There is no home-court edge for either team playing in San Juan, Puerto Rico. You don't win 29 games by being soft defensively and that's what Wichita did last season. Wichita State won 25 and 24 games before Selection Sunday, finishing second in the Missouri Valley both seasons with an RPI rank in the top 60. They do it with a tough defense in the paint and on the perimeter. That defense pays dividends away from home, as the UNDER is 6-0 in the Shockers’ last six neutral-site games. They face a Colorado team that lost four key leadership players from a year ago. This is the first game for these teams that are playing three games in three days, so I can't see an up-tempo game in this one, especially with Wichita State controlling the tempo. The UNDER is 15-5-1 in the Shockers’ last 21 neutral-site games as a favorite and 7-3 UNDER the total in their last 10 overall. Play the UNDER in this one.
