WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Shaquille Morris had 12 points to lead No. 22 Wichita State past Loyola of Chicago 80-54 on Wednesday night.
Wichita State (15-5, 9-0 Missouri Valley) had seven players score at least eight points, including Rashard Kelly with 11. Fred VanVleet had eight points and eight assists.
Montel James and Earl Peterson each scored 11 for Loyola (9-12, 2-7).
After closing within 13 at halftime, Loyola maintained some momentum to start the second half. The Ramblers made five of their first six shots, including 3-pointers from Milton Doyle and Ben Richardson. But that only helped trim Wichita State’s lead to 47-36 with 14:03 to play.
The Shockers then methodically put the game away, holding the Ramblers to two points over the next 5 1/2 minutes.
