ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably stick with Tulane here. It’s a real toss-up, though. The Wave had a bad second half versus Temple in their last game, but to their credit Tulane still stuck out the victory. It’s been a pretty nice scoring run for Tulane lately, with 68 or more points in 10 of their last 11 games. As for Wichita, they’re 3-1 in their last four games and have scored 69 or more points in all three of those wins. These teams have met up twice this year, with the road team winning each time. Tulane got a 95-90 victory back on January 25, and Wichita State returned the favor with an 83-76 result on February 26. This one should be close as well; I’m leaning Tulane but I could probably go either way.
