Bennie Boatright leads USC to upset of No. 20 Wichita State

Ron Baker was the game’s high scorer with 25 points.

“We’ve got a long way to go”, Marshall said. The Shockers can rationalize all they want but it still doesn’t account for how poorly they played here, especially offensively. A couple things didn’t go our way. We turned it over close to 20 times [15].

Transfer Arthur Edwards plays at full speed at all times, and is extremely aggressive on offense. “Just didn’t hit our open looks when it came down to it”. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Baker and freshman Markis McDuffie, who had another good performance with 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting, gave the Shockers a 55-52 lead with 8:07 left.

Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said Gray is apparently alert, but tournament officials have not released any more details on his condition. Trevor Cooney added 15 points and also made the all-tournament team.

Missouri State rolls past William Woods • Camyn Boone scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the Missouri State (1-4) men picked up their first win of the season in their home opener, dispatching NAIA school William Woods (4-3), 77-56.

“Bennie had it rolling today”, USC coach Andy Enfield said. And if he was fortunate enough to get a second, it would be for Frankamp to soon start draining three-pointers so that Baker can have room to roam. After Julian Jacobs hit of one of two free throws, Wichita State’s Zach Brown had a potential game-tying shot from near mid-court hit off the rim.

The Hawkeyes are loaded with veteran players and they toyed with Wichita State in the first half, then built their lead to as many 31 points in the second half.

Shannon Hale was the most effective shooter for Alabama in the first half, as he led the Tide with 12 points.

Like turning on a light switch, the Hawkeyes reverted back to their first half/early second half selves to quickly re-up the lead to 25 (in large part to six points by Peter Jok).

“I want to send out a big thank you to Shocker Nation and all of my friends and family for of the love and encouragement that I have received the past few days”, Grady said in a statement, released via social media by WSU on Sunday morning.
