WICHITA, Kan.? The Wichita State men's basketball team used a 12-0 run to open the second half and erase a seven-point halftime deficit en route to a 64-58 win over Illinois State (16-3, 5-3) Wednesday night inside Charles Koch Arena.

Toure' Murry paced the Shockers (8-11, 2-6) with 16 points while Ramon Clemente and Aaron Ellis posted season-highs each finishing with 14 points.

Murry converted his second steal in as many minutes into a lay up, putting the game out of reach for the Redbirds, 60-51. A long three from Lloyd Phillips would pull the Redbirds closer, but a Hatch free-throw provided the final nail in the coffin and gave WSU its second-straight win.
