    WICHITA, Kan. — Angela Bucker, a member of the Missouri Valley Conference All-Centennial women's basketball team, three-time All-MVC selection and WSU's all-time leading rebounder, will be inducted into Wichita State University's 2010 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame.
    The induction ceremony is scheduled for halftime of Wichita State's 7:05 p.m., Feb. 6, men's basketball game against Indiana State, while a luncheon is set for noon, Feb. 6, in the Charles Koch Arena Champions Club.
