🔼 Widening the WSU Circle. Longtime Wichita State supporters Tom and Myra Devlin are once again stepping up for Shocker Nation — this time with a gift that will fill Charles Koch Arena with new faces during the 2025–26 MBB season. For Tom and Myra, this gift is about more than the game itself — it's about building momentum for the future of Shocker basketball.

Inspired by the recent generosity of Shane and Kianne Prill, Rick and Barbara Hemphill, and Tony and Sherl Weatherbee, the Devlins have donated season tickets to the Wichita State Men's Basketball team. These tickets will be distributed to local organizations, including United Way affiliates, veterans' groups, and Stand Together, opening the door for more Wichita-area residents to experience the excitement of Shocker hoops.

This is what it’s all about right here… 🏀 👇🏼
