Wichita State has not fared well as a neutral court underdog of 3.5 to 6 points, going just 1-6 Against The Spread since 1997.
The Shockers managed wins against Creighton, VCU and Southern Mississippi. Ron Baker is averaging 10 points and 3 rebounds since his return from a stress fracture foot injury.
While Pittsburgh managed a win against Georgetown, they did not fare as well against the likes of power houses number one seed Louisville and Syracuse. They are the best rebounding team Wichita will face this season. It should be noted that the Shockers are, themselves, a top rebounding team.
