ANDREW’S FREE PICK

I’ll probably stick with Cal Baptist in this one. It’ll be interesting to see what the Lancers look like after a week off; I think the rest will do the team some good. Cal Baptist beat a pretty good Grand Canyon team their last time out. The Lancers have scored 67 or more points in four straight games, going 3-1 in that time. Another nice offensive effort out of Cal Baptist and they’ll be in good shape cover-wise against Tarleton State on Saturday.
