ASA free play on: Wichita State -2.5 over Cincinnati, 4:30 pm ET

We like the spot to fade the Bearcats and play on the Shockers. Wichita has three losses on the season, but they are to some of the better teams in college hoops, Missouri, Oklahoma State and most recently Houston. The Shockers lost by 7-points at Houston in their most recent game and the Cougars are outstanding. Wichita State is ranked 55th in offensive efficiency at 1.060PPP and 82nd in defensive efficiency allowing just .946PPP. Cincinnati has a slight edge defensively compared to Wichita State with a DEFF of .931PPP (64th) but the Bearcats offense averages 1.015PPP which ranks 117th. Cincinnati is especially bad at shooting the 3 at 28% which is 320th in the nation. The Bearcats had lost five in a row before upsetting SMU in their game on Thursday. Cincy is just 2-11 ATS their last 13 games versus a team with a winning record. The Shockers are 43-11 SU at home since 2017 with an average winning margin of +11PPG. The Shockers have also won 20 of their last thirty-one games when coming off a loss.
