In their last games Alabama beat Tennessee Tech 65-53 and Wichita State beat Detroit 77-68.

Wichita State has won 22 straight home games and they are big 13-point favorites facing Alabama tonight. Not only have the Shockers won 22 straight, but also 30 straight in their house facing non-conference foes.

These teams both are high scoring ones with WSU ranked 28th in the nation in points per game and Alabama ranking 30th.

Alabama played solid defense in their win over Tennessee Tech, but overall they have the 2nd worst D in the SEC allowing opponents to shoot over 45% from the field.

Alabama will have to be careful with the rock tonight facing a full court pressure defense that the Shockers will use all game.

Bama has to play solid perimeter D tonight, as Wichita State is a solid 3-point shooting team, especially facing leading scorer Ron Baker. Bake struggled with his shot in the Detroit game, but for the season he is shooting nearly 54% from beyond the 3-point arc.

The Shockers are a balanced team that has 4 players averaging in double figures.

Tide leading scorer Levi Randolph did not have a great last game, but 3rd leading scorer Rodney Cooper came up big going for 23 points. 2nd leading scorer Ricky Tarrant was injured in the last game and he is a question mark for tonight’s non-conference match up.

Wichita State beat Alabama in the 2011 NIT championship game and have faced them 3 times since. While the Shockers have won 2 of 3 facing the Tide Bama won the last game between the 2 teams.
