Wichita State Basketball 2013-2014 (Part 2)

Kentucky would go on to make the national championship that year. Many people were upset at the selection committee for giving Wichita State a tough SEC opponent in the second round who probably should’ve been higher than an 8 seed. If they would’ve gotten any other draw, who knows how far this team could’ve gone. From 3/21/13 to 3/21/14, Wichita State would won 37/38 games they played. In 2015 they would get a 7 seed and upset Kansas in the second round before losing to a tough Notre Dame team led by Pat Connaughton in the sweet 16. In 2016 they would be an 11 seed and make it to the Round of 32. In 2017 they would be a 10 seed and pull another upset before losing to Kentucky once again in another heartbreaker. In 2018, they would have their best seed line since they were a 1 seed, but got upset by Marshall in the first round. After this, Wichita State basketball would never be the same and Gregg Marshall would eventually be let go due to allegations of verbal and physical abuse. They have only made it to one tournament since 2018, which was the year after the Covid year (2021). Wichita State was one of the winningest programs in CBB between 2013-2018, going 177-37.
