Rice vs. Wichita State

The AAC first round will feature 11-20 Rice vs. 13-18 Wichita St. Both these teams are off bad seasons, but someone will advance and keep their season alive. The Owls have been starved for offense most of the season, and it has gotten worse down the stretch. Rice comes in on a four game losing streak where they have averaged just 57 PPG. Wichita St. was playing high scoring games as they opened the season at 12-4 to the OVER, but shortly after conference play began things changed, as the Shockers closed the season at 10-4 to the UNDER in their last 14 games. Rice has payed to a 9-1 mark to the UNDER when they are playing with revenge for a 20-plus-point blowout loss. I like this game to stay UNDER the total.
