(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.
Do Good

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
