PICK: I’m going to take a stab on Miami OH. Probably not touching this one, though. The Redhawks have at least been putting up some good offensive numbers lately; they’ve hit 69 or more points in seven straight games but are still coughing up a ton on the other side. The last time these teams met back on January 29, Eastern Michigan pulled off an 85-75 victory at home. I like this one to be another fairy high-total affair, with Miami OH powering out the revenge cover. Should be a fun matchup.
