I was basically totally off the gird this weekend and unable to follow the AfterShocks on Friday.
But according to Sully's post-game RH Report:
In the Koch Arena media room, AfterShocks guard Clevin Hannah looked at the stat sheet. Sideline Cancer out-rebounded AfterShocks 39-23, 15-8 on the offensive glass. Hannah shook his head and muttered "You're not going to win that way."
Sideline Cancer also made 14 of 31 three-pointers – 11 from guards Remy Abell, Maurice Creek and Marcus Keene – to overmatch a 4-of-20 performance by the AfterShocks.
Looking forward to next summer Bradley and his coaches now possess a better idea of how the TBT is played and how they should construct a roster. Injuries limited their backcourt depth and robbed them of some excellent defensive guards, a significant issue in a tournament in which backcourt play dominates.
"This is professional, high-level basketball," Bradley said. "I'll look at the film myself and figure out ways I could have been better. We'll look at it and be better."
Toure Murry, Tekele Cotton and Joe Ragland were in town and didn't play, due to minor injuries. They and other former Shockers might help in the future.
"The younger guys got to know the older guys and we blended that really well," Bradley said. "We had guys that wanted to play this year and they'll come back healthy next year and ready to go."

But I’m not going to read too much into what happened over a two game sample size. One of which we won and the other could have very easily been a win on a different night. This was a new experience for all involved and we were short two of our better perimeter defenders.
Bradley already said that they will take what they learned this year and apply it to next so my expectation is that, health and scheduling allowing, next years team will be better than this years. Whether that means a different result...who can say at this point.

Teams apply to specific regions, correct? Next year will be interesting with everyone applying for Wichita. I would guess TBT is under no obligation to accept the best applicants and are incentivized to put the 6 worst teams in Wichita. I don’t have a ton of knowledge on TBT but I heard that Wichita was stacked multiple times.

That was a fun weekend. I can't wait for the tournament to come back next year. They would be crazy not to give Wichita a regional again. I would bet we nearly outdrew the entire rest of the tournament combined! This is a business, they have quickly realized what they have here in Wichita with this rabid fan base.
I loved seeing our guys back on the floor at Koch. Cleven Hannah was so good. That hesitation move he put on Saturday afternoon was a thing of beauty! I could watch it as many times as a TC dunk! I am looking forward to my next view of the Aftershocks!Go Shocks!
