have developed into one of the best duos WSU has had, especially over the past month.

Shamet started the season as WSU’s shooting guard and Frankamp played the point. Then junior Daishon Smith replaced Frankamp. Then freshman Austin Reaves started getting more minutes.

Finally, though, it was Shamet’s move to the point and Frankamp’s move to play off the ball that really sparked this team.

In Wichita State’s past 12 games, Shamet is shooting 53.7 overall and 54.5 percent from the three-point line. Frankamp has been even better. During the Shockers’ 15-game winning streak he’s shooting 57.9 percent overall and 55.3 percent from the three-point line.

Not to mention Shaq Morris’s development as a really good post player and re-bounder. Or Zach Brown’s continued refinement as the team’s best lock-down de-fender. Or Rashard Kelly’s evolution in becoming the Evan Wessel/Graham Hatch dirtiest working son of a gun on the team.

Darral Willis can be an effective low-post scorer with his sneaky left-handed moves. Rauno Nurger has refined his post moves, too.

When Kelly talked about this season’s team recently, he mentioned that with Baker and VanVleet around there was a little bit of a subservient attitude among the rest of the Shockers, whom he compared to background dancers.

There is no hesitation this season. The Shockers, collectively and individually, have come into their own.

There are several reasons for this team’s growing popularity, that rivals even the Ron and Fred years.

1. All of the key players will be returning next season. How good will Shamet and Frankamp be next season? The imagination runs wild. What about Morris and the others? Sophomore forward Markis McDuffie is already an All-Valley player and it feels like he’s just figuring out how good he can be. McDuffie has a knack for being in the middle of everything and if he can refine his ballhandling we’re talking about a potential All-America candidate. In fact, even in the excitement of this postseason it’s difficult for Shocker fans not to want to peek ahead to next season.

2. There is a growing sentiment, although nothing even close to official, that the Shockers’ days in the Valley could be coming to an end soon. I think that generally has folks in a good mood, too. Wichita State clearly has outgrown its conference in resources and success, and while football remains part of the discussion, I think the conference move has become the most critical move for WSU.

3. The Shockers’ success is always just a little sweeter when a local player is involved, right? Frankamp set the City League career scoring record at North and survived a difficult season at Kansas and some trying times at Wichita State before becom-ing the player so many thought he could be. There was tremendous pressure on Frankamp to perform and it was getting to him. But he seems to be past that now and his 9.2 points are the most by a Wichita player for the Shockers since Collegiate’s Maurice Evans averaged 22.6 in 1998-99.

4. Wichita State is scoring more points, 82 per game, than it has in 34 years. And it’s doing so without anyone averaging more than 11.8 points (McDuffie). This could become only the 10th team in Shocker history to average 80 or more points and the defense is still almost as strong as it has ever been, although the Shockers’ three-year streak of holding opponents below 60 points per game will end.

5. Basketball fun is becoming habitual. The Shockers are in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth year in a row after making eight total appearances before 2011-12. Wichita State has won 25, 29, 27, 30, 35, 30, 25 and now 30 games the past eight seasons. Fans never experienced anything like this before. This is not a ride anyone wants to jump off. And so far, Marshall and his players have kept it going, an endless carousel during an all-day trip to an amusement park.

WICHITA STATE COACH PULLING FOR TOURNEY VOLUNTEERBy Kirk Wessler, Peoria Journal StarMarch 10, 2017

PEORIA — The basketball at the state tournament stands on its own. You could play the games on a playground at Carver Center, and the competition and quality of play would be every bit as intense as at Carver Arena.

But the spectacle of the IHSA boys state basketball tournament experience would not be the same without a legion of volunteers. One veteran among them is missing this weekend, as he has been from Bradley games since November.

Andy Loyd was a junior in high school when he started working for Glen Mc-Cullough's event-support crew at Bradley games, back when the Braves still played in Robertson Field House. That was 1977. When the Braves moved to the new down-town Peoria Civic Center arena in 1982, McCullough's men and women went, too.

