Wichita State vs. Kansas CBB Prediction:
Wichita State looks to get back in the win column, while Kansas is seeking their eighth straight victory.
Give me the Jayhawks here. Wichita State doesn’t shoot the ball very well, they produce a lot of second chances, but I don’t expect to happen versus the Jayhawks. Kevin McCullar has been playing at a very high level and Hunter Dickinson is always tough to deal with. The Jayhawks have to many weapons for the Shockers to hang around in this game. Lay the number.
