Wichita State basketball coach Paul Mills and Voice of the Shockers Denning Gerig join the podcast to break down the process, whims and philosophy of the non-conference schedule.

We discuss how Wichita State's high number of returners informed scheduling plans and why a move from Nashville to Lexington didn't change Mills' desire to play Kentucky. Home games vs. Boise State and New Mexico are highlights and we dive into their importance to building an NCAA Tournament resume.

We also talk about learning from NBA coaches and Mills' choice for a road arena he would love to visit.

Shocker Madness is Oct. 3 and the 19-game home schedule starts on Nov. 4 vs. vs. Cal State Northridge. For ticket information, visit goshockers.com or call (316) 978-3267.
