ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably take a stab on Hofstra here. I could also go either way on this one. We should have a good matchup on our hands. The last time these teams met up back on January 16, the Tigers took a 68-47 win at SECU Arena. Towson didn’t have a ton of issues in that one, as Hofstra had a rough offensive outing. That’s the only game the Pride has lost in their last seven outings; they’ve hit 70 or more points in the other six games. I like Hofstra to rebound from their bad showing and get some revenge in this rematch.
