For Gregg Marshall and the Wichita State men’s basketball team, more is on the line than bragging rights, t-shirts, professional careers and million dollar endorsements.

Free pizza is on the line.

Pizza Hut—the national, and now global, pizza chain that got its start at WSU—announced earlier this week that it would give free pizza to Wichita State students if the men’s basketball team wins the NCAA championship game.

“This is one of many ways we like to give back to the school,” Pizza Hut spokesman Doug Terfehr said Friday.

The original Pizza Hut building, now located on the WSU campus, would ceremoniously reopen on the Thursday following the NCAA championship game, held on Monday, April 8.

But because the little brick building is no longer a functioning restaurant, Terfehr said, a large, 18-wheeler semi would serve the free pizza in front of the original building.

“Wichita is obviously near and dear to our hearts,” Terfehr said. “Without the work of the Carney brothers, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”

Wichita State students Dan and Frank Carney opened the first Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kan. in 1958. Now 50 years later, the original building now sits on the WSU campus, where the Carney brothers gained their education in entrepreneurship.

So what if the Shockers lose in Saturday night’s game against Ohio State? For Terfehr, that’s not an option.

“You’ve beaten the number one team in the country,” he said. “You’ve got our entire company behind you.”
