🌾 ONE BIG THING

Mark your calendars. On Saturday, Dec. 21, Shocker men’s basketball will welcome the Kansas State Wildcats to Charles Koch Arena for an in-state showdown. The final year of a four-year contract will bring the Wildcats to the Roundhouse for the first time since 2002. The Shockers are 9-7 all-time vs. K-State at home, but will look to snap a four-game losing streak to the Wildcats.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Fan Friendly. After hearing feedback from Shocker Nation, Wichita State Athletics will introduce new premium seating opportunities at the Charles Koch Arena for the 2024-25 men’s basketball season. The opportunities include new season ticket pricing and new courtside seating options.

🗣️ "Through a broad range of engagements, listening and learning throughout these last many months, we have come to better understand the priorities and needs of Shocker Nation."  - Kevin Saal, Director of Athletics

🔼 Keeping Score. The NCAA announced the Academic Progress Rate (APR) for all DI programs, and Wichita State’s 957 is well within the NCAA’s standards. Wichita State saw seven programs earn a perfect score of 1000 for the 2022-23 academic year – men's cross country, men's golf, men's tennis, men's track and field, softball, women's tennis, and volleyball.
