ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably take a stab on Texas-Arlington here. We should have a competitive matchup regardless, though. The Mavericks are coming off a nice win over a pretty good Sam Houston State team, and they’ve scored 66 or more points in five straight outings. The last time these teams met up was back on December 29 in a 70-63 Texans win from Wisdom Gymnasium. If TX-Arlington can get off to a good start in this one (they managed only 16 first-half points last time) I think they’ll be in line for a cover/win.
