Darius Carter, Evan Wessel and No. 4 Wichita State wrestled away an 82-73 victory from Max Martino and Northern Iowa on Saturday night in Cedar Falls, Iowa, to remain undefeated, clearing perhaps its toughest remaining hurdle for an unbeaten regular season. Cleanthony Early had all 16 of his points in the first half for the Shockers (25-0, 12-0 Missouri Valley Conference), as they became the first team to open 25-0 since Derrick Rose helped Memphis win its first 26 games in 2007-08.
