ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going to take a stab on Portland here. The Pilots are sitting on a three-game losing streak, but they’ve been fairly competitive in comparable matchups lately. Portland has been scoring well with 80 or more points in five of their last six games. As for Pacific, they lost 81-73 the last time these teams met up back on February 9 at Chiles Center. I like this one to be a pretty close outcome, so you could probably make a case for the Tigers. It’ll be a fun game to watch.
