WICHITA ST. SHOCKS CAL, RALLYING FROM 18 POINTS DOWN

Shaquille Morris scored 25 points, Landry Shamet added 23 and No. 6 Wichita State got the Maui Invitational off to a wild start by rallying from an 18-point deficit to beat California 92-82 on Monday.

Cal used its pressure to harass the Shockers into mistakes and missed shots, building the lead to nine by halftime and 18 within 4½ minutes of the second half.

The Shockers turned the game around by turning on their own pressure cooker, revving up the crowd by speeding up the young Bears with their full-court press. Cal handled it poorly, leading to a string of turnovers transition baskets that allowed Wichita State to pull even with five minutes left.
