{WICHITA, Ks.} — The Wichita State Shockers look for their 8th straight win when they host Evansville on Wednesday night. Wichita State (17-3, 8-1) beat Evansville (10-9. 5-4) at the Ford Center 67-66 earlier this season. Garrett Stutz scored 29 points in that first game against the Purple Aces which is bad news for the Shockers considering the big man is a game-time decision for Wichita State. Stutz is still battling a strained rhomboid muscle.

Game-time is set for 7 pm at Charles Koch Arena.

22nd ranked Kansas State welcomes Jordan Henriquez back into the lineup as they travel to face Texas Tech. Henriquez was suspended indefinitely on January 19th for 'conduct detrimental to the team' and was reinstated Tuesday night by head coach Frank Martin.

Kansas State (14-4, 3-3) looks for its third-straight win when they face the cellar-dwelling Red Raiders (7-11, 0-6). Rodney McGruder is leading the team in scoring as he averages more than 20 points per game.

K-State and Texas Tech will tip off at 8 pm on Wednesday night.

Finally the Wichita Thunder hope to get off the schnide as they are set to host the Arizona Sundogs Wednesday night at Intrust Bank Arena. The Thunder are coming off back to back to back games against the Texas Brahmas.

Wichita currently leads the Berry Conference by a slim margin over Allen. Forward Thomas Beauregard is the 10th leading scorer in the C.H.L. with 19 goals and 41 points this season for the Thunder. Goaltender Adam Russo ranks 6th in the league with a 2.55 goals against average.

The Thunder (24-11-2) face the Sundogs (12-19-7) at 7 pm on Wednesday.
