Randy’s Free Pick

I’m not eager to back either of these subpar teams, but Coastal Carolina was the more impressive team overall and probably should be given the slight edge. The Arkansas State Red Wolves enter the tournament playing rough ball, and they lose as underdogs by an average of 8.7 points. A game I’d stay away from, but the Chanticleers should advance.
