The momentum across our basketball teams is a direct reflection of your passion and commitment. More than 91% of our men's basketball season ticket holders renewed this year, and after welcoming nearly 600 new season ticket members last season, we've added over 500 more this year. Even with two additional home games on the schedule (19 home games represent the most number of games in Charles Koch Arena in the history of our program), we held pricing steady because we remain committed to providing one of the best values in college athletics.

On the court, Head Coach Paul Mills and his staff have built something special. In an era where roster turnover dominates college basketball, the Shockers return 11 players with invaluable experience from last year's 24-win team. These returners account for 67.5% of last year's scoring production -- a figure that leads the American Conference and ranks among the top programs in the country.

That continuity, combined with the culture and belief throughout the locker room, has positioned Wichita State as the preseason coaches' poll favorite in the American Athletic Conference and created tremendous momentum heading into the season.

If you do not have your season tickets yet, you can reserve your seat at all 19 home games throughout this highly-anticipated season starting at $410.

I also encourage you to rally behind our women's basketball team as they begin an exciting new chapter. With a fresh roster, renewed energy, and affordable season ticket and single-game options, I expect the experience at Shocker women's basketball games to be one you and your family enjoy.

You can lock in your seat for a full season of women's hoops for only $58! We truly believe it is one of the most affordable, family-friendly entertainment options in Wichita.

There has never been a better time to be part of the action. From the electric atmosphere inside The Roundhouse to our continued investment in Community Tickets that welcome more than 6,200 individuals from charitable organizations to our events, we're strengthening the connection between Wichita State Athletics and the community we proudly represent.

Now it's your turn.

Get in on the hype! Bring your family and friends, wear black and yellow, and show up!

In case you didn't see, SLAM recently released a book of "64 Iconic College Basketball Experiences" that included Charles Koch Arena. Shocker Nation should be extremely proud of that distinction. But we need your help maintaining that reputation to create the home-court advantage that makes the Roundhouse one of those "iconic" environments. So, get your season tickets today to make sure we stay in the conversation of the most respected college hoops environments for the foreseeable future.

Championship seasons aren't built by teams alone. They're built by communities. Let's build this one together.

Go Shockers!
