NC-Asheville at Wichita State

UNC Asheville suffered on the defensive end in 2024-25, and it didn't get better as the season wore on, as the Bulldogs allowed an average of 81.4 points in their last nine games. They were #299 in the country in field-goal percentage allowed. The Bulldogs hope to get a lift from senior guard DJ Patrick, who played in only three games last season due to an injury. Toyaz Solomon is the lone returning starter after scoring 15.7 points per game last year. UNC Asheville will largely depend on its 3-point shooting to stay a contender in the Big South Conference. The Bulldogs are 8-2-1 OVER their past 11 games as road underdogs of 0-5-6.5 points. Wichita State is counting on transfer Kenyon Giles to make an impact offensively as he made 158 3-pointers in three seasons with Radford and UNC Greensboro. Brian Amukeke shot 41 percent from 3-point range with Fresno State in 2024-25. Take the OVER.
