Awesome! Do you have tickets yet?

I don't have mine, but seriously considering... switching jobs at the moment and will have next Thursday and Friday off. Perfect timing.

We are getting them from the Cheer team allotment. Hope to see you there, Matt.

Hope so! And hope your group of ~7 will be in green and not black/gold! 😀

[untcampbell]

Green for at least 5!

Neutral game, but very pro-Kansas crowd. Wish we could get some nonconference games with the P5's in Texas, even if they're mostly on the road.

[CMJ]

This is where the real fun begins.  Need to bring our A game and everything we've learned thus far.

AAC membership is already paying dividends to our program.

The game Thursday is at 8:00pm CT on National TV = ESPN2

Most of those 26 Shockers’ wins ins were from the MVC days.

Fun facts:

In Fall 2023 WSU had 17,500 total students and 13,600 undergrads.

WSU was the first municipal university west of the Mississippi.

WSU is in the same system and has the same Board as KU and KSU.

In a reverse of most universities, the school's name was Univ. of Wichita until 1964 when it changed to WSU.

Tickets secured, hotel booked. Hope to see some UNT folks in Wichita tomorrow!

Curious how big the crowd will be. We have played two home games already over Christmas Break, with two more to come. This will be Wichita State's first home game since the Saturday that school let out, against Southern Illinois. They reported 7,167 for that game. It'll also be about 35 degrees around tipoff.

Spread right now is Wichita State +1

NT game thread on the Shocker fan forums...

"Under new NCAA rules, Tylor Perry transfers back to UNT for one game and torches us for 27 points, before returning to KState second semester."

[UNTLifer]

Give them the Shocker. 
 

Is that  inappropriate?
