Shocker Radio Postgame: Marshall | Willis Jr.

WICHITA, Kan. – Freshman standout Trae Young scored a game-high 29 points, and No. rv/24 Oklahoma handed No. 3/3 Wichita State just its sixth home loss in the last seven seasons, 91-83, Saturday afternoon at INTRUST Bank Arena.
 
Darral Willis Jr. led the way for WSU (8-2) with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Landry Shamet (17), Conner Frankamp (14) and Shaquille Morris (10) joined him in double-figures.
 
Young scored 21 of his 29 points in the first to help OU (8-1) build a 15-point halftime lead. He finished 9-of-22 from the field and dished out 10 assists.
 
WSU lost at home for the first time in almost a year, snapping a 14-game streak in Wichita. The Shockers have won 23-in-a-row at Charles Koch Arena, but have now dropped back-to-back at downtown INTRUST Bank Arena.
 
OU salvaged a split in the home-and-home series, avenging a loss to the Shockers in Oklahoma City last December.
 
It was just the seventh non-conference setback for the Shockers in Wichita under Gregg Marshall, sinking their mark to 74-7.

The teams finished even on the boards at 43-each. WSU each of its last 14 opponents going back to last season and entered the day as the national leader in rebounding margin.
 
OU built its lead to 18 with 7:15 to go in the second half but went scoreless over the next six minutes. The Sooners closed the game with seven-consecutive misses from the field.
 
The Shockers pulled within six points, 84-78, on Frankamp's three-pointer with 40 seconds to go but could get no closer.

Notes:
*Young broke the arena's assists record (10) but fell a point short of its scoring mark, finishing with 29.
*Willis became the first play with multiple 20-point games at INTRUST Bank Arena. In 2016, he put up 24 points and a career-high 13 rebounds against Oklahoma State.
*A rough shooting night against Oklahoma ended a school-record tying streak of four-consecutive games with double-digit three-pointers. Landry Shamet and Conner Frankamp were a combined 25-of-48 during the streak but finished just 2-of-11 against OU. Overall, the Shockers were 6-of-24 from beyond the arc (.250) -- their worst percentage since a 6-of-25 (.240) effort against Cal in the Maui Invitational.
*Frankamp extended his streak on consecutive games with a three-pointer to 32 when he connected with 40 seconds to play in the second half. It also moved him into a tie for 11th on WSU's career triples list (130) with Matt Braeuer and Rob Kampman. The senior needs just five more to crack the top-10.
