Shocker Brew 6/3: Ready and Waiting
Today, Shocker volleyball unveils its conference schedule
Good morning! The newest Shocker is ready and waiting to join the track and field program for the 2024-25 season.
What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?
🏐 Wichita State to host AAC Tournament
🏀 Shockers invited to inaugural tournament
🌾 And much, much more!
🌾 ONE BIG THING
Shocker volleyball is set with its 2024 conference schedule following the team’s 15-4 AAC record during the 2023 season.
The 16-match conference schedule is evenly split, with eight home and road contests. The Shockers are set to host Temple, Rice, South Florida, Florida Atlantic, Memphis, UAB, Tulsa and UTSA, while traveling to Memphis, UAB, Charlotte, East Carolina, Tulsa, Rice, Tulane and North Texas. With 13 teams competing in 2024, the AAC has abandoned the two-division system utilized last season.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 First Things First. Shocker women’s basketball will be one of eight teams set to compete in the inaugural Emerald Coast Classic Women’s Basketball Tournament on Nov. 25 and 26 in Florida. The tournament will feature two brackets, the Bay Bracket and the Beach Bracket; Wichita State will join Creighton, Missouri and Syracuse in the Beach Bracket.
🔼 Championship Hosts. After finishing second place in last season’s AAC standings, Shocker volleyball will host the conference tournament at the Charles Koch Arena later this year. The AAC tournament will begin Friday, November 22 and concludes with the conference's championship match on Sunday, November 24. The AAC's top eight teams qualify for the single-elimination tournament. The conference previously held tournaments in both 2019 and 2020, though the Shockers did not appear in either competition.