They make sure everything is managed well, from the pass gates to the hospitality for the visiting teams to the game officials, attending to dozens or maybe hundreds of little details that must be done right for everyone — including the fans — to have a first-class experience. The BU crew's reputation is so good that when the Missouri Valley Conference decided to plant its annual tournament in St. Louis, the league invited the Peorians to run their backstage ops. As a result, they also work NCAA tournament games whenever the first or second weekends are played in St. Louis.

Andy Loyd has worked them all for 40 years.

And then cancer knocked him out shortly after the current season began in No-vember. It has been a tough winter. Friends say he has lost 50 pounds. His voice has become a rasp. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments haven't worked as hoped, and this month, Loyd went up to Loyola University Medical Center in search of help.

Last weekend, during the MVC tournament in St. Louis, a friend from one of the teams asked about him and was told Loyd was having a tough time. So, when all of the preparation work for his game was done and his team was warming up on the court, Wichita State coach Greg Marshall sat in his locker room and fired off a text to Andy Loyd.

"Thinking about you. Take care of yourself. God bless you. Keep fighting."

Loyd was shocked. Not that Marshall would send him a text. After all, they've be-come quite friendly in the 10 years Marshall has been coaching the Shockers.

On Marshall's first trip to Peoria, early in 2008, he found Loyd and McCullough and some other crew members watching an NFL playoff game on TV. He sat down and joined them; watched and talked with them for an hour before returning to his team. It's now part of the ritual.

"I really enjoy coming to Peoria," Marshall says. "I've developed friendships with those guys back in the hallway. They're so nice; very accommodating and welcom-ing. All those guys are great guys. It's the stop in the Valley I look forward to the most. And because they work the tournament, I get to see them twice a year."

But Loyd, whose main responsibility is handling the visitors at Carver Arena, was missing this year. Marshall noticed and decided Loyd could use some encourage-ment.

What caught Loyd off guard was the timing.

"Twenty minutes before the game," Loyd says, with a touch of wonder. Even when they got together pregame in Peoria, Marshall would excuse himself by that time. Coaches by then tend to be jumbles of nerves, tense, focused on trying to control what soon will be out of their control.

Loyd texted back, and the stream went on for a few minutes.

"I know people look at him and think he's a jerk," Loyd says of Marshall, whose ballistic side is well known in college basketball. "But I've gotten to know how nice a guy he is. He really is a great guy. Fans all know the crazy guy on the floor, and

that sometimes he gets crazy in the press conference. But that's just part of his job."

As Marshall explains, there's more to his job than what you see.

"I know I'm just an average person who has been put in a very special place," Mar-shall says. "God put me in this position. Andy is a good guy, and I want good guys to have long, productive, happy lives. I want him to beat this, and if I can help him or anybody else feel better, even briefly, I want to do it."

Four years ago, when Marshall coached Wichita State back into the national spot-light with a run to the Final Four, he and the Shockers adopted a mantra that con-tinues to serve them well, overcoming adversity.

"Play angry," they said.

Marshall offers a slightly modified version of that for Andy Loyd:

"Heal angry."

The volunteers at the state tournament add a giant ditto mark to that.

WICHITA STATE SHOCKERS TAKE SEEDING SLIGHT INTO NCAA TOURNAMENTThe Shockers (30-4) are used to getting a raw deal in MarchBy Dave Skretta, The Associated PressMarch 14, 2017

WICHITA, Kan. — A couple of years ago, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall trot-ted out the motto “Play Angry” to encourage and inspire his perpetually overlooked and undervalued team.

Might be time to resurrect it.

The Shockers were given the No. 10 seed in the South Region, which just might trump anybody getting left out as the biggest snub of the NCAA Tournament. Wich-ita State hasn’t lost since January and twice avenged that defeat, rolled through the Missouri Valley Tournament, and just about every advanced metric puts the Shock-ers among the best teams in the country.

The selection committee disagreed, putting the Shockers in a first-round game against seventh-seeded Dayton. The winner will likely face No. 2 seed Kentucky in the next round.

“I’m just glad they didn’t forget about,” Marshall said with only mild sarcasm. “I was starting to think they might forget about us and not put us in at all.”

