Bad end for Redbirds
Illinois State earned three technical fouls, two by Deontae Hawkins and one by McIntosh.
Hawkins received his first as part of a double-technical for jawing with Wichita State’s Darral Willis. He got his second for mouthing off to official Mike Stuart after Hawkins committed his fifth foul. That meant an ejection.
The Shockers made 3 of 4 foul shots and Markis McDuffie added a three-pointer for a six-point possession and 67-44 lead.
Here we go
WSU fans are used to speculation about Marshall’s future jobs. On Sunday, he was asked about the Missouri job that opened during the game with the dismissal of Kim Anderson. It’s a job Marshall looked at when Anderson was hired in 2014.
Marshall gave his usual answer, expressing his affection for his current job and a willingness to listen to other offers.
“I’m flattered,” he said. “I don’t have a crystal ball. I could easily retire at Wichita State, if they will have me. But we don’t stick our head in the sand, either. That’s just the way we’ve always done it.”
Frankamp joins club
The list of great MVC Tournament performances for the Shockers remains short, but growing.
Guard Conner Frankamp moves toward the top of the list with his Most Outstanding Player honor, joining Tekele Cotton with his in 2014.
Frankamp made 3 of 6 three-pointers and his presence influenced everything Illinois State did by spreading out defenders. Frankamp made 4 of 6 threes in WSU’s 86-45 meeting on Feb. 4.
“We knew from the scouting report we had to extend our arms because he can shoot the ball pretty deep,” Lee said.
Worth noting
Joining Frankamp on the all-tournament team was Shamet, Lee, Missouri State’s Alize Johnson and Evansville’s Jaylon Brown. … Sunday’s game drew a crowd of 11,744, about split between the two schools. That attendance ranks No. 8 in 27 tournaments in St. Louis.
