Shane Dennis will be WSU broadcaster on Cox basketball broadcasts
Shane Dennis will take over play by play duties for Wichita State’s men’s basketball television games on Cox 22, according to two sources.
Dennis, an account executive for Shocker Sports Properties, will call all games in the 14-game package. Bob Hull will continue to do analysis at home games; the analyst for the three road games is to be determined.
Dennis, a former Shockers baseball pitcher, also does color for WSU baseball games. He replaces Bruce Haertl as the voice of the Shockers on TV for basketball. Haertl started doing games during the tenure of former coach Randy Smithson (1996-2000). He is now a sports anchor and reporter at TV station KDVR in Denver.
The Cox and Missouri Valley Conference portion of the TV schedule will be announced on Friday. The ESPN and CBS Sports Network games were announced earlier this week.