The Shockers (30-4) are used to getting a raw deal in March.

They were a ninth seed four years ago when they rode the chip on their shoulder all the way to the school’s first Final Four in nearly five decades. They gave even-tual national champion Louisville all it could handle, too, before falling 72-68. The following year, they became the first team since UNLV in 1991 to enter the dance unbeaten, only to face red-hot and under-seeded Kentucky in the second round. The eighth-seeded Wildcats won a nail-biter before advancing to the national title game.

Wichita State was the seventh seed the following year and promptly bumped Indi-ana and No. 2 seed Kansas from the field. Last year, the Shockers were relegated to a play-in game. They won, of course, and beat sixth-seeded Arizona before the grind of three games in three days caught up to them.

In other words, the selection committee has rarely been kind to Wichita State.

“It’s kind of par for the course,” said the Shockers’ Landry Shamet, adding that low expectations have followed this team all year following the graduation of stars Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet.

“This whole year we’re supposed to have fallen off. The downfall of Wichita State. Armageddon, basically,” Shamet said. “Everybody here already has that chip. That’s the unique thing about these guys. Coach recruits those kinds of guys with that, and enhances that vibe when they get here.”

As for the No. 10 seed?

“We thought we were higher than that,” Shamet said, “so I guess that will add to that.”

It’s not just that Wichita State was given a low seed, Shamet said. It’s that the Shock-ers were also given a low seed in what is perhaps the toughest of the four regions.

North Carolina’s strong finish earned it the No. 1 seed in the South, while the Wildcats and their bevy of NBA prospects top the bottom half of the bracket. Third-seeded UCLA has potential No. 1 draft pick Lonzo Ball and March darling Butler is the No. 4 seed.

There is never an easy path to the Final Four, but that road is especially brutal.

“So many crazy things happen to a bracket,” Marshall said. “I remember the year we were a one-seed, our bracket had Kentucky and then we had Louisville, Michigan and Duke on our side. Now you’ve got North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA. I think they said there’s 24 combined national championships between those three. If we win this year, that’ll be 25.

“If we have to go through them,” he added, “so be it.”

Asked to defend the seed, NCAA Tournament selection committee chairman Mark Hollis pointed out the Shockers only have one win against anybody else in the field: Summit League champ South Dakota State.

That isn’t entirely their fault, though.

While mid-major powers such as Gonzaga have been able to schedule games against perennial powers, the Shockers have struggled to do likewise. Those big-name schools still think losing to the Shockers constitutes a bad loss, and many aren’t willing to take that chance. The Valley was also down this year with Illinois State getting left out of the dance.

Wichita State did squander two chances to earn a marquee win in the Battle 4 At-lantis, losing close games to Michigan State and Louisville. But those were played in November, and the Shockers are a far different team than they were four months ago.

“We’re going to be ready,” the Shockers’ Markis McDuffie said. “We’re very excited to play against high-major teams. You don’t always get many chances at that. I feel like all year, we’ve been preparing ourselves for this moment and I think now that time is here.”

Mar. 15, 2012 | Portland, Ore. | Rose Garden[12] VCU ............................................. 34 28 - 62[5] Wichita State ................................. 25 34 - 59

The MVC Champion Shockers - 27-5 coming into the tournament and ranked 18th nationally - had the fire-power to make a deep NCAA run but instead joined a long list of No. 5 seeds victimized by No. 12 in the open-ing round... WSU trailed a VCU team that 12 months earlier had played in the Final Four by as many as 13 points in the second half. The Shockers cut the margin to two at the 2:30 mark on a three-pointer from Toure’ Murry, but VCU answered with five-straight. Senior cen-ter Garrett Stutz had a three-point opportunity at the buzzer that would have forced overtime, but he couldn’t connect... Joe Ragland led the Shockers with 15 points. Hall and Murry scored 10 points each. Hall added eight rebounds.

The Shockers played six minutes of nearly perfect basketball to take out No. 1 overall seed Gonzaga. After making just 2-of-20 threes against Pitt, WSU connected on a season-high 14 treys against the Bulldogs, including five-in-a-row to finish out the game. That late flurry helped the Shockers overcome a seven-point Bulldog lead with six minutes remaining to win 76-70. Ron Baker and Cleanthony Early scored 16 points each to lead the charge.

