This is a 10* on WICHITA STATE

When Wichita State left the Missouri Valley to join the American Conference in 2017, Drake was probably like “good riddance.” After all, the Bulldogs had lost 11 straight times to the Shockers. Little did they know - four years later - they’d be running into their old MVC rivals in the “First Four” of the NCAA Tournament. Though these were two of the last teams to make it into the field, both had solid arguments for inclusion. Drake started 18-0 and at the time was the only remaining unbeaten besides Gonzaga and Baylor. Wichita State was regular season champ of the conference that included Houston. But we clearly side with the Shockers on Thursday. Drake has been without two of its top three scorers the last month. We know Roman Penn won’t play and leading scorer ShanQuan Hemphill may not either. Even if Hemphill does play, it will have been over a month since he last saw the court after suffering a broken foot. The Bulldogs have been an ATS machine this year, but it ends Thursday. The Shockers are 15-3 their last 18 games with one of the losses coming by one point. With the line jumping the fence, that’s even more value. Play on WICHITA STATE
