Ohio State Buckeyes vs Wichita State Shockers Point Spread Picks

Wichita State has surprised to arrive at the Elite 8 as a No. 9 seed, but what they have been able to do is run their stuff, and be consistent in scoring. The Shockers have gone for 70+ in all three games thus far. They have done so vs. a strong defensive Pitt team, as well as a No. 1 seed in Gonzaga. Ohio State won eight straight games to get to the Big Dance, and in those eight they held opponents to 60 points or less in all of them. This is not the Big-10, which has always been a half-court league, and the difference has shown in the tourney. All three of the Ohio St. opponents have reached the 70-point mark. Wichita St. has a good chance to become the fourth, as the Shockers have been 5-1 to the OVER in their last six vs. a team with a winning percentage of greater than .600. The Buckeyes have played 20-8 to the OVER in their last 28 NCAA Tournament games. Play the OVER.
