PEORIA, Ill. (AP) – Fred VanVleet made two free throws with 4.6 seconds left, helping No. 16 Wichita State hold on for a 62-59 victory at Bradley on Wednesday night.

The Shockers went without a field goal for the final 12 1/2 minutes in their first game since Saturday’s 70-54 loss at Northern Iowa. After VanVleet’s clutch foul shots, Evan Wessel stole Bradley’s ensuing inbounds pass to help Wichita State hold on for the win.

Ron Baker had 14 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Shockers (20-3, 10-1 Missouri Valley), who led 35-22 at halftime. Tekele Cotton and Darius Carter had 10 points apiece.

Bradley (7-17, 2-9) has lost three in a row and eight of nine. Tramique Sutherland scored 18 points for the conference’s last-place team.
