After shattering the attendance record for four straight days in 2019, The Basketball Tournament (TBT) – a $2 million, winner-take-all summer basketball event broadcast live on ESPN – has selected Wichita as one of its 2020 regional sites for its seventh annual tournament, which will take place July 30 through Aug. 2 at Charles Koch Arena.
When TBT came to Wichita last summer, Wichita broke the attendance record for four straight days, drawing 20,000 fans to Koch Arena to see the inaugural summer of TBT action with the Wichita State alumni team, the AfterShocks. Opening night drew a record crowd of 7,184 fans.
