Wichita State hopes to stay perfect
The Wichita State Shockers (3-0; 3-0 ATS; 2-1 O/U) started their 2025-26 campaign with a three-game homestand. After a couple of wins over UNC Asheville, 75-58, and Prairie View A&M, 105-62, in the opening week, the Shockers routed Loyola Chicago 95-74 this past Thursday.
The Shockers committed a paltry two turnovers against Loyola Chicago. They went 16-for-32 from deep while outscoring the Ramblers 34-24 in the paint. Senior guard Kenyon Giles led the way with 24 points (7-for-8 from deep), while junior center Will Berg double-doubled with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

In the offseason, the Shockers rebuilt their roster completely. Giles arrived from UNC Greensboro, where he was tallying 15.3 points per game, while Berg transferred from Purdue. Wichita State scores 110.4 points per 100 possessions (97th in the country) and allows 104.6 points in return (124th).
Boise State has won three straight, too
The Boise State Broncos (3-1; 2-1 ATS; 1-2 O/U) opened the season with a shocking 79-78 home loss against the Division II Hawaii Pacific. Since then, the Broncos have won three straight home tilts versus Utah Valley 101-77, UT Rio Grande Valley 85-65, and Montana State 62-58.
Last Saturday, the Broncos barely outlasted the Bobcats as 16.5-point favorites. Boise State made just 33.3% of its field goals (8-for-28 from deep) but went 20-for-22 from the foul line. Senior forward Javan Buchanan led the charge with 19 points and nine rebounds, while senior guard Dylan Andrews tallied 10 points, five boards, and five assists.
The Broncos returned 45.2% of minutes played and 42.3% of scoring from their 2024-25 roster, and junior forward Andrew Meadow leads the way with 15.8 points and 4.8 boards per game. Boise State scores 114.3 points per 100 possessions (56th in the country) and yields 99.6 points in return (43rd).
Wichita State vs. Boise State Pick
Spread Pick for Wichita State vs. Boise State
- Wichita State (4 units)
This game will be a joy to watch. The Shockers’ offense has been terrific through the first three games of the season, and it will be properly tested in this matchup. Wichita State is 23rd in the country in 3-point percentage (42.3%) and 14th in offensive rebound percentage (43.4%), while Boise State ranks ninth in defensive rebound percentage (80.4%) and 82nd in opposing 3-point percentage (28.3%).
The Shockers will struggle to cope with the Broncos’ length, but Wichita State’s pace will cause trouble for Boise State. Hereof, I expect to see a tight battle down the stretch. The Shockers take good care of the ball, and I think their offense is good enough to keep them in this game.
Over/Under Pick for Wichita State vs. Boise State
- Over (4 units)
The Broncos lean on their defense and don’t like to play fast. They register 69.4 possessions per 40 minutes (265th in the nation). The Shockers record 71.0 possessions per 40 minutes (163rd), mostly thanks to their strong offensive rebounding, but they will have to speed things up a bit in this game. As I noted, the Broncos have a height advantage, so the Shockers will have to force their rivals to run up and down the floor.
I will lean on the Shockers’ offense once more and take the over. Four of Wichita State’s previous five games have gone over the total. On the other side, the under is 14-6 in Boise State’s previous 20 contests.
