ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’m going to take a stab on San Jose State here. The Spartans are coming off a nice overtime win over a good Boise State team, despite starting off a little slow. San Jose State has now hit 68 or more points in four of their last five games, and they’ll probably need a decent amount of offense to keep Colorado State at bay. The Spartans managed a 78-70 win the last time these teams met up back on New Year’s Eve at Moby Arena. San Jose State closed well in that one with a 45-34 advantage in the second half. This rematch should be pretty competitive as well, and I like the Spartans on a cover.
