What to Know
The North Texas Mean Green will square off against the Wichita State Shockers on the road at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Charles Koch Arena.
The Mean Green beat the Sam Houston Bearkats 65-55 on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Wichita State strolled past the Alcorn State Braves with points to spare on Tuesday, taking the contest 82-63. Four players on Wichita State scored in the double digits: forward Morris Udeze (15), forward Kenny Pohto (14), guard Ricky Council IV (12), and guard Dexter Dennis (11). Pohto hadn't helped his team much against the Norfolk State Spartans on Saturday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
North Texas is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Tuesday might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
Their wins bumped North Texas to 6-3 and Wichita State to 8-2. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when the Mean Green and the Shockers clash.
