(St. Louis, MO) – It was a weird day for the Wichita State basketball program. Early in the morning Shocker fans and program members learned that former Shocker, and current New York Knick Cleanthony Early was shot outside a New York club.
Then WSU played a 1:00 p.m. Thursday afternoon game.
Good news on both fronts. Early, who was robbed and shot in the leg, sustained no permanent damage and is in good spirits. Wichita State then defeated Drake 67-47.
Ron Baker led Wichita State (7-5, 1-0) with 14 points. Fred VanVleet added 13. Drake (5-8, 0-1) shot under 38% as the Shockers’ defense continues to improve as their health improves.
