WICHITA, Kan. (GoShockers.com) – Second-year head coach Terry Nooner unveiled his 13-game non-conference schedule Tuesday afternoon.
The Shockers open their season with six-straight games in Charles Koch Arena, beginning with an Oct. 30 exhibition against Northeastern State and the regular season opener versus Oklahoma Christian on Nov. 4. They will then face off against Belmont (Nov. 9) and Missouri State (Nov.13) after playing both teams on the road last season.
Wichita State could play as many as four of its 13 non-conference games against teams that danced last March, starting with home opponent Oklahoma on Nov. 19. The Sooners, along with Emerald Coast Classic teams, Creighton (Nov. 25) and Syracuse (Nov. 26*), as well as in-state road foe Kansas (Dec.5), all advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last spring.
Season ticket packages, which also include nine American Athletic Conference home games, are on sale now through the Shocker Ticket Office starting as low as $54.
The Shockers end their non-conference slate on the road, taking on two California teams, Loyola Marymount (Dec.15) and Cal State Bakersfield (Dec. 18), in The Golden State before wrapping things up in Tulsa, Okla. against 2024 WNIT first round team, Oral Roberts.
