The AfterShocks are back for The Basketball Tournament 2026 looking to defend their crown and prove last year’s championship run was only the beginning. Headlined by Markis McDuffie, the Wichita State alumni squad returns with confidence, experience, and championship expectations.

Representing former Wichita State University stars, the AfterShocks have quickly become one of the premier teams in TBT since making their debut back in 2019. After capturing the championship last year, the squad now enters 2026 with a target on its back and every team looking to knock them off.

Now, the reigning champs have their sights set on going back-to-back, bringing home another $2 million prize, and capturing their second TBT title. If the Shockers catch momentum again, this team could send another shockwave through the tournament.

Tournament Record – 23 -5

Best Tournament Finish – Champions (2025)
