South Alabama managed to go 17-11 overall last year with a 10-7 record in the Sun Belt Conference. The Jaguars managed to beat Louisiana-Monroe 80-72 in the Sun Belt Tournament, but fell to Louisiana 79-68 in the Quarterfinals. 

South Alabama didn’t have much trouble against Spring Hill in their opener this year, jumping out to a 52-17 lead at halftime on the way to a 102-41 win. Jay Jay Chandler led the team with 21 points, seven rebounds and three assists. 

Over on the Wichita State side, they’re coming off a 16-6 overall record last year with a 11-2 record in the AAC. The Shockers lost to Cincinnati in the second round of the conference tournament, but earned an invite to the NCAA Tournament First Four. 

Wichita State was down at halftime 27-23 in their opener this week versus Jacksonville State. The Shockers posted 37 points in the second half on the way to a tight 60-57 win. Tyson Etinne led the way on 16 points with four rebounds and three assists. 

The Shockers are 2-5-1 ATS in the last eight Saturday games and 2-6-1 ATS in the last nine after an ATS loss. Wichita Stat his 2-7 ATS in their last nine as a favorite. 

Meanwhile, the Jags are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and 24-10-1 ATS in their last 35 as an underdog. The over is 4-0 in the Jaguars’ last four overall. 

PICK: I’m going to try Wichita State, but probably not touching this one. The Shockers shot a tepid 38.6 percent from the floor in their win over Jacksonville State and made just four of 22 tries from 3-point range. Wichita State was good from the line (12-of-14) and held the rebounding edge 37-31, however. The Shockers are going to need a better shooting effort in this one, but if all goes well I can see them covering without too much difficulty.
