Good morning! Volleyball isn’t the only thing that’s returning to action this fall!

What else are we mixing into today’s edition of the Shocker Brew?

🏀 Men’s basketball slated for matchup in the Hall of Fame Classic
🎾 Shocker tennis to host Legends Cup Kickoff
🌾 ​ And much, much more!

🌾 ONE BIG THING

The Hall of Fame Classic will showcase a college basketball doubleheader with four tradition-rich programs, including Wichita State, on November 22 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo. The matchups will pit Iowa against Utah State and Wichita State vs. Saint Louis, with specific game times and broadcast assignments to be announced soon.

The Shockers and Billikens will square off for the second straight season after the two met in Myrtle Beach last season. Wichita State finished the 2023 Myrtle Beach Invitational with a resounding 88-69 win over Saint Louis. Tickets for the event will go on sale on Sept. 10 and will be available on t-mobilecenter.com.

🔼 Where Legends Are Made. Members of the community are invited to join the Wichita State tennis teams for an evening of free food, fun and skill instruction at the annual Legends Cup Kickoff, Tuesday, Aug. 20 at Sheldon Coleman Tennis Complex located on campus. The event serves as a launch party for the Legends Cup Tennis League, a weekly fall competition that pairs amateur tennis players with local "legends," including current and former Shockers.

🗣️ "The Legends Cup is always a ton of fun for everyone. Everyone who signs up gets at least six matches paired with a Shocker player or coach. You really get to know us and the teams while playing and get to have a lot of fun with them." - Collin Foster, women’s tennis head coach

🔼 Back In Action. The Virgin Islands were a fun getaway, but it’s time to get back to work. Shocker women’s basketball is preparing for their return to the Roundhouse later this fall with the help and support of Shocker Nation. Season ticket renewals are due Tuesday, September 13, so act now before it’s too late.

🔼 The Roundhouse Podcast. Wichita State baseball coach Brian Green joins the crew as he walks fans through some of the top newcomers, outfielder Jaden Gustafson's strong summer and how the team's style of play will look different in his second season. Plus, a discussion about the return of Grant Adler and Jace Miner, both all-conference picks in 2023, how those additions might shape the pitching rotation and how the Wheat Shock Collective and NIL money helps build the roster in a sport with partial scholarships.
