ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably stick with Jackson State. You could make a good case either way, though; this should be a fun matchup. The Tigers are currently on a 4-1 run with 69 or more points scored in each of the wins. Jackson State didn’t play all that well the last time these teams saw each other back on January 14 at William Nicks Building, however. That one ended up being a 59-50 Panthers win after a 26-14 first-half advantage. Speaking of Prairie View, they’re on a three-game win streak themselves with 67 or more points scored in each outing. I like a competitive, back-and-forth matchup here with an eventual Tigers cover/win.
