Must See X’s & O’s – Gregg Marshall Wichita State Set Plays by Wes Kosel

Here in this playbook are three must see plays from Wichita State Head Coach Gregg Marshall. These plays came from the win against Southern Illinios earlier in the week. With the 76-55 win over SIU, Marshall became the all-time coaching wins leader at Wichita State. The win also gave the Shockers its 12th straight win and extended the longest active home winning streak to 43 games. Wichita State now sits at 17-5 for the season and 11-0 in Missouri Valley Conference play. The Shockers will take on Illinois State on the road on Saturday evening.
