Chris’ Pick
I’m backing Davidson at home here. The Wildcats are just the much-easier and more consistent team offensively and have had more success against a much-tougher schedule. Boston U just hasn’t been able to keep up offensively for much of the year and I think the Bryant result was an anomaly more than anything else. Give me the Wildcats here.
