Wichita State Shockers vs. Memphis Tigers Prediction

Analyzing the matchup, Memphis holds several advantages. They have a veteran-laden squad with seven of their top eight players being seniors, providing experience and composure in high-stakes games. Their offense is potent, averaging 80 points per game and ranking seventh nationally in three-point percentage at 38.8%. Guard PJ Haggerty leads the AAC in scoring with 21.2 points per game and contributes significantly in assists and steals.

Wichita State's strength lies in their rebounding, leading the AAC in total rebounds and ranking third in offensive boards. This could exploit Memphis' vulnerability in rebounding, as the Tigers rank 341st out of 364 Division I teams in offensive rebounds allowed per game. The Shockers' ability to dominate the glass could keep them competitive in this matchup.

Considering these factors, while Memphis is favored and has the offensive firepower to secure a win, Wichita State's rebounding prowess and recent success against the spread as underdogs suggest they could cover the 9.5-point spread. Therefore, the recommendation is to consider betting on Wichita State to cover the spread, with Memphis likely advancing to the next round.
