ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stay with Quinnipiac. The line may be a little too thick to mess with, though. The Bobcats have lost just one of their last nine games, and they’ve scored 66 or more points in seven of those. Quinnipiac wasn’t quite so dominant the last time these teams met up on January 15 at Knott Arena however, winning by a modest 58-51 margin. As for Mount St. Mary’s, they’ve been struggling with just one win in eight games. This is going to be another tough matchup for the Mountaineers and I don’t think they’ll keep the pace.
