ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably lean toward Campbell here. Also probably not touching this one. The Camels are coming off a loss to a pretty good UNC Asheville team and they’ve been a mixed bag lately. That said, Campbell posted a nice 78-63 win at G.B. Hodge Center on January 11 the last time these teams met up. The Camels overcame a 39-33 halftime deficit in that one as well. As for USC Upstate, they haven’t scored very well lately with 66 or fewer points in six straight games. I like the Spartans to stay close in the first half again here before Campbell eventually pulls away on the cover.
