VanVleet, Baker lead Wichita State to win

Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker each scored 21 points and Wichita State finished with a 26-6 run to shake free of pesky Tulsa for a 77-54 win Wednesday night in its first road game of the season.

The Shockers shot 53.6 percent from the field in the second half after hitting just 35.7 percent in a first half that ended 31-all.

Wichita State (5-0) has outscored its opponents by a combined 71 points in the second half the past four games. Tulsa (0-3) was 13 for 30 from the free throw line. In its two home games this season, Tulsa is 30 for 66 from the line.
