Wichita State Postgame Notes

The Cowboys are just the second non-conference team to beat Wichita State at home since 2008. VCU in 2011 is the only other non-Missouri Valley squad to win in Wichita since 2008. WSU was 60-1 at home in regular season, non-conference games since November of 2008.
Including postseason NIT games, the Shockers had won 42 non-conference home games in a row (the nation's second-longest streak behind Duke).
Wichita State had held 116 straight home opponents under 80 points in regulation.
The Cowboys led by as many as 25 points with 4:47 remaining in the game.
The Cowboys hit 14 3-point shots, which is just one off the school record and tied for the fourth-most ever by a Cowboy team. This gives them double-digit makes for the fifth time this season and for the second straight game.
OSU is the first team to beat Wichita State in INTRUST Bank Arena, which is the downtown home of the Shockers. WSU was 6-0 in the venue heading into tonight's game.
OSU is now 15-5 all-time against the Shockers in Wichita, which is the best win percentage by any team that has played at least 10 games in Wichita.
Jeffrey Carroll and Jawun Evans led the Cowboys offensive efforts with 22 points each. This marks the third time this season in which the Cowboys had at least two 20-point scorers.
Phil Forte entered the game with the national lead in free throw percentage with a clip of 97.3 percent. The senior hit all four of his attempts tonight and is 42-of-43 from the line this year, and has made his last 20 attempts.
The Cowboys have forced every opponent to commit at least 15 turnovers, and have racked up at least seven steals in every game.
Brad Underwood scored his 97th career victory in just his 113th game. That .858 win percentage is tops among all active Division I coaches. With just 16 career losses, Underwood has a chance to reach his 100th victory faster than any coaches since Missouri's Doc Meanwell in 1918 (100-9) and Buck Freeman of St. John's in 1932 (100-10).
The Cowboys are now 30-8 all-time against the Shockers, and 94-36 against the current members of the Missouri Valley Conference.
