Bradley’s fresh and young rotation couldn’t meet Wichita State’s rotation of three-point shooting on Sunday.

WSU started 2017 with 100 points — the second time Gregg Marshall’s rotation has hung triple-digits on an opponent this season. The last time WSU scored 100 against a MVC team was in 1988.

“Today we looked like we’ve come a ways, but tomorrow is a new day. I’m not trying to wish anything bad on us,” Marshall said. “I just want to have a great 2017.

“Today was a good start.”

The Shockers ran to an early 10-0 lead three minutes into the game after back-to-back threes from sophomore forward Markis McDuffie and a pair of jumpers from junior forward Darral Willis, Jr.

In the early going, guards Conner Frankamp, Austin Reaves and Landry Shamet would also catch fire from deep. Junior forward Zach Brown also caught in on the three-point action, with his own.

WSU eclipsed 50 points in the first half after Shamet put in a put-back two-point shot with half a second left on the game clock. Officials would call a foul sending Shamet to the line for a chance to complete an and-one three-point play.

“We’ve got six guys who scored nine points or more,” Marshall said. “Generally, when we shared it the way we did today, something good happened.”

Shamet swished the free throw, and WSU entered the half up 51-29.

Bradley shot 45 percent from the floor in the first half, but lost the turnover battle with 16 turnovers, to WSU’s 6, after 20 minutes.

In the second half, Reaves exploited an area the Braves left off the scouting report: the three-point line.

Reaves further challenged the Braves by sinking four back-to-back three-pointers, pushing the Shockers up 30 points.

Junior guard Daishon Smith also challenged the opening, sinking back-to-back threes of his own.

The Shockers would sink 13 three-pointers, for 45 percent from deep and 52 percent from the field.

WSU has improved their scoring from a year ago, scoring 80 or more points on nine outings — tying last seasons total record.

“I think that everybody on the team, everybody who comes off the bench, is able to pick it up and not let the game flow go down, Junior forward Rauno Nurger said.

The Shockers have lost one game under Gregg Marshall while scoring more than 80 points. They now hold a 68-1 record in this statistic.

Shamet had a season-high six assists.

Reaves surpassed his career-high in front of his family, scoring 14 points. Reaves played with tenacity, with former one-on-one opponent, his brother Spencer who plays for the University of Central Missouri watching from the stands.

“My brother told me before the game that he had 18, 8, and 6 last night. That’s not something I usually get, but he just rubs it in all the time,” Austin Reaves said. “It’s just good playing in front of your family anyway, seeing them come to most of the games at least. It’s just fun playing in front of your family.”

Willis tied Shamet for scoring with 15. The Shockers ended with 25 assists; Marshall credits that to the team’s unselfishness.

“They’re definitely unselfish,” Marshall said. “They don’t care who scores, they just want to win the game.

“You can see the depth of our scoring.”
