Result: Win

Taking WICHITA here. Was looking to maybe playing on the home pups here. They were up 16 before losing to 11 last game at Bradley. But that is what a young team does. And Northern Iowa is young with just a lone senior starter. Being home might help, but the Shockers are a solid ball-club. This team isn't go to wither on the road. WSU should be able to control the glass and limit Northern Iowa, who loves the 3 ball, to many 1 and done opportunities. As a 2.5 favorite last year, Shockers came in here and smoked that better Panther team by 18. Shockers get it done here. 4* WICHITA STATE
