Dominic Okon’s bucket list is a little different than yours.
This one example should underline it properly.
“I’ve been to all of the continents except for Australia and … Antarctica,” Okon said. “And Australia looks amazing. So that’s on my bucket list.”
Okon is in his seventh year as Wichita State’s director of operations for men’s basketball — with coach Gregg Marshall from the start — and his journey to this point has spanned (almost) the entire globe, starting from being raised in a seminary in Akwa Ibom, Nigeria to Wichita, last year’s historic Final Four run and the Shockers’ 27-0 start this season.
Those travels take a turn into Okon’s past this week, when WSU travels to Chicago to take on new MVC member Loyola on Wednesday. Okon played for the Ramblers for his final two college seasons, from 1996 to 1998.
