Pick
I’m leaning UT-Martin here. Not one I’m necessarily rushing to bet, but the Eagles have nothing but pride to play for and their final home game of the season. This game means a lot more to UT-Martin in terms of seeding in the conference tournament, and while I’m not sure they get the outright win here, I think the Skyhawks do enough to keep this one close and give themselves a shot late if nothing else. Give me the Skyhawks and the points.
