ANDREW’S FREE PICK

I’m going to take a stab on Seton Hall. You could make a case either way here though, so I’m probably not touching it. The Pirates are playing pretty well over this current 4-1 stretch. They’ve hit 66 or more points in all four of the victories during that time. As for UConn, they’re riding a 1-4 run over their last five, giving up 73 or more points in all four losses. Seton Hall should have some scoring opportunities in this one, and if the Pirates are on point this one will be a high total. Should be an interesting matchup.
