Men’s basketball head coach Paul Mills says Wichita State played ‘entitled basketball’ in Kansas City loss

Head coach Paul Mills and senior guard Bijan Cortes talk after a timeout. The Shockers played the Kansas City Roos on Dec. 17, losing 74-64.

Going into Tuesday’s game against the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), Wichita State men’s basketball head coach Paul Mills was pleased with the team’s practice on Monday. He stressed the importance of “urgency.”

Then, Wichita State lost by 10 points at home to a lower-ranked team that was paid $80,000 to travel to the Roundhouse.

After reviewing the film, Mills said Wichita State “played like an entitled basketball team” — the players lacked urgency and came into the game thinking they had already won.
