ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’m going to stay with Weber State. Probably avoiding this one, though; it should be a very competitive game and you could make a case either way. That said, the Wildcats were able to eke out a 50-48 win at Dee Events Center on January 21 the last time these teams met up. This one should be close as well, but given Sacramento State’s current 1-7 stretch it’s hard to trust the Hornets on anything. Sacramento State has just 109 combined points over their last two outings, but I like them to take a step forward scoring-wise here. Should be a good game.
