ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll take a stab on Tennessee Tech here. The Eagles are a solid 8-3 over their last 11 games, posting 70 or more points in 10 of those outings. The last time these teams met up back on January 14 at Eblen Center, the Golden Eagles powered out a 71-63 win thanks to a 40-30 run in the second half. Tennessee State is on a hot 4-0 run themselves, with 80 or more points scored in three of those games. I like this one to be fairly close the whole way and a high-scoring affair in the end. Should be a fun matchup to check out.
