Wichita State Shockers Betting Preview
Over on the Wichita State side, they made some improvements in the record column last year, advancing by four games over the 2023-24 campaign. The Shockers would end up going 19-15 overall with an 8-10 record in the American Athletic Conference. That would give Wichita State a finish ahead of South Florida, Tulsa, UTSA, Rice and Charlotte—near the middle of the pack.

Prairie View A&M vs Wichita State Prediction
I’ll take a stab on Prairie View here. That said, the Panthers’ first two games were relative cakewalks compared to what they’re in store for Saturday. Prairie View blitzed the University of Dallas in their latest matchup, hitting 54.8 percent from the field with a 32-23 rebounding edge and a 48-28 advantage in points in the paint. The Panthers capped it off with 14 steals and just eight turnovers in a nice ball-control game.
As for Wichita State, they started pretty slowly in their opener versus UNC Asheville but really got it going in the second half. The 3-point shooting (25 percent on 4-of-16) and turnovers (14) were just about the only rough spots statistically in the 17-point victory. This is another winnable game for the Shockers, so you wouldn’t be crazy thinking that they’ll run away with this one. I like the Panthers to stay confident and cover, though.
