WICHITA, Kan. —Gregg Marshall announced he will remain Wichita State’s men’s basketball coach.
“Wichita State is a special place, with great resources, from facilities to academics to people," Marshall said. "My family and I feel this is a great place for us. I appreciate my staff and players who have achieved at a high level, and look forward to continued success.
“I appreciate the support of Wichita State University President Dr. Donald Beggs, as well as Athletic Director Dr. Eric Sexton and his staff, for their continued commitment to the program. The people at the University and in the Wichita community make this a great place to live, work and win."
In 2012, Marshall coached the Shockers to a 27-6 record, the MVC regular-season title, the NCAA Tournament and a high of No. 14 in the top 25 polls. WSU’s four-year record of 98-41, and two-year record of 56-14, are the best-ever at WSU.

"I am pleased to say that Gregg Marshall will continue to be the head coach at Wichita State," Sexton said. "He represents Wichita State University and
