The four-team field features Florida, Minnesota and Wake Forest as the Shockers make their third appearance in the ESPN Events Invitational and first since 2015. Wichita State will play two games - bracket to be announced in the coming weeks - at State Farm Field House on the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Kissimmee, FL.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Wheels Up. There’s nothing like a summer tour. Wichita State women’s basketball is headed to the U.S. Virgin Islands to not only enjoy the beautiful sights and experiences but also get some work in against some international competition.

🔼 Getting That Worm. Wichita State basketball's breakfast club, an hour of reserved gym time at 7 a.m., is for Shockers who want to work on their game outside of practices. Wichita State is wrapping up its summer workouts, but many of the student-athletes are making the most of the time they have before the school year begins again.
