Austin Peay vs Wichita State Prediction

I’m thinking Wichita State here. The Shockers have just one blemish on their card in three games so far, a seven-point loss to USC in which Wichita State didn’t play so well. The good news is that the Shockers came back for a blowout win over Friends in their latest game, posting a nice 69 percent shooting from the field and an insane 68 percent (17-of-25) from outside on the way to the victory.

As for Austin Peay, they’ve got two wins in three games so far this year but both have come in pretty easy matchups versus Lane College and Livingstone. In the Livingstone game on Tuesday, the Govs didn’t have too many issues powering out a 21-point victory thanks to 46 percent shooting from the field and just 31 percent allowed on defense. Austin Peay did miss quite a few free throws however (21-of-37 for 57 percent) and coughed up a whopping 19 turnovers along the way. Saturday’s game is obviously going to be much, much tougher.
