Florida Atlantic vs Wichita State Odds, Picks, & Predictions Tonight
Wichita State is in the midst of a horrible run, but with the Owls’ defense looking leaky recently, our college basketball picks expect the Shockers to keep things tight this afternoon.
Their six-game win streak now up in smoke, the Florida Atlantic Owls seek a quick bounce back when they visit the Wichita State Shockers Sunday afternoon at Charles Koch Arena.
While FAU is battling for top spot in the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers are on the opposite end, with just two wins in the AAC.
Still, Wichita State is a distant 7.5-point home dog in the college basketball odds.
Can the Shockers pull off a shocker on Super Sunday? Check out my free college basketball picks for Florida Atlantic vs. Wichita State on February 11.

Florida Atlantic vs Wichita State picks and predictions
Trying to chase down the conference-leading South Florida Bulls, the Florida Atlantic Owls fell off the pace with a 76-73 OT loss to the UAB Blazers.
While they did close a seven-point deficit down the stretch of the second half to force OT, the Owls’ downfall was missing their first six shots of the extra frame, enough for the Blazers to pull away and not look back.
There shouldn’t be much resistance when they line up against the Wichita State Shockers, who are 225th in scoring defense, allowing 73 points per game.
A team that had lost 10 of its last 11, Wichita State took out some of that frustration on USTA, pounding the Roadrunners 84-64. That helped the Shockers shake the stink off of a crushing 65-63 loss the previous game to Memphis, as they surrendered the winning bucket in the final seconds.
In both of the last contests, Wichita State has been successful protecting the rock, posting less than 10 turnovers in back-to-back games.
This will be the second and final regular-season meeting between these teams, with Florida Atlantic coming out on top 86-77 on January 18.
While the Shockers shot an impressive 56.4% from the field — including a sparkling 8-for-18 performance from 3-point range — the Owls did enough of the other things to offset that deficit. FAU doubled up the Owls on the offensive glass while also recording 10 steals and forcing 14 Shocker turnovers overall.
However, Wichita State is a solid 8-3 at home this year. Throw in the fact the Owls are just 2-8-0 against the spread in their last 10, I like the Shockers hanging with a conference heavy at home.
My best bet: Wichita State +7.5 (-110 at DraftKings)
Florida Atlantic vs Wichita State same-game parlay
Wichita State +7.5
Florida Atlantic Over 71.5
Florida Atlantic’s defense isn’t exactly a brick wall, as it allows close to 72 points per game, which ranks 181st in college hoops.
Save for a two-game run vs North Texas and Rice, the Owls have allowed six other teams to top 71.5 points over the last eight games. That’s the number the books have given for Wichita State’s team total Sunday.
I’m sure Florida Atlantic takes care of business against the Shockers but look for a sneaky Shockers cover as the game gets out of reach.

In Switzerland ever since, Ignatavicius has steadily improved with each passing season.
Spending most of the 2025-26 campaign playing against professionals in the National League, he notched 13 points (7G, 6A) in 52 games with Genève-Servette HC. He also suited up in 11 games in the postseason, scoring two goals and dishing out an assist.
During a brief stint in Switzerland’s second-tier league, he was better than a point-per-game player, racking up 11 points (7G, 4A) in eight contests.
“That was a big there,” the 18-year-old forward said of his breakout season. “There we go, and here I am now.”
Catching the attention of scouts across the NHL, Ignatavicius was projected as a possible late-first-round pick by several outlets heading into this weekend.
Making history when the Panthers called his name, he became the fourth Lithuanian to be drafted, joining Darius Kasparaitis, Dainius Zubrus and Andrey Pedan.
“It means a lot to my family and to my country,” Ignatavicius. “It shows little kids that whatever you dream it’s possible. You’ve just got to work for it. When you get your chance, you take it. Don’t give up. Work hard.”
A veteran of 1,293 games in the NHL, Zubrus has been a longtime mentor to his young countryman.
“I’m pretty close with him,” Ignatavicius said. “We text a lot. I’m happy with that and think I can learn a lot from him.”
When it comes to future lessons, he’ll have no shortage of new teachers to work with in South Florida.
Priding himself on playing a physical, relentless style, Ignatavicius models his game after one Panther in particular.
“Matthew Tkachuk,” he said. “I try playing like him, his style. I think he’s a great player and I can learn a lot from him.”
Yet to commit to returning to Switzerland next season, Ignatavicius is still waiting to see where he’ll lace up his skates in 2025-26.
“I’ve just got to focus on my summer and getting better,” he said.
In the immediate future, Ignatavicius will soon board a flight to Fort Lauderdale to participate in his first development camp with the Panthers.
“Florida? Can’t complain much,” he said when asked about his impending trip. “Very happy.”
In between on-ice sessions, maybe Ignatavicius will even find some time to grab a pizza.
If he needs a recommendation, I’m sure Panthers fans will have a few suggestions.
“This is just the beginning,” he said.
A diver who was reported missing near the Fort Pierce Inlet has been found dead, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
The U.S. Coast Guard received a mayday call around 11:30 a.m. June 27 about the missing diver. The Coast Guard then notified the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which deployed four boats to assist in the search, according to a social media post by the Sheriff’s Office. The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office marine unit also responded.
Friends of the missing diver joined the search, departing from Fort Pierce Inlet around 1 p.m.
The search, which included aerial support from the Coast Guard and FWC, focused on an area about six to seven miles north-northeast of the Fort Pierce Inlet, near Avalon State Park.
Around 4:10 p.m., the group of civilian divers entered the water and located the missing diver at the bottom of the ocean in about 55 feet of water. The diver was recovered and pronounced dead.
The body was transported to Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce. The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division is investigating the incident.
