Pick
I’m not rushing to the window to bet this game, but I’m taking the under here. I just think this total is far too high for a Wichita State game, even at home against Tulane. The last two meetings have been defensive slugfests and I think this one’s going to be no different. In what I think is a first to 70 wins kind of game, I’m siding with the under here.
