The Basketball Tournament, a $1 million winner-take-all basketball tournament which features an array of alumni basketball teams, released its 2021 tournament bracket Monday morning.
Wichita will be a regional host site for the second time. The AfterShocks first game will be against the Ex-Pats, a team made up of graduates from the Patriot League. A win in its first game means a potential match-up with Purple and Black, the University of Kansas alumni team or Omaha Blue Crew, the Creighton University alumni team.
“As far as matchups go, we’re excited,” general manager Ron Baker said. “We don’t know a whole lot about the Ex-Pats but we do see the Creighton and K-State right above us so that’s exciting I think for the tournament itself especially because Wichita is centrally located and will hopefully draw some fans to those games in general.
