"Returning to Koch Arena every summer to play in The Basketball Tournament has obvious appeal for former Wichita State players. But with the way Shocker fans have embraced the summer basketball tournament, the second-to-none environment has made playing for the AfterShocks an attractive option for non-alumni players as well. “It gives us credibility when we try to reach out to certain guys,” AfterShocks coach Zach Bush said. “Even with guys who end up not coming, we get the same comment all the time. ‘You guys do things the right way.’ And that’s a huge credit to the fans making this the best environment in the tournament....”

How a Wichita native’s dream turned into a spot in TBT against the AfterShocks

JULY 19, 2024 6:02 AM
"When Wichita native Tyler O’Quinn set out to make his mark in the basketball world in 2020, he never could have imagined how far he would come in less than five years....
The Wichita native will try to author the ultimate Cinderella story at noon Saturday when he will coach his team against the No. 1 seed AfterShocks, Wichita State’s own alumni team, at Koch Arena. “If we’re going on a scale from 1 to 10, I’m definitely at an 11 right now,” O’Quinn said of his excitement for Saturday’s game. “I would have never guessed what this would turn into in 2024. That’s why I say all praise be to God and I’m so thankful for this opportunity.”...
The lone member of the TBT team who has played for Midtown previously is Devon Andrews, who also played for the Wichita Sky Kings in The Basketball League. The rest of the roster features a different array of players, like recent WSU graduate Gus Okafor, a foursome of Wichita-area natives in Kaheem Ransom (Southeast), Garrius Holloman (East), Joe Petrakis (Valley Center) and Jonah Carrasco (North), a trio of Southwestern players in Cevin Clark, Andrew O’Brien and Cooper Pierce and a pair of centers in 7-footer Jonathan Hall and 6-foot-11 Bryce Cashman...."

Wait, it's noon tomorrow for the AfterShocks?
Looking at ticket availability, seems likely that the crowd will be small. Hope I'm wrong.Comment
