PICK: I’ll stay with Campbell. Not going near it, though; there’s not a whole lot to get excited about here. That said, the Camels still shot pretty well (43.3 percent) in their loss to East Carolina last Friday. Campbell is capable of some big performances against comparable teams: they’ve hit 85 or more in two of their last four games. Evansville should be firmly in the Camels’ wheelhouse of opponents, so I like Campbell to cruise to a cover here.
