HIGHLIGHTS: Wichita State men's basketball vs. UNC Asheville (11/4/25)

A lot of unknowns surrounded Wichita State’s men’s basketball team in its season opener. The Shockers’ starting five — and the whole team, practically — was made up of players who’d never weathered a season in Koch Arena or under third-year coach Paul Mills. Inexperience together showed early Tuesday evening against UNC Asheville. Wichita State toyed with lineups on the court, went on offensive lulls during stretches and broke down on defense at times, which led to easy buckets for the Bulldogs. The Shockers ended the first half by giving up 20 rebounds, eight on the offensive glass, and turned the ball over five times. On a few occasions, they ran down the shot clock for desperation heaves. “We gave up too many rebounds in the first half,” senior guard Kenyon Giles said post game. “That’s not who we are. We’re going to be one of the best teams in the country at rebounding.” It wasn’t until there were under four minutes left in the game that they took control. During that time, Wichita State (1-0) went on a 15-2 run to close out the win against UNC Asheville (0-1), 75-58. Video by Mack Smith | The Sunflower
