🚨BREAKING🚨 Wichita State is expected to hire former Shocker P.J. Couisnard as assistant coach, according to several sources. Should be official soon. Couisnard brings valuable pipeline to Houston & Texas in recruiting. More on his 2nd act as a Shocker: kansas.com/sports/college…
No surprise at all, but @sydneyrmckinney has been selected for the AUSL All-Star Cup!
Look at all those stars, y'all 🌟 These Bandits will be competing in the AUSL All-Star Cup, and @lexikilfoyl is serving as a Series 1 Captain! 🔗 theausl.com/bandits/news/b…
Wichita’s finest finishes at 9-under for an opening round 62 and currently sits in second place at the 3M Open.
Sam Stevens is 9-under thru 14 to start @3MOpen! He needs to play his last four in 3-under for a 59.
The @NBCBaseball World Series kicks off today at Eck Stadium. Nearly 50 years ago, it helped launch Ozzie Smith’s Hall of Fame career with the @Cardinals. I caught up with @STLWizard when he returned to Wichita earlier this year to talk baseball. kansas.com/sports/other-s…
Wichita native @HenryThengvall grew up dreaming of wearing a Shocker jersey. After years of grinding behind the scenes as a walk-on, he finally experienced the moment he never thought would come. My story on the @kmcathletics grad earning a scholarship: kansas.com/sports/college…
A family emergency pulled him away. Loyalty brought him back. @ThatMcDuffieKid's cross-country sprint on Tuesday just to make it back for @thetournament showed just how much the @AfterShocksTBT — and Wichita State — still mean to him. kansas.com/sports/college…
The basketball gods seem to never allow the Wichita State-KU/K-State game. The AfterShocks will play Heartfire at 8 pm Sunday at Koch Arena in a 2023 rematch in the Elite 8.

Our 2025-26 conference pairings are here 😤 @American_Conf x #FearTheWheat 🌾 🔗 linktr.ee/goshockersmbb
Before @AfterShocksTBT game, @WizKellyy sent 2018 highlights of Wichita State's pummeling of Houston at Koch Arena to the team's group chat. "This is what we do." My story on how AfterShocks were ready to win what felt like a throwback WSU/Houston clash. kansas.com/sports/college…

The moonball buzzer-beater of @Marcus3Keene joins the growing legend of summer hoops in Wichita — another unforgettable Elam Ending at the Roundhouse last night. My story on the latest @AfterShocksTBT thriller to send them back to @thetournament Elite 8. kansas.com/sports/college…
A cool part of the TBT experience is watching former Shockers and current Shockers connect. A group of the 25-26 Wichita State team came back to congratulate the AfterShocks following the win tonight.
“They messed up putting too many killers on one team.” Scenes from the locker room after Marcus Keene hits another all-time Elam Ender inside Koch Arena.
That feeling when you’re three wins away from winning the $1 million and don’t have to leave Koch Arena.
Excellent game so far between the AfterShocks and Forever Coogs. Feels like those old Wichita State-Houston bouts. Free throws by McDuffie put AfterShocks up 58-57 entering Elam Ending. Target score set at 66.
