Memphis at Wichita State picks and predictions
Prediction
Memphis 84, Wichita State 77
Moneyline
PASS.
Memphis is the better side, so it should come out on top, but it is too expensive to play on the moneyline.
Against the spread
LEAN MEMPHIS -4.5 (-110).
Neither the Tigers or Shockers have covered well as of late. However, the Tigers have been given bigger spreads when the Shockers have just been asked to win.
Memphis has failed to cover 5 in a row, being a 7-point or greater favorite. It is 1-2 ATS this season as a favorite of 0-5. The Shockers have been an underdog of 0-5 twice and have failed to cover both times. They have failed to cover 7 straight as well.
While the Tigers aren't a very enticing play, take them to cover. Back MEMPHIS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under
BET OVER 155.5 (-110).
Both teams like to run and score and play little defense, which has been a recipe for success throughout the season for the Over. The Shockers are 8-6 O/U on the season and 8-4 O/U in their last 12.
The Tigers are 10-5-1 O/U on the season and have gone Over in 3 of their last 5, posting a 3-1-1 O/U record. They have tallied at least 80 in 4 of their last 9. Expect a high-pace game and back OVER 155.5 (-110).
