ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to stick with Fairfield in this one. We should have a fairly well-balanced matchup here, though. The Stags have won three straight, though they haven’t cracked 67 points in any of those outings. Fairfield shouldn’t have to score a ton in order to cover here, however; Mount St. Mary’s hasn’t hit 60 points during this current 1-4 stretch. If Fairfield plays well I think they’ll cover/win but it’s a coin flip.
