Wichita ? David Kyles scored 13 points and hit four of Wichita State’s 11 three-pointers in a victory over Nebraska on Wednesday night in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament.

J.T. Durley had 12 points, and Graham Hatch added 11 for Wichita State (25-8), which will play at the Bethune Cookman-Virginia Tech winner in the second round.

“That’s about as well as we’ve played in quite a while,” Shockers coach Gregg Marshall said.

Jorge Brian Diaz and Lance Jeter each scored 12 for the Cornhuskers (19-13), who ended their season with three straight losses.

Wichita State went 11-of-26 from three-point range, while Nebraska was just 2-for-18.

“When you get outscored by 27 from the three-point line, you’re not going to win many games,” Huskers coach Doc Sadler said.

Playing without injured center Andre Almeida, Nebraska missed its first seven shots and trailed 10-0.

“We didn’t give them any pressure from the get go,” Sadler said.
