Wichita State Shockers vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane 2/5/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The Wichita State Shockers will go against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in NCAAB action in Donald Reynolds Center, DC, on Sunday, February 5, 2023, at 3:00 PM ET.

 

Through its first 15 matches of the season, Wichita State had a dismal record of 7-8 (0-3) overall.

 

The Shockers suffered two of those conference defeats while playing at home, but they recovered with two victories over South Florida and Tulsa.

 

Since then, they suffered three defeats—to Memphis, Tulane, and most recently, No. 3 Houston. However, they performed well away from home, picking up victories against SMU and East Carolina on their most recent road trips.

 

Six of the previous seven encounters between these teams went in favor of Wichita State, including the victory on January 14 by a score of 73-69.

 

The Shockers will be hoping their shooting percentages increase on Sunday because it was a significant area of difficulty for them this year.

 

They shoot just 29.3% of their 3-point tries, ranking 344th nationally, while their total effective field goal percentage ranks 291st.

 

A Tulsa defense that ranks below the top 200 in field goal percentage, turnover rate, and rebounding is unlikely to put Wichita State’s offensive strength of its low turnover rate to the test.

 

Senior guard Craig Porter Jr. adds 12.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, while junior guard Jaykwon Walton paces Wichita State with 13.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

 

  • The total went OVER in 6 of Wichita State’s last 7 matches. 
  • The Wichita State Shockers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 matches against Tulsa. 
  • The Wichita State Shockers are 6-1 SU in their last 7 matches against Tulsa.

Wichita State Shockers vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane Predictions 2/5/2023

 

Tulsa won four non-conference games in its first 6 contests, but even then, it struggled mightily. The Golden Hurricane dropped 10 of their previous 11, with their lone victory coming in extra time against Tulane two weeks ago.

 

Since then, they lost three matches to East Carolina, Memphis, and Cincinnati. In each of those losses, Tulsa failed to cover the spread.

 

The Golden Hurricane shot just 34.6% from the field in their 81-55 defeat against Cincinnati as 16-point underdogs. In that defeat as well, they made a season-low two 3-pointers.

 

The Golden Hurricane’s offensive performance was appalling; they are ranked 236th in effective field goal % (49.4), 215th in turnover rate, and 268th in offensive rebounding percentage.

 

At No. 346 in that area, they have one of the lowest rates in the nation for reaching the charity stripe. The defense was a strong feature for Wichita State, which is ranked 20th in effective field goal percentage and No. 16 in 2-point defense.

 

In this clash, the Shockers hold a sizable height edge. Sam Griffin, a junior guard, tops Tulsa with 15.7 points and 2.8 rebounds, and Bryant Selebangue, a sophomore, adds 12.7 points and 9.6 rebounds.

 

  • The Tulsa Golden Hurricane is 2-14-2 ATS in their last 18 matches. 
  • The total went OVER in 8 of Tulsa’s last 10 matches. 
  • The Tulsa Golden Hurricane is 1-10 SU in their last 11 matches.

One of the worst teams in the nation, and even worse in the betting market, was Tulsa.
