PICK: I’m going to try CSU Fullerton here. This should be an interesting matchup regardless, though. The Titans shot well in their loss to San Jose State, notching 52.9 percent from the field with 18-of-21 from the line. CSUF couldn’t take advantage of the Spartans’ mistakes, though.
As for George Washington, they looked fairly solid in their first two games but posted a dud against UCSD. I like the Colonials to bounce back and be competitive here but miss out on a cover.
