Wichita State at Saint Louis

St. Louis is coming off a season where the offense was terrible, finishing #328 in points per game. They have lost two in a row scoring 57 and 46 points. St. Louis is on a 6-0 run UNDER the total, as well as 20-8-1 UNDER in non-conference games. Into town limps Wichita State, a talented team decimated by injuries. They do play good defense for Gregg Marshall on a 2-1 run UNDER the total, but their talent and depth on offense have taken huge hits. Star point guard Fred VanVleet is hobbled by a hamstring, backup Landry Shamet had a stress fracture in his left foot that landed him on crutches and forward Anton Grady may never play the game again after a frightening injury during a tournament in Florida. VanVleet dealt with an ankle injury at the start of the season before the hamstring issue cropped up. He missed the entire Advocare Invitational in Florida -- the Shockers lost all three games -- and was still hobbled in practice this week. His status for Saturday’s game at Saint Louis remains in question. St. Louis is home and the UNDER is 34-15-2 the in the Billikens last 51 Saturday games and this shapes up as a slow paced, defensive duel. Take the UNDER.
