WICHITA — It seems the only way anybody from the Missouri Valley Conference is going to spoil No. 4 Wichita State’s unbeaten season is if the Shockers spot them a big enough lead.So far, even that hasn’t mattered a whole lot.After allowing Evansville to race out to a 15-point lead on Saturday, the Shockers roared back behind big games from Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker. The guards scored 14 points apiece to lead the Shockers to an 81-67 victory at Koch Arena.“It’s just realizing there’s a lot of game left,” Baker said of the comeback.
