ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll stick with Vermont here. The Catamounts played pretty well against a struggling Maine team in their last outing and they should match up well in this one also. Vermont has scored 66 or fewer points in three straight games however, so they’ll want to get the offense moving quickly. As for NJIT, they’ve hit 71 or more points in four straight games and could give Vermont some trouble if they’re playing well. It’ll be an interesting matchup if nothing else.
