Despite adding eight new scholarship players to the mix, the 2014-15 campaign was business as usual. Marshall and the Shockers (30-5, 17-1 MVC) never dipped below 16th in the national polls and closed out their third MVC title in the past four years.

As a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament, the Shockers landed in a loaded Midwest Region, featuring four of the 10 winning programs in NCAA history. WSU took down two of them in the first weekend, dispatching 10-seed Indiana (81-76) and second-seeded Kansas (78-65) to advance to the Sweet 16 for the second time in three seasons.

NBA scouts are making their way back to Wichita to see Shamet, who is listed at 6-4 but is actually an inch taller. Because of that talent and potential, Marshall still wonders whether he should have burned the redshirt in 2016. Will Shamet stick around for five years, as Baker did?

“That’s the $64,000 question. If he plays like [he did] to- night, probably,” Marshall says after he watched Shamet put up an unspectacular 10 points, one assist and one turnover in 20 minutes against College of Charleston.

Shamet did not look to be playing aggressively; he seemed hesitant to push himself. He looked more like his old self last week at the Maui Invitational, where he averaged 17.3 points over three games.

He’s tried not to rush the process. He is practicing but sits when he does not feel right. “[Marshall] knows I’m not trying to cut corners,” he says. “He understands my in- tegrity. All the coaches know. I’m not a guy who is going to cut corners. I’m trying to get my body back to doing things it was doing in February and March.”

Shamet is also trying to get the Shockers back to where they were in March, but this time with a better seed. Moving to the deeper and more competitive AAC this season should help as long as Shamet is healthy and strong. “We need him desperately to play well to beat really, really good teams and have a good year,” Marshall

True, the record books are filled with undefeated De- cember wonders who were distant memories come March. WSU doesn’t exactly fit that profile.

In the process of recording wins not only against Baylor but also over California and Marquette (both in Maui), Wichita State has held its opponents to an overall 2-point shooting figure of just 41 percent. And, again, that’s without a member of last season’s starting front court having played one minute. Good luck taking it to the rim against the likes of Shaquille Morris, Darral Wil- lis and Rashard Kelly.

On offense, Landry Shamet is shooting a Buddy Hield- like 54 percent on his 3s this season, and keep in mind he’s supposed to be the creating point guard alongside the real sharpshooter, Conner Frankamp. Speaking of Frankamp, he was actually in something of a slump from the perimeter until he broke loose to hit five shots from beyond the arc against Baylor. This team can beat you in a number of ways.

If there’s a concern for Marshall (and what coach doesn’t like to find something to worry him?), it could be turn- overs -- or, more specifically, a turnover disparity. While Wichita State gives the ball away at an average rate (18 percent of the time), that frequency is higher than what opponents have shown (16). That’s not necessarily the best precursor in December.

For a week in November, he came home to a dark apart- ment. The lights were out because he had not paid his electric bill. That money, which typically comes from the stipend he receives as a scholarship athlete, had gone to keep the power on at his mom’s apartment. “As long as my mom’s got the AC blowing at her house, we’re good,” he says.

Morris had a way to get his lights back on, and it was pretty simple. He waited a few days, but he finally made the call. “Momma,” he said when Melody Blumenthal answered the phone. “My electricity is cut off.”

“That’s the only time he’s ever called and asked for any- thing,” Melody says.

Joel Blumenthal is proud of his brother. But he still gets frustrated with him when he sees his body language isn’t right or he’s not going as hard as he can. Joel tells Shaq that if he had his body, he’d be in the NBA. “I try to work as hard as I can,” Joel says. “My career has not gone the way I’ve envisioned it. He sees me work, and I don’t necessarily get the reward. He’s asked me before, and he used to wonder why? What’s the point? Why do you keep going so hard? Because I know eventually it’ll pay off. He’s so gifted he could do whatever he wants. He hasn’t always had to put in the work.”

VanVleet constantly feeds Morris encouragement with text messages and phone calls. “That guy there, he is a real motivational tool,” Morris says.

“He’s a great teammate,” VanVleet says of Morris. “He’s funny. That’s the worst part about it. You’ve got this guy you want to hate so bad, and he’s so funny and he can light up a room. He’s got this great big personality. He’s a great teammate, and he’s a hell of a basketball player, so other than him not being as good as he can be, he’s everything you’d want out of a big man. He’s one of the smartest bigs I’ve played with. His problem is he’s too smart.”

VanVleet has always known which buttons to push, and the message to Morris this year has been to think about his mom. “Put that up on the wall,” he says. “You should be able to do that for her.”

