It is possible the Shockers are not the best team in the Valley this season, possible, we will find out as the season progresses.
Evansville has definitely had a tough go of it this season. They have just once conference win and have lost four straight.
Wichita State may be on the road in this one but the opponent works for bouncing back.
Wichita State Shockers
The sky is not quite falling on the Shockers but they had a thud losing at Illinois State over the weekend. The result is they are in second place in the conference.
It is quite clear this is not the same program as it has been the last few seasons but they are averaging a spread of 18ppg so somethings are still working.
Markis McDuffie was expected to build on his freshman performance and he has done so. He is a premier athlete and his numbers would be better if they played him more. Not many leading scorers play only 23 minutes per game.

WSU is not collecting 5 Star prospects but they are getting good production from a couple of frosh.
Darral Willis Jr is second on the team in scoring and first in rebounds while Daishon Smith is steady with the ball and can knockdown threes.
Conner Frankamp has made some big shots but not become the kind of player you would expect from Kansas transfer.
You have to like this team overall. Their vets controlled everything the last few seasons so there were bound to be some hiccups this year.
Evansville Purple Aces
Evansville is not an elite team but their system does allow players to put up numbers. This season the beneficiary is Jaylon Brown.
The senior guard is averaging 20ppg and is a combo guard at best, not a pure point at 6’1″. He and Ryan Taylor form a very potent backcourt averaging 20ppg and 15ppg respectively.
The challenge has been getting production from other sources. They account for more than half the points.

Fortunately the Evansville defense is stingy. They give up only 64ppg. At home they will look to control the pace.
Evansville is expected to be in the middle of the pack in the MVC. They get the Shockers coming off a rare loss but it would be a surprise to see them jump on Wichita State.

It definitely looks like WSU is not going to breeze through the Valley this season. Still this is a game they should bounce back to win.
They are on the road though so Evansville is appealing as a home underdog. That’s a lot of points.
