Wichita State basketball associate head coach Kenton Paulino prepares us for the American Championship. Wichita State is 21-10 and earned the second seed in the American Conference Championship. The tournament begins Wednesday in Birmingham. The Shockers play at 4 p.m., Saturday on ESPN2 in a semifinal game.

We discuss how Dillon Battie stayed locked in when he wasn't playing and how it paid off for the sophomore forward. He tells us why coach Paul Mills is hard on guard Dre Kindell during practices and why that helps Kindell use his energy in a positive way. We also discuss how the Shocker defense is structured to limit three-point shooting, WSU's superb 11 minutes to close out a win over FAU and his favorite March Madness moment.
