Don't be SHOCKED by this pick!

Las Vegas - Tulsa and Wichita State both live in the American Athletic Conference and they are VERY familiar with each other. In fact, they've already played three times, with Wichita winning twice. The first meeting was in Tulsa and the Golden Hurricane (-5.5) posted a 93-83 victory. The Over/Under was 154.5 and went way Over. The second meeting was in Wichita and the Shockers (-1.5) picked up an 81-77 win. The Over/Under was 152.5 and went Over again. The third was at a neutral site in the AAC Tournament (Birmingham, Alabama), and Wichita (+1) rolled to an 81-68 W. The Over/Under was 149.5 and went Under by the hook. The Hurricane will have the home court edge in this NIT matchup, but since Wichita State won nine of the last 10, we're gonna throw a tiny little bundle of chips at the Shockers. We bought Wichita at the open at +4.5 points. Looks like it has dropped to +3.5. Still like the Shockers but would thin the bet a bit.
