Itawamba (Miss.) Community College’s basketball team is on its way to the Region 23 playoffs in Clinton, Miss. Three wins, and the Indians are coming to Hutchinson for the national tournament.
That would give Shocker fans a chance to see point guard Anthony Brock. Coach Marty Cooper said Wichita State is in Brock’s top five and he expects Brock to visit later this spring. WSU coach Gregg Marshall has been to Itawamba to make his pitch. Brock, Cooper said, likes the Valley’s reputation, WSU’s tradition and fan support. His other top choices are Evansville, UTEP, South Alabama and Lamar.
Brock (5-foot-9, 165 pounds) scored 36 points in last week’s state championship game, a 79-74 win over Co-Lin. He averages 19.2 points and 4.8 assists.
“He’s just one of those guys you call a winner,” Cooper said. “He understands what his team needs.”
