Wichita State Shockers Basketball Tickets Tickets

The Shockers head into the season having to replace four-fifths of their starting lineup, and they might have faced a complete overhaul had center Paul Miller not broken his foot as a freshman. Miller was a part of the same recruiting class as Jamar Howard, Randy Burns and Rob Kampman but had to take a medical redshirt after suffering die injury. Howard, Kampman and Burns wound up starting for four seasons, as will" Miller as he begins his fourth season as a regular.
He'll try to achieve something that eluded the others in his recruiting class—getting the Shockers to the NCAA Tournament. Wichita State has had to settle for three straight NIT trips, which gives the Shockers their longest string of postseason appearances since 1987-89.
The Shockers also lost point guard Adam Liberty after the sophomore decided to transfer. Wichita State will look to Marquette transfer Karon Bradley to take over for Liberty, while EJ. Couisnard, Sean Ogirri and Kyle Wilson will be counted on to play expanded roles this season. Couisnard, in particular, showed glimpses of impact ability as a freshman, while the 6'8" Wilson must provide Miller with some inside help.
Among the newcomers are a pair of junior college transfers who should take little time in getting acquainted with each other. Ryan Martin and Jared Young have known each other since they were four years old and were high school teammates in Kansas City.
