Memphis Tigers vs Wichita State Shockers Odds and Betting Analysis

Pre-bet checklist

From a betting perspective, the moneyline and spread on Memphis are likely to sit in the favorite range, with the Shockers positioned as underdogs getting points. Early market expectations might place a mid-range spread, with live adjustments based on confirmation of lineups and recent performance trends in conference play. Total points will hinge on the clash between Memphis’s potential up-tempo approach and Wichita State’s ability to slow possessions; books may open a moderate to high total, with slight upward movement if recent games for either side have cleared closing numbers.

Memphis is likely to be favored at home due to athleticism, depth, and typical home-court edge in NCAA play, especially if recent form and conference results have been positive. Their ability to generate turnovers and run in transition can create separation over 40 minutes against a Wichita State side that often leans on half-court execution. Even with normal shooting swings, this profile supports a slight edge toward a Memphis home victory rather than an upset road win.
