Wichita State Shockers
For a team that uses three, or four, or even five freshman in its rotation, Wichita State has done a nice job in the American Athletic this season.
It hasn’t been the force we have been used to in recent memory but I also wouldn’t expect anything less from Gregg Marshall to get the best out of a young group of players.

WSU pulled out a two-point win earlier this week, at home, against UConn. The two seniors and two top scorers, Markis McDuffie and Samajae Haynes-Jones combined for 39 and a Jaime Echenique, a junior who played two seasons of junior college ball, blocked two shots in 18 minutes.
I mention Echenique because he’s been a force for WSU in the post in the ladder half of this season. He’s blocked nearly three shots per game over his last seven and still has a lot of room to improve going into this senior year next season, just his second for WSU at the D-1 level.
SMU Mustangs
Wichita State has done enough to consider this season a success, given its lack of experience. You can’t really say the same for SMU, which has underachieved and is floundering at 5–10 near the bottom of the AAC.
Senior Jamal McMurray has put up the scoring numbers, both in terms of volume (18 points per game) and efficiency (.515, .386, .823).

The team has also done a nice job of taking care of the ball. Not a single player averages more than two turnovers per game and, at a team, SMU ranks 12th nationally and first in the conference in terms of fewest turnovers committed on offense.
The two teams combined to turn the ball over just 11 times the first time they met, on January 30 in Wichita. The Shockers won an offensive game by two points, overcoming a seven-point halftime deficit.

Free Wichita State Shockers vs. SMU Mustangs NCAAB Prediction: Wichita may not win, but it covers.
I just like a young, upstart team like Wichita State against a lame-duck group like SMU down the stretch. It’s that simple for me.
