ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to stay with Samford in this one. The Bulldogs are looking good over this six-game win streak. They’ve scored 70 or more points in nine straight games and should be able to post a nice total here as well. That said, Samford will need a better effort than the last time these teams met if they’re going to get to a cover. On January 14 at Pete Hanna Center, the Bulldogs barely eked out a 75-74 win after falling way behind 45-31 at the break. I like Samford to get off to a good start here and post a solid bounce-back road cover, though.
