Wichita State
Moneyline Pick: Wichita State (-165) - B

South Florida’s backcourt has struggled recently with a three-game losing skid, which only deepened after their starting center went down earlier this month, leaving a gap in their interior defence. Wichita State, on the other hand, enters with momentum, having snapped a brief losing patch and leaning on their lightning-quick guard who repeatedly tallies high-scoring performances against South Florida. With both teams having played well over 41 games, postseason stakes loom large, and the Shockers appear poised to capitalize on defensive mismatches and historical head-to-head success. For a moderate payout and decent reliability, Wichita State earns a B grade on the moneyline pick.

Over/Under Pick: Over 143.5, (-110) - B+
South Florida’s top scorer enters this matchup eager to snap a tough three-game losing streak, but the Bulls must cope without their injured starting center, whose sore knee keeps him sidelined. Opposite them, Wichita State rides a two-game winning burst, fueled by a sharpshooting guard who has historically lit up the Bulls with double-digit efforts each time they’ve faced off. Both squads boast respectable offensive firepower when healthy, so betting on the Over holds a strong chance of cashing in at these odds, with a rewarding return for bettors eyeing a bigger purse. Tagline: Expect a flurry of buckets in a thrilling shootout.
Spread Pick: South Florida, +3.5 (-110) - B+
South Florida’s forwards come in hungry despite dropping their last two contests, while Wichita State’s guard rotation has been sliding on a minor losing streak thanks to a lingering ankle concern for one of its top scorers. Having checked rosters, each squad fields most of its usual starters, though the Bulls must adjust for a sidelined sharpshooter. Historically, South Florida has battled fiercely against conference foes, keeping margins tighter than expected in prior matchups. Taking them at +3.5 seems ripe for both a solid chance at covering and a respectable payoff, with a B+ confidence grade indicating the potential to nearly double your stake.
