Western Kentucky Hilltoppers vs. Wichita State Shockers Prediction
I’m on Wichita State here. Both of these teams have gone 0-2 in this event so far, but I think Wichita State’s had the tougher tests of the two, while Western Kentucky was involved in some high-scoring games and couldn’t keep up. I think the lack of physicality here for WKU is going to hurt against Wichita State and I think in the end, WKU is in trouble. Give me Wichita State here.
