What to Know
The Wichita State Shockers' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Alcorn State Braves at 8:02 p.m. ET Dec. 14 at Charles Koch Arena. The Shockers are out to keep their four-game home win streak alive.
Wichita State strolled past the Norfolk State Spartans with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the contest 71-58. Wichita State's forward Morris Udeze looked sharp as he had 16 points along with seven boards.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 77-45, which was the final score in Alcorn State's tilt against the Houston Cougars last week. Guard Byron Joshua had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 25 minutes but putting up just four points on 2-for-10 shooting.
Wichita State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 20.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-4 against the spread when favored.
Wichita State is now 7-2 while Alcorn State sits at 1-7. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Shockers have only been able to knock down 40.10% percent of their shots, which is the 28th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. The Braves have had an even harder time: they have only been able to knock down 37.40% percent of their shots, which is the lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It could be a slow night.
