Great Wheat North: Shockers Battle Carleton

OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada – Zach Brown scored 17 points and Landry Shamet chipped in 13, but a sluggish third quarter doomed Wichita State in a 100-75 setback at six-time defending Canadian national champion Carleton University, Sunday afternoon at the Raven's Nest.
 
Brown hit 4-of-8 shots and also did damage at the foul line (8-for-9) in 29 minutes of action. He scored 11 of his 17 in the first half.
 
Shamet played a game-high 31 minutes and was 5-of-14 from the field.
 
Darral Willis, Jr., Conner Frankamp and Daishon Smith supplied eight points each, and Rauno Nurger finished with a team-best six rebounds.
 
Carleton (2-0 in exhibition play) added another high-profile NCAA team to its list of victims that also includes Baylor (2015), Valparaiso (2015), Syracuse (2014) and Wisconsin (2013).
 
Carleton put the Shockers on their heels with a precision passing and timely hustle plays. Two early fouls put Morris on the bench, and in his absence, the Ravens succeeded in working the ball inside.
 
WSU needed the better part of a quarter to readjust and solve Carleton's press, but some hot shooting from a collection of Shockers helped turned the tide.
 
After trailing 20-9, the Shockers chipped away.
 
Conner Frankamp's four-point play and a tip-in by Eric Hamilton just ahead of the horn sent the teams into the locker room knotted at 47.
 
After shooting better than 50 percent from the field in each of the first two quarters, the Shockers struggled in the second half, hitting just nine of their last 30 (.300).
 
Carleton used a 29-14 third quarter to pull away, and both teams emptied the benches over the final period.
 
WSU dropped to 1-1 on its four-game exhibition tour. The team returns to action Tuesday night with a late 8 p.m. CT tip at McGill University, then wraps up Wednesday against the IndiSports All-Stars (3:30 p.m. CT).
 
Both games will air on KEYN 103.7 FM in Wichita with streaming at GoShockers.com/Listen. The Wednesday contest will be tape delayed until 6 p.m. CT.
