ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stay with James Madison here. Also probably staying away. The Dukes snapped a four-game winning streak with their road loss to Georgia Southern on Thursday, but they’ve still been scoring pretty well lately. The last time these teams met up back on January 26 at Atlantic Union Bank Center, James Madison powered out a 75-69 win thanks to a 47-37 edge in the first half. Coastal Carolina has continued their losing skid since then; they’ve lost six straight overall and three straight at home. I like this one to be a pretty close matchup, so you could probably make a case either way.
