🌾 ONE BIG THING
As if the week couldn’t get any better for Shocker volleyball’s Morgan Stout, fresh off an AAC title, the redshirt senior middle blocker was selected by the Vegas Thrill with the 25th overall pick of the Pro Volleyball Federation 2024 Draft. Stout is the first Wichita State player to be drafted in the PVF and was the only player from the AAC to be selected. She was tabbed First Team All-American Athletic Conference last week, leading all middle blockers nationally in kills per set (3.16) and second at the position in points per set (3.96) hitting a team-best .319 in the process.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Turkey Day Tipoff. Shocker men’s basketball will open the 2024 ESPN Events Invitational against Minnesota on Thanksgiving Day on ESPN2.

🔼 The Roundhouse Podcast. Wichita State defensive specialists Reagan Anderson and Grace Hett stop by to relive the AAC Championship and entry into the NCAA Tournament. The crew talks about how the Shockers revived their season after a tough finish to the regular season, an unsung star from the weekend and all the confetti.
