The Basketball Tournament is coming back to Wichita.
The $2 million winner-take-all basketball tournament that is broadcasted on ESPN has selected the city of Wichita to host a regional in back-to-back years on Tuesday. The seventh annual tournament has slated the Wichita games to be played from July 30 – Aug. 2 inside Charles Koch Arena. The announcement also means Wichita State’s alumni team, the AfterShocks, will also be making their second-ever appearance in the tournament.
When the tournament came last year, Wichita broke the all-time regional four day record for attendance – bringing in 20,000 fans.
