🗣️ "It will be a very challenging schedule for us, but that's what we as a competitive team want. For us to get better and develop, we have to be challenged, and this year's schedule is built to do that." - Darragh Glavin

🔼 Tough Road Test. Shocker men’s basketball went into halftime against DePaul with a five-point lead but was unable to hold on as WSU fell on the road, 91-72, on Saturday night.
