It is a first for Wichita, and for Wichita State University.  In the more than 90 games the Wichita Shockers have played against the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes, this is the first one in the Intrust Bank Arena. A sell out crowd of more than 14,000 people were there Tuesday night.  But before the first plays of the game, before the record crowd streamed through the doors, there were the dedicated fans. "We're going to see the Shockers play Tulsa," explained Gloria Johnson as she waited for the game to start, two rows from the court.
