On the eve of the transfer portal opening, here's a look at the Wichita State roster.
Blue = On roster, but not confirmed returning
Gold = Confirmed returning
Emmanuel Okorafor not listed until he receives a waiver to play.
Wanted to bring this to attention. Obviously one season less but if coach Mills can have a season equal to/better than this one, he will be damn near the same as Gregg Marshall was in his first 4 seasons. Never know how good a coach is until you give them sufficient time.
Wyoming coach Sundance Wicks on why his teams will never opt out of a postseason opportunity:
“We will always accept an invitation to the National Invitation Tournament. If we don't ever get an NCAA automatic qualifier bid or an at large bid in March Madness, we'll always accept this, because it is our civic duty as basketball coaches of basketball players to normalize playing basketball as long as you can, because that's what we get paid to do nowadays. This is our job.
“My wife can't just wake up someday and be like, ‘You know what? I'm gonna opt out of teaching today.’ This is what we need to normalize, and this (NIT) field is outstanding. It is like Mid-Major Madness, and I love it. Kudos to Auburn for accepting the bid. That's outstanding.”
Winning with integrity on and off the court.
Head Coach Paul Mills has been named a finalist for the Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award.
