Old, cold rivals
Bradley is WSU’s second-oldest current Missouri Valley Conference rival, behind Drake.
For years, it was also one of WSU’s most competitive series. No longer.
Bradley hasn’t beaten Wichita State since 2010, which is three coaches ago for the Braves. Sunday’s 34- point margin, tied for its ninth-largest in an MVC game, showed not much has changed.
The 34-point margin is the ninth time in the 14 games the Shockers defeated Bradley by 20 or more points. Five of those wins are by 30 or more.
Bradley leads the series 71-69.
Trophy for Littleton
Before the game, WSU coaches and players presented former Shocker Cleo Littleton with the trophy from the All-College Classic victory over Oklahoma.
After that December win, Marshall dedicated the game to Littleton, the program’s career scoring leader.
Marshall told the team after the game that Littleton, who is black and played from 1951-55, wasn’t allowed to stay in an Oklahoma City hotel when the Shockers played in the city. During Littleton’s career, WSU played at Oklahoma City University four times and in the All-College Tournament in OKC in 1954, when he earned all-tournament honors.
Worth noting
WSU forced 16 first-half turnovers, the most since Alcorn State committed 19 in a 2009 game. Alcorn State ended that game with 28. Bradley committed 23 on Sunday, a season-high forced by WSU and the most by an opponent since Memphis committed 24 early in the 2014-15 season. … Wichita State junior center Shaq Morris played for the first time since Dec. 17. A right thigh contusion sidelined Morris against South Dakota State and Indiana State. He played 13 minutes off the bench and scored five points. … WSU freshman C.J. Keyser played 10 minutes, matching his season high, and scored a season-high six points. Keyser had not played in five of the past six games.
