Wichita State vs. Notre Dame

Guard play can shine this time of the year and Wichita State is special with its three-guard attack. Three guards average over 10+ points behind 6-3 junior Ron Baker (14.9 ppg), junior Fred VanVleet (13.2 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 5.3 apg) and senior Tekele Cotton (10 ppg, 4 rpg), a veteran trio that does it all. This team plays great defense, too, and the Shockers are on a 7-3-1 ATS run, including 35-16-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. The Shockers can play any style and have one of college basketball's most suffocating defenses that will cause problems for the Notre Dame free-flowing uptempo offense. While Wichita lost 1 game a year ago and 4 this season, Notre Dame lost 17 last season. That lone Wichita loss a year ago was to mighty Kentucky in the tournament, 78-76 shooting 55%! The Irish are 1-10 ATS in NCAA Tournament games and 0-4 ATS against the Missouri Valley conference. Play Wichita State.
