Tulsa vs Wichita State Prediction

Tulsa is getting the benefit of the doubt because it’s at home, where it was 15-2 SU, but this Wichita State side has 8 road wins. Wichita State is also 22-12 ATS on the season and has covered 7 of its last 10 games. Wichita State just went into Oklahoma State and left with a comfortable victory. Also, Wichita State beat Tulsa twice already this season, which includes an 81-68 beatdown 10 days ago.

This line simply feels disrespectful toward a Wichita State team that’s playing its best ball and dominated the H2H two weeks ago. Home court is the only thing keeping Tulsa alive here and that’s just not enough for me. Give me Wichita State and the points.
