How to follow the Shockers on social media

If you can’t make it to Omaha for the NCAA Tournament this week, you can still follow along with Wichita State’s players and coaches thanks to social media in the postseason.

Here’s a rundown of the Twitter and Instagram accounts for the Shockers — if it indicates an account is protected, that means the player or coach will have to approve your follow request before you can see their tweets or Instagram pics:
