🤔 SHOCKER TRIVIA

Best of the Best. The Shocker fans know a thing or two when it comes to basketball, and when they show up, they really show up.

Our question today — do you know what the largest attendance is for a TBT game at Koch Arena?

Think you got it? Scroll on down to the bottom of this email for the answer!

🌾 ONE BIG THING

Wichita showed up to break the attendance record for a TBT game, but the AfterShocks run in the tournament unfortunately came to a close.

The quarterfinals matchup against the Heartfire proved to be a tough one. The AfterShocks were hot on the trail of a comeback like they had done in their past two previous games, but ultimately could not pull it off in the end.

The AfterShocks’ TBT run was one for the ages this year, and one the team, and the fans, won’t soon forget.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 7,202!

Have a great Wednesday, y’all.
