    Shockers Fall Short Against Saint Mary’s in Nail-Biter<\/h2>\n

    Wichita State<\/b> came up short 70-65 against unbeaten Saint Mary’s<\/b> in the Battle 4 Atlantis<\/b> opening round Wednesday night. The Shockers gave the defending tournament favorites everything they could handle. Five WSU players scored in double figures, led by Kenyon Giles<\/b> and TJ Williams<\/b> with 15 points<\/b> each.<\/p>\n

    Giles<\/b> scored 12 of his 15 points<\/b> after halftime, including a burst of eight straight<\/b> that pulled Wichita State within three. Karon Boyd<\/b>, Dre Kindell<\/b>, and Emmanuel Okorafor<\/b> all added 10 points<\/b>. The Shockers nearly stole the game late when Kindell<\/b> hit a deep left-wing three to give WSU a 65-64 advantage with 1:16 remaining.<\/p>\n

    Saint Mary’s (7-0) had averaged nearly 30 points per contest before facing Wichita State. The Gaels’ three-point prowess was limited as Wichita held them to just 2-of-16 from distance. But defensive struggles allowed Saint Mary’s to dominate inside where Andrew McKeever collected five offensive rebounds.<\/p>\n

    Wichita State Defense Held Saint Mary’s to Historic Low<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Team Statistic<\/td>\nWichita State<\/td>\nSaint Mary’s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    Record<\/td>\n4-2<\/td>\n7-0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    Holding Saint Mary’s<\/b> to just 2-of-16 three-pointers was a major achievement for Wichita State<\/b>. The Gaels entered ranked third nationally in three-point percentage. Yet the Shockers’ interior defense allowed offensive rebounds that hurt them. Paulius Murauskas dominated late with key put-backs and free throws.<\/p>\n

    The game was decided by five points, with Saint Mary’s overcoming a late Shocker surge. Joshua Dent<\/b> answered a crucial Kindell<\/b> three with a pull-up in the paint. Murauskas then converted four straight free throws in the final 18 seconds.<\/p>\n

    Colorado State Faces Similar Struggles After Virginia Tech Loss<\/h2>\n

    Colorado State<\/b> (4-2) faces Wichita State fresh off a close loss to Virginia Tech 66-64<\/b> on November 26. The Rams have struggled this week, dropping games to Denver (83-81)<\/b> and Virginia Tech<\/b>. Both losses were decided by just two points.<\/p>\n

    Kyle Jorgensen<\/b> leads Colorado State<\/b> averaging 16.7 points<\/b> on 64.6% shooting<\/b>. The Rams average 85.5 points<\/b> per game scoring more than Wichita State<\/b>‘s 79.0<\/b>. However, Colorado State is allowing 72.2 points<\/b> defensively compared to the Shockers’ 64.0<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    The Rams have been the better three-point shooting team this season. Colorado State allows just 10.0 made threes<\/b> per game while Wichita State makes 7.3<\/b>. This offensive disparity could be key with both teams seeking Thanksgiving wins.<\/p>\n

    Loser’s Bracket Battle Features Matching 4-2 Records<\/h2>\n

    This matchup pits two teams with identical 4-2 records<\/b> against each other in the Battle 4 Atlantis<\/b> loser’s bracket. Wichita State<\/b> is ranked ahead in scoring defense (64.0 vs 72.2) but lags in three-point shooting efficiency.<\/p>\n

    Colorado State<\/b> is listed as the slight favorite with 1.5-point<\/b> spread in their favor. Both teams feature balanced scoring, but the Rams’ season scoring average of 85.5 points<\/b> exceeds Wichita State’s 79.0<\/b>. The Shockers’ defensive strength may yield a low-scoring affair similar to the Saint Mary’s matchup.<\/p>\n

    Head-to-head, both teams struggled in close games this week. Colorado State<\/b> lost narrow contests while Wichita State<\/b> fought Saint Mary’s down to the wire. Thanksgiving games are typically well-attended, but the Nassau venue may benefit Colorado State who is 3-1 at home<\/b> to Wichita State’s 0-1 away<\/b> record.<\/p>\n

    What Can the Shockers Accomplish Against Colorado State on Thanksgiving?<\/h2>\n

    Wichita State<\/b> needs to regroup after the tough Saint Mary’s loss and refocus on the loser’s bracket. Down to five remaining games in the tournament, a win keeps the Shockers alive. The question is whether Giles and Williams can replicate their double-figure scoring against a tougher Colorado State defense.<\/p>\n

    The Shockers shot 45%<\/b> from the field against Saint Mary’s and must replicate that efficiency. Dre Kindell<\/b> delivered the crucial late three against the Gaels, proving the bench can step up. If Boyd<\/b> and Okorafor<\/b> maintain their scoring punch, Wichita State has the offensive firepower.<\/p>\n

    \n“Wichita State (4-2) will now go through the loser’s bracket and face Colorado State on Thanksgiving at 7 p.m. CT on ESPNU.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