Just ask Villanova, which got its legs taken out by a hot- shooting Butler team three weeks ago. Or Duke, which lost by double digits to a middle-of-the-pack N.C. State team a week later. Or Michigan State and Arizona -- the latter lost to this same SMU team earlier in the season. The list goes on ... especially this season. In a college basketball season void of dominant juggernauts, the upset has become as common as a cold. The cure is to keep on playing.

The Shockers’ defense had few, if any, answers for Shake Milton. SMU’s junior guard played all 40 minutes and scored a game-high 33 points. He hit five of the six 3-point shots he attempted. The range he showed likely gave Wichita State’s guards flashbacks to their loss to Trae Young and Oklahoma earlier in the season. SMU coach Tim Jankovich could barely believe it himself.

“Well, we draw up the one play that he shot about four times from about 45 feet,” Jankovich said in a postgame interview with ESPN’s play-by-play crew. “That’s one thing that was pretty amazing. When you see a guy do that what you’re seeing is his heart ... How many guys have played better this year?”

Marshall’s team has lost three games this season. Two of them came against red-hot shooters (the Mustangs shot 63 percent from the field and made half of their 3-point attempts Wednesday night) and the third was a tooth-and-nail battle against a Notre Dame team that was much stronger in late November before injuries ravaged their lineup. The Shockers recovered quickly the first two times.

86 2017-18 WICHITA STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS CLIPPINGS AN UNFAMILIAR FEELING FOR MANY SHOCKER FANS -- ADVERSITY The Wichita Eagle | Kirk Seminoff | Feb. 2, 2018

Shocker Country is stirring this weekend. Wichita.

Wichita State’s men’s basketball team is going through But — deep breath — all of that is OK. There were a rough patch — a highly relative rough patch given its bound to be some first-year AAC bumps, and this team 17-5 record and No. 16 national ranking. has traditionally turned on the magic come NCAA time.

But there have been two road losses for the nation’s best A four-month college basketball season is a journey, road team. Struggles to start games well and to finish and the new sights on this AAC path are bound to be off opponents in the final minutes. Shooting slumps for worth it by the end. three-point dependables Conner Frankamp and Landry Shamet. A rare conference home loss.

All that adds up to adversity for a Shocker fan base that hasn’t dealt with much in recent years.

Social media lit up with fan frustration after Thursday’s 81-79 overtime loss at Temple, a 12-10 team that trailed WSU 58-48 with 14 1/2 minutes to play. The postgame call-in show got a little heated. Many fans probably woke up Friday in a bad mood.

What makes it worse is there’s no game this weekend. Fans must stew until Tuesday night’s game at Memphis.

Even with occasional struggles in past years, Wichita State usually got out of it quickly and at the expense of an inferior Missouri Valley Conference opponent. Home games last season were often blowouts in the first 10 minutes — the average score was 89-59.

So this is what Shocker Country asked for after WSU’s decade of success under Gregg Marshall. Over seven seasons, WSU experienced a Final Four, 10 NCAA Tour- nament wins and a 2011 NIT title (a big deal to the program back then). That had the Shockers looking for more challenges than the Missouri Valley could provide.

Landing in the American Athletic Conference creates challenges. Teams in the upper part of the standings are stronger than Missouri Valley teams, and WSU has the disadvantage of learning about 11 new opponents when WSU’s opponents learn about one.

Even with recent losses, there are the calm fans who re- fuse to worry too much. It’s a long season. A team once in the top five is getting every opponent’s best shot. This was bound to happen in the first season of a new conference.

So it’s time to readjust expectations. Winning an AAC title on the first try is going to take a Herculean effort, plus help from others in the conference, to catch No. 8 Cincinnati. (Though if WSU is within a game when Cincy visits in the last regular-season game, Koch Arena is go- ing to need vents to prevent the top popping off.)

A strong, no-unexpected losses February will be needed to get WSU back in the running for a top-four NCAA Tournament seed and possibly an opening weekend in Dallas, the only easy first-weekend tournament drive to

The commissioner thinks this year’s bracket shows a sign of respect for WSU and the AAC.

“We’ve felt like over the years not only have we been underseeded, but there were a few teams that should have been in the field and weren’t,” Aresco said.

That’s a welcome change for WSU, which won 30 games last season and was a No. 10 seed.

“I was kind of surprised,” WSU guard Landry Shamet said of the No. 4 seed. “I was thinking we would maybe get a five or a six, just based on past history we’ve had where we’ve been projected to be higher and then we kind of got low-balled.”

WSU played four games against top-20 teams in Cincinnati (6) and Houston (16), which allowed it to piece together one of its most impressive postseason resumes under Marshall during its seven-year streak of playing in the NCAA Tourna- ment.
