After the Wichita State men's basketball team had to withdraw from the Crossover Classic due to positive COVID tests, we finally got to see the Shockers (albeit shorthanded) in action as they beat Oral Roberts and fell to Mizzou last week in Koch Arena. The competition continues to be stiff as the team will now face Oklahoma State on Saturday, but the good news is that they should be able to return many of the players that were being held out.

After the Wichita State men's basketball team had to withdraw from the Crossover Classic due to positive COVID tests, we finally got to see the Shockers (albeit shorthanded) in action as they beat Oral Roberts and fell to Mizzou last week in Koch Arena. The competition continues to be stiff as the team will now face Oklahoma State on Saturday, but the good news is that they should be able to return many of the players that were being held out. This week Dustin and Taylor discuss:
- Recap of the Oral Roberts and Missouri games
- How being shorthanded has affected the Shockers
- Unexpected struggles with rebounding
- Shot quality stats say Wichita State would have beaten Missouri more often than not
- Dexter Dennis doing the little things (defense and rebounding)
- The impact a lack of fans is having on the game
- Monzy Jackson jumping onto the scene as a high impact player off the bench
- Where does the production at center come from?
- Who will be available this week that Taylor is most looking forward to seeing?
- Will Josaphat Bilau be recovered enough to provide a spark to Wichita State?
- Is Cade Cunningham the real deal?
- Does the grind stop for Taylor?
