🏀 Men’s basketball weekend preview
🎾 Women’s tennis releases its 2025 slate
🌾 And much, much more!
🌾 ONE BIG THING
The Shockers are hitting the road for the final time in nonconference play with a trip to the Windy City to take on DePaul on Saturday at noon. The team won its second straight game with a 96-87 win over ETSU on Dec. 7 where they set season highs in points and field goal percentage. Coming into the matchup, WSU has won two straight in the series against DePaul with the most recent win coming back in 2013 when Ron Baker put up a game-high 21 points to secure an 18-point victory.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 The Slate Is Set. Wichita State head women's tennis coach Colin Foster announced his squad's 2025 dual-match slate which begins in a little over a month. The Shockers are slated to face 20 opponents in the regular season with seven of those being power four opponents. Tennis teams in the AAC do not play a set dual-match schedule, but the Shockers are still set to face six of the possible 13 conference opponents in the regular season.
🔼 The Roundhouse Podcast. Shocker men’s basketball’s Corey Washington joins the podcast to talk about the team’s 8-1 record entering Saturday’s game at DePaul. The crew discusses his approach to rebounding and why his outside shooting has improved. Washington also touches on which teammate deserves a bit more credit for the team’s strong start to the season and which teammate dresses almost as well as he does.
