Wichita State is 22-10 overall, 13-5 in the AAC, and the 2nd seed in the tournament. The Shockers are on the bubble, but can erase all those worries with a win today. For More March Madness Betting Odds and Predictions, see the Full Hub".
Kenyon Giles is the guy for Wichita State. He just broke his own program record with seven threes against Tulsa and is averaging roughly 19.4 ppg on the season. Can he lead them to a tournament birth?
USF is 24-8 overall, 15-3 in the AAC, and the 1st seed in the tournament. They are in a similar situation as Wichita State for the big dance. A win means they're in, but a loss puts it into the committee's hands.
USF is the AAC's best team and is playing the best basketball of its season. Ten straight wins, 22 points off turnovers against Charlotte, and three different players capable of dropping 24 on any given night. They also have Izaiyah Nelson on the roster, the AAC Player of the Year at roughly 15.8 ppg and 9.8 RPG. Will the Shockers be able to overcome all of USF's momentum?
Wichita State vs USF NCAAB Pick will be an intense battle. We just think USF has too much going for them. A deep roster, the best player in the conference, and a great coach. Wichita did get the best of them in January, and we can see this being a close game. We think the best bet for this game is going with USF on the moneyline.
