Wichita State Advances in NCAA Tournament After Win in “First Four”

Wichita State Shocker
Wichita State Shocker

It’s a long way from the Final Four, but it’s not unprecedented for a team to play in what is called the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, then weave through the NCAA tournament bracket. All the way to the Final Four. Ask Kansas Jayhawks fans. They’ll remember when VCU started in the First Four, then eliminated KU in a regional final. Wichita State played in the First Four last (TUE) night and beat Vanderbilt, 70-50. But there’s very little rest. Tomorrow (THUR) night in Providence, Rhode Island, the Shockers play Arizona. The game is scheduled to start around 8:20 p.m.