The Shockers rolled to a 14-2 lead out of the gate and were never threatened.

The Shockers' first trip to the Final Four since 1965 ig-nited the fan base and made WSU a national darling.

Despite 24 points and 10 rebounds from Early, WSU couldn’t hold off a late charge from the Cardinals, who escaped with a 72-68 win and went on to claim the national title.

In a game that Sports Illustrated would later bill as its “Game of the Year” for 2014, eventual National Runner-Up Kentucky spoiled WSU’s undefeated season… Down two points with the ball and only 3.2 seconds remaining, VanVleet’s buzzer-beating three-point attempt bounced off the rim... The NBA-bound Early led the Shockers with 31 points, and Ron Baker added 20.

Mar. 20, 2015 | Omaha, Neb. | CenturyLink Center[10] Indiana ........................................ 39 37 - 76[7] Wichita State .............................. 36 45 - 81

Though ice cold from three (2-of-13), WSU still piled up 81 points, thanks to Fred VanVleet's big day. The junior point guard scored a game-high 27 to win a head-to-head point guard battle with former AAU circuit rival Yogi Ferrell (24 points) by getting to the rim repeatedly... When he wasn't converting tough layups, he and Ron Baker were doing damage at the foul line. Both went 9-of-10 from the stripe... The Shockers hit 29 total free throws to 17 for Indiana... Zach Brown set career-highs across the board with 11 points and 8 rebounds...

Mar. 22, 2015 | Omaha, Neb. | CenturyLink Center[7] Wichita State .............................. 29 49 - 78[2] Kansas ........................................... 26 39 - 65

Tekele Cotton scored 19 points to lead five Shockers in double figures, and No. 7 seed Wichita State made the most of a long-awaited game with its in-state rival... Fred VanVleet added 17 points, and Evan Wessel and Ron Baker scored 12-apiece for the Shockers, who advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the second time in three seasons... In the first meeting of the programs since 1993, Wessel -- a native Kansan -- was an unlikely, yet perfect hero. Wessel drilled a career-high four three-pointers on six attempts after taking just three shots in 36 scoreless minutes in the first round against Indiana. He also added nine rebounds... Seldom-used center Bush Wamukota played a season-high 13 minutes and provided valuable interior defense as the Shockers weathered foul trouble... Ice cold from three against Indiana (2-of-13), WSU found its stroke against KU, going 10-for-20 from deep. The Shockers opened the second half with a 12-2 run to take command and stayed in front by shooting 59% down the stretch.

Despite big performances from VanVleet (25 points) and Darius Carter (22), WSU was done in by a slow start against third-seeded Notre Dame. Though the Shockers eventually recovered from an 18-5 deficit to take a second-half lead, Notre Dame shot a blistering 75 percent over the final 20 minutes to regain control...VanVleet led all scorers with 25 points to go with six rebounds, three assists, two steals...

WSU stormed back from a 21-point deficit to take the lead before running out of steam...

He went 6-for-6 and scored 16 of his game-high 28 points in the first half... In their final game as Shockers, Ron Baker scored 11 points to go with 12 from Fred VanVleet... VanVleet finished with four steals to move into first place on WSU's career list (225)... Shaquille Morris tallied 12 points, six rebounds and a pair of steals... Miami led 27-6 at the 8:28 mark of the first half, keyed by Rodriguez's shooting along with uncharacteristically sloppy play from the Shockers, who missed 11 of their first 12 shots...WSU pulled to within 32-19 at halftime and used a 22-4 second-half run to get back into the game. Morris' steal pulled WSU to within a basket. Baker hit a triple with 10:25 to go to put the Shockers in front by a point... WSU's 43-42 lead was shortlived. Miami scored the next six points... After a Baker layup pulled the Shockers back within two (55-53) with 2:43 left, Rodriguez answered with a tough layup and a three-pointer to extend the Hurricane lead to seven with 1:14 to play...
