Result:
WIN

Wichita State led the Missouri Valley Conference in scoring (81.5 points), and they can play great defense as we saw the last game. The Shockers extended their winning streak to 16 games with Friday's 64-58 first-round win over Dayton, holding the Flyers to season lows in points and field-goal percentage (31 percent). Wichita State is on a 7-3 spread run, plus 8-3 ATS against a team with a winning straight up record. They've covered six of their last seven as an underdog and face a young Kentucky squad that has been overvalued by oddsmakers for a while, on a 6-14 spread run. These teams met in the tourney three years ago in a 78-76 Kentucky win, and this will be another close one. Play Wichita State.
