After a season filled with adversity for Wichita State, the Shockers are slated to return to their first NCAA Tournament since 2018.
Before the season started, six players transferred out of the program, former head coach Gregg Marshall resigned amid allegations of abuse and COVID-19 complications kept them from competing in their season-opening tournament.
Earlier this week in the conference tournament, the Shockers faced more hardships. In the AAC Semifinals, WSU fell to Cincinnati, giving the Shockers their worst loss of the season one day before the Selection Show.
Even with that, Head Coach Isaac Brown remained positive, especially with everything the team has gone through this year.
