#858 Wichita State +5.5 over SMU 2:00 PM CT
The current state of the Wichita State program is unrecognizable from the squad that was a NCAA Tournament staple a decade ago. Paul Mills did a tremendous job at Oral Roberts and should be trusted to get things right for the Shockers, even if his first season is proving to be a difficult transition. The 0-6 AAC record has come through a tough path already facing North Texas, Memphis, and FAU, while five of six ACC losses have come by single-digit final margins including losses by four and two in the last week. The 3-point shooting numbers have been poor for Wichita State, but this is a decent rebounding and interior scoring squad and the defense will likely rank better by season’s end than the current AAC numbers suggest as allowing 112 points to Memphis in mid-January is weighing heavily on the numbers. SMU is 4-2 in AAC play but none of the wins have substance going 3-0 at home in conference play but with no top 100 wins. SMU has only one top 100 win all season long and is yet to play AAC favorite FAU. The Mustangs have struggled with turnovers and are one of the worst outside shooting teams in the conference and this is a second straight road game for a team that is only 2-3 S/U on the road this season. Wichita State won S/U in both meetings last season and has gone 7-1 S/U in this series since joining the AAC with the last loss back in January 2018.
