Akron drive-in delivers to Wichita State locker room rewarding Darius Carter
Wichita State senior Darius Carter played the best game of his college career in the final game of his college career Thursday night in a Sweet 16 loss to hot-shooting Notre Dame in Cleveland.
There was a reward awaiting Carter and his teammates in the Shockers' sad locker room.

Carter grew up in nearby Akron and earlier in the week he said he was hoping someone would bring him some food from one of his favorite hometown eateries, Swenson's Drive Ins. The restaurant got word of Carter's craving.
@GoShockers We want to make dreams come true for Darius Carter & the rest of the team tonight, how many people are on the basketball team?

Darius Carter scored a career-best 22 points with eight rebounds against the Fighting Irish. While his effort didn't result in a win, he at least had the comfort of some of his favorite grub to ease the pain. FOX Sports Ohio had visual evidence.
