Statement from Mike Kennedy, Voice of the Shockers
"Over the 44 years that I have been privileged to be the play-by-play broadcaster for Wichita State athletics, I have been part of 1,419 consecutive broadcasts of men's basketball games without ever missing one, and I have loved every minute of that time, representing the WSU programs and the incredible Shocker fans. Unfortunately, tonight it is necessary to step back from that labor of love for a moment. I am receiving treatment for prostate cancer, and in order to maintain the optimum schedule for those treatments, I have decided to remain at home and will miss the games at East Carolina and Charlotte.
