Despite the loss, Wichita State had strong showings from Colby Rogers, who scored 29 points, and Quincy Ballard, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 11 rebounds. Rogers hasn't dropped below 25 points for three straight games.

Despite the defeat, Rice had strong showings from Travis Evee, who scored 21 points along with two steals, and Max Fiedler, who dropped a double-double on 11 points and ten rebounds. Evee is trending in the right direction, as he's improved his point production for three games straight.

The Shockers' loss dropped their record down to 13-18. As for the Owls, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last nine matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 11-20 record this season.

Wichita State is hoping to beat the odds on Wednesday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. For those looking to play the spread, careful betting on Wichita State: they have a less-than-stellar 11-17-1 record against the spread this season.

Everything went Wichita State's way against Rice when the teams last played last Saturday as Wichita State made off with a 87-66 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Wichita State since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
