The Wichita State program has become elite as the Shockers have a combined 230-52 SU record since the start of the 2009 season, and one win in the tourney would give them 30 for the fourth time in five years. Despite all the 30-win seasons, they are just 4-3 SU in their last seven NCAA Tournament games. Dayton owns 24 wins of their own. They also have been under the radar closing the season at 13-6 ATS. The missing ingredient for this Wichita State team is quality wins. They lost to Oklahoma State, Michigan State, and Louisville, the only tourney teams they faced. I think this one is set up for a surprise outcome, and while upsets were lacking Thursday, Dayton has the tools to win this one, and at the very least hang tough. Make the play on Dayton.
