The Basketball Tournament is coming back to Wichita.
The $1 million winner-take-all basketball tournament that is broadcasted on ESPN has selected the city of Wichita to host a regional for a second time. The eighth annual tournament has slated the Wichita games to be played from July 16-20 inside Charles Koch Arena. The announcement also means Wichita State’s alumni team, the AfterShocks, will be making their return to the tournament after not competing last year.
When the tournament came to Wichita in 2019, they broke the all-time regional four day record for attendance – bringing in 20,000 fans.
