Wichita State is scrapping its annual basketball kickoff event, Shocker Madness.
A new event, coined the Black and Yellow Scrimmage by the athletic department, is taking its place.
Director of Fan Engagement Reggie McIntyre said “a lot of it really isn’t different, per se.”
One noticeable difference is the removal of organized three-point and dunk competitions. In past years, the contests have been considered fan favorites. McIntyre said he doesn’t expect dunks to stay off the agenda.
“I believe our players, after they get done scrimmaging, will put on a show for the fans,” McIntyre said.
