Wichita State Shockers vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Tulsa is one of the most efficient offensive teams in the country, ranking 12th in points per possession and 5th in 3-point shooting percentage at 38.9%. Wichita State generates much of its offense through second chances, rebounding 37.8% of its missed shots as offensive rebounds in games played away from home (4th nationally). However, in what could be a tight game, Tulsa holds a clear edge at the free-throw line, ranking 20th in free-throw shooting percentage at 77.8%, while Wichita State ranks just 320th at 68.2%.

Pick: Tulsa -4 and Over 152.5
Greg’s Handicap: Tulsa -6 and Total 154

Both teams have been strong defensively. St. Joseph’s ranks 49th in points per possession allowed in games played away from home, while New Mexico ranks 46th overall. The Lobos’ strength is perimeter defense, ranking 16th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage at 30.4%, along with 42nd in turnovers per possession forced. St. Joseph’s is more focused on scoring inside, as the team ranks 325th in 3-point shooting percentage (30.9%), but offsets that with solid defense—ranking 53rd in opponent 3-point shooting percentage (31.7%) and 37th in opponent 2-point shooting percentage—despite ranking just 238th in points per possession on offense.

Pick: St. Joseph’s +11.5 and Under 153.5
Greg’s Handicap: St. Joseph’s +9.5 and Total 145.5
