ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I might take a stab on Rhode Island here. Probably staying away from it, though. The Rams are mired in a rough five-game losing streak right now, however they’ve gone 2-2 in their last four at home and the team was competitive in one of the losses (55-54 versus VCU). As for George Washington, they’re struggling lately as well but still putting up points at a decent clip. If Rhode Island can get off to a good start here and ride the home wave I think they’ve got a good shot at covering.
