Don't look away from the NIT!

Las Vegas - Let the Madness begin. Not interested in either of the First Four NCAA games tonight, so we'll swing over to the NIT and throw a little two team 6-point teaser on the table. Start in Kansas, where Wichita State has won nine of the last 11 with the two losses coming against USF. The Shockers have also won eight of the last nine at home while Wyoming has only two wins in the last 10 games on the road. No shock that we're dropping Wichita from -6 to a pick'em against the Cowboys. Then we move out to California for the UC-Irvine/UNLV game. Irvine has won five of the last six down the stretch and seven of the last at home. Gotta take the Anteaters, yeah, one of my fav nicknames, from -2 to +4 points against Vegas.
