Wichita State (1-1) vs. Chaminade (3-1)
Lahaina Center; Maui, HI
1 pm CT ESPN2
The Shockers traveled down to Hawii to face UCON in the Maui Invitational yesterday, and they gave the Huskies all they could handle. However, once again, Gregg Marshall was not able to close the game out. Toure Murry gave his best while providing a team high 19 points. That 19 was nothing comared to the 29 second half points scored by UCONN’s Kembe Walker who finished with 31.
The Shockers will now play host school Chaminade, who game Michigan State all they could handle yesterday as well. I may just be thinking out loud here, but it seems to me when you make the trip to Hawaii, you don’t really want to be playing Chaminade. Well, maybe Gregg will be able to close this one out.
