Randy’s Free Pick
The New Mexico Lobos have been the better team this season overall, but they enter this contest playing subpar ball over the last week. The San Jose State Spartans are playing the better ball right now, and they’re at home, where they win by an average of 9.5 points and allow 38 percent shooting. Give me San Jose State and the small chalk.
