Shocker Brew: 8/1: AfterShocks Go For the Million!
The AfterShocks can win The Basketball Tournament title and the $1 million winner-take-all prize at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3.
Good morning, Shocker Nation. The AfterShocks can win The Basketball Tournament title and the $1 million winner-take-all prize at 3 p.m. CT on Sunday, Aug. 3 (FOX) at Koch Arena. They face Eberlein Drive, which defeated Best Virginia 85-77 on Thursday.
The AfterShocks make their first appearance in the championship game in their sixth TBT. A 2022 semifinal appearance was their previous best finish.
The Thursday semifinal got heated with technical fouls on Nichols and Marcus Azor of We Are D3 and one on Nike Sibande of the AfterShocks. The emotions – and frustrations – didn't bother the AfterShocks, who took charge with a 21-5 edge in the second quarter to build a 35-17 lead.

🔼 Returning to Rule. Wichita State women's golf head coach Tom McCurdy released his squad's schedule for the 2025-26 season on Wednesday afternoon. The 2025-26 season will be the 19th for McCurdy as leader of the Shockers.
Coach McCurdy has high expectations for the coming season as he returns almost all of his 2024-25 squad's production.
Wichita State ended the 2024-25 season on a high note, recording its second-best finish at the American Championship in team history. The Shockers were led at the AAC Championship by Kate Tilma, who returns for her third year in the Black and Yellow after transferring from Kansas State.
