Missouri State at Wichita State

The Wichita State Shockers were off to a 1-2 start, and appeared poised to be a factor in the NCAA Tournament. They have really struggled of late, having lost their last three games - all to unranked teams. The margin for error for this team simply does not match up with the hefty line here, as the shockers have won just 1 of their last 12 games by more than 12 points. At 7-17 Missouri State is not having a good season, but in their last seven games they have lost just one by more than 14 points, and that includes games vs. Indiana State, Creighton, and this Wichita St. team. The Shockers are not playing well enough to justify this hefty number while Missouri St. may be losing, but are not getting blown out. Play on Missouri St.
