ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’m going with Boise State here. The Broncos had a slow start against a good New Mexico team in their last outing, but to their credit Boise State rebounded in the second to make it a four-game win streak. The Broncos have scored 73 or more points in all four of those games. The last time these teams met back on January 3 at ExtraMile Arena was a close affair. The Broncos jumped out to a 41-29 halftime lead but had to scramble for an eventual 67-64 win. I like a better effort in the rematch as Boise State pulls off the cover.
