Saint Louis vs Wichita State Prediction

The Saint Louis Billikens are off to a decent start, but they haven’t played anybody, so we’re going to learn a lot in this matchup. I was excited about the addition of Avila, but that season-opening loss to Santa Clara has me questioning things. How long will it take for this group to come together? The Wichita State Shockers are undefeated on the season and their offense is rolling at the moment. I’d need more points to consider Saint Louis. Give me the Shockers in this late-night matchup.
