The Shockers are a deep team, with six scorers averaging over nine points and a leading scorer averaging a shade under 20 PPG. It's a veteran group comprised of players who have either been in the program or were with major conference programs such as Miami (FL) and Georgia. Wichita State (60th in offensive efficiency) should handle a Hawks squad that's 338th in defensive efficiency.

While a lot of public steam might be on Monmouth given the scoring prowess of Abdi Bashir Jr., the Hawks are too one-dimensional, as only two other players in their rotation score more than 5.5 points per game. By locking up Bashir and Madison Durr (15 PPG), Wichita State will reduce 55 percent of Monmouth's scoring.

The Hawks are 0-4 and just 1-3 ATS, covering just once vs. Rutgers as 22-point spread underdogs. They'll be blown out tonight in Kansas, as Bashir's hot streak will come to an end.
