PICK: I’m probably staying with Bryant. The Bulldogs were overmatched in their last game versus Cincinnati, shooting just 29.9 percent from the field and getting out-rebounded 56-41. Bryant has had two consecutive outings with rough results, but the Bulldogs will match up much better here. As for Stony Brook, they did a relatively solid job against Yale but normally they’re not a big-scoring team this year. I don’t think they’ll keep up cover-wise.
