Pick
I’m leaning towards the over here. UAB has been rolling as of late and I expect them to have a lot of success here, but I also think that you’ll see an inspired effort from WKU on senior day. The first meeting was really entertaining back in January and I think we have another fantastic game on tap between these two. Give me the over here.
