Wichita State Preview Capsule
Oct 31, 2017 - 8:17 AM Wichita State Last season: 31-5, lost in second round of NCAA Tournament Nickname: Shockers Coach: Gregg Marshall Conference: AAC Who's gone: G Daishon Smith, F Zach Bush Who's back: F Markis McDuffie averaged 11.5 points and team-best 5.7 rebounds last season; G Landry Shamet averaged 11.4 points and team-best 3.3 assists; F Darryl Willis and F Shaq Morris both averaged nearly 10 points and 5 rebounds; G Conner Frankamp averaged 8.9 points while shooting 44 percent from 3-point range; Backups returning this season include F Rashard Kelly, F Austin Reaves and G C.J. Keyser. Who's new: C Asbjorn Midtgaard is a 7-foot-1, 265 pound prospect from Denmark; G Rodgerick Brown was a three-star recruit out of Tennessee. The Skinny: The Shockers return almost their entire team intact after going 31-5 last season, making them a trendy pick to not only win the ACC in their debut season but perhaps crash the Final Four. Their success could be based on the health of McDuffie and Shamet, both of whom will miss the start of the season with foot injuries. Shockers coach Gregg Marshall is hopeful they will be back on the floor when league play begins. ___ For more AP college basketball coverage: http://collegebasketball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_Top25No one has shouted yet.
