ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’m going to stay with South Dakota State. The Jackrabbits are on a nice 4-1 run right now and didn’t have too many issues with South Dakota in their last outing. South Dakota State has been all over the place scoring-wise lately, but they’ve hit 71 or more points in three of their last five outings. As for Omaha, they’ve scored fairly consistently themselves lately but haven’t hit 70 points in four of their last five. I like this one to be a fairly high total with South Dakota State powering out the eventual cover.
