Count "The Fonz" in as a true Wichita State believer.

On a day when the Shockers beat 2-seed Kansas in the NCAA tournament in the schools' first meeting in 22 years, we also learned they have the full support of Henry Winkler, best known for his role as The Fonz on the 1970s TV hit "Happy Days."

Theodore Bressman

Winkler's son, Max, is good friends with Theodore Bressman, a 30-year-old screenwriter in Hollywood. Bressman grew up in New York and went to Harvard, but his mom is from Wichita, his grandmother was the chairwoman of the Board of Trustees at WSU and he attended the program's basketball camp as a kid. So he's cheered for the Shockers for years.

And now he's got The Fonz on board. Bressman has watched the first two Wichita State tournament games at the Winkler house and told ESPN.com that the 69-year-old actor "became a believer today."

He even threw up the "shocker" sign that Wichita fans have been using for years and tweeted out the team's "Play Angry" slogan -- the same slogan that Bressman had adorned on his and his groomsman's shoes at his recent wedding.

As for the next Wichita State game, Bressman is on the fence.

"I'm debating whether to keep the good luck of the Winkler home alive or heading to Cleveland for the Sweet 16."

Really, how can one go wrong with either of those choices?
