ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably stay with Fairfield in this one. I could go either way, though. The Stags are coming off a tough road loss to a pretty decent Rider team, and they’re 0-2 in their last pair at home so they could use a good showing here. The good news for Fairfield is that they managed a 63-60 victory the last time these teams met up back on January 26 at Knott Arena. The Stags haven’t hit 70 points for 11 straight games, but they should still be able to manage Mount St. Mary’s. The Mountaineers haven’t been scoring very well themselves; they’ve been above 65 points just once since December 1. This one’s looking like a low total, so taking the Mountaineers seems sensible also.
