Randy’s Pick

The Utah State Aggies didn’t play anybody in their season opener, so the jury is still out on them. The Bradley Braves just beat UAB as underdogs, and they did by coming back down 11 points with less than 7 minutes left to play. It’s the sort of victory that could have a carry over effect. A shot in the arm. I expect a confident Bradley team coming back home and eager to prove itself against an MWC squad. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with Bradley.
