These two have no recent meetings to consider for tonight. Wichita State has been a little tough to predict at the betting window, but the Shockers have played some very good competition this season. A game with Arkansas State will be a needed break. The Shockers have dominated other lesser opponents this year and I think they do the same tonight. The public betting is slightly with Arkansas State, but I think the Shockers get the job done.
