Ten Shockers own two or more seasons of NCAA Division I experience. The roster totals seven players with NCAA Tournament experience. Eight Shockers own a career-high game of 18 or more points.
Wichita State's roster is stocked with experience and people accustomed to playing significant minutes and in significant games. It is also the second summer for eight Shockers under coach Paul Mills. They know how practices operate, and they know the expectations. The adjustment period between coaches and players is in the past for many Shockers.
"It's a lot faster-paced," forward Ronnie DeGray III said.
