WICHITA– In the past, Charles Koch Arena was quiet in the summers. Off-season workouts would be going on, but the seats would be eerily empty. This summer, that would change.
On January 29, the city of Wichita was announced as a regional host for The Basketball Tournament’s sixth-annual edition of the tournament. The announcement also introduced the Aftershocks, an alumni team for former Shockers.
The months of May, June and early July were quiet yet again, as TBT waited to start play in Kansas. The Aftershocks were finally able to kick off its dream for $2 million on Thursday when the team played Iowa United, a team made up of Iowa, Iowa State and Drake alumni in a first round match-up.
