PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joel Embiid stretched his balky back each time he had a moment's rest.
Those vital health breaks were fleeting — Embiid gutted out nearly 40 minutes, showing again that the days of the All-Star center missing seasons and stretches of games with injuries have become a faded memory.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — No. 11 Wichita State has advanced to the semifinals of American Athletic Conference tournament.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — After seeing his team cut a 16-point halftime deficit down to four with four minutes remaining, Tulane coach Mike Dunleavy hoped a trap would provide a turnover to make it a one-possession game.

"I just said: 'OK, that's enough. Just relax and execute, and stop turning the ball over,'" Marshall said.
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — In a game reminiscent of many big matchups between former Missouri Valley Conference rivals now reunited, No. 5 Wichita State edged Tulsa 72-69 Saturday before a sellout crowd that was evenly divided between the schools.

Wichita State (15-2, 5-0) remained unbeaten in its first season in the American Athletic Conference.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — His team had just been blown out, and South Florida coach Brian Gregory grabbed the stat sheet to make sure his players saw a small number that stood out to him.
Landry Shamet, the star guard for No. 9 Wichita State, took just two shots in a 95-57 victory on Sunday.
"Two shots the whole game," Gregory said. "He don't care. I mean, All-American, NBA first-round pick, and he doesn't care about any of that. That's because of the type of high-level program they've built."
