This will be the Shockers first game at INTRUST Bank Arena under the guidance of new head coach Paul Mills.
 
"This will be a wonderful game to play at INTRUST Bank Arena for our fans and the city of Wichita to see a terrific college basketball game," said Wichita State coach Paul Mills. "South Dakota State is well-coached, has a winning tradition and boasts one of the most formidable lineups in college basketball.
 
"I've had an up-close view of how good South Dakota State is beginning in 2012 while coaching at Baylor and drawing them in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament," added Mills. "I've seen their progression through the years with many head-to-head meaningful games while I was on the opposite bench.

Mills arrives at Wichita State after a highly successful career at Oral Roberts where he transformed the Golden Eagles from Summit League bottom dwellers to undefeated champions over a six-year span (2017-23) with NCAA tournament bids in two of the last three years.
 
In 2021 Mills became just the second coach to guide a No. 15 seed to Sweet 16, upsetting Ohio State and Florida in the first two rebounds before losing a heartbreaker to Arkansas in the South Regional Semifinal.
 
Mills raised the bar again in 2023 when he led ORU to a 30-5 record and swept the Summit’s regular season and tournament crowns. The Golden Eagles became just the second team in conference history to go 18-0 and their No. 12 seed in the Big Dance was the program’s best in nearly four decades.
 
South Dakota State posted a 19-13 record last year under coach Eric Henderson whose squads have never finished worse than second in The Summit League standings and won at least a share of the Summit League regular season title in three seasons.
 
Henderson’s 2021-22 team became the first team ever to go undefeated in the Summit League at 18-0 while advancing to the NCAA Tournament.
