High-flying senior Tekele Cotton repeated as MVC Defensive Player of the Year, carved out a spot in the record books as the all-time winningest Shocker, and became the first to play in four NCAA Tournaments.

WSU once again shined during March Madness, with wins over Indiana and a certain neighbor to the north, to earn a trip to the Sweet 16. And, through it all, Koch Arena was electric, with every home date sold out for the second-straight year, helping the Shockers stretch what is now a school-record winning streak to 32 games.

With first team all-conference performers Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet returning for their senior seasons, 2015-16 can't get here soon enough.
