Randy’s Free Pick
The Siena Saints are obviously the better, more talented team, but I’m not sure if they’re that much better. Also, while Mount St. Mary’s piled up the losses, this team competes and that includes losing by an average of 3.6 points on the road and in the underdog role. A bounce here or bounce thee, Mount St. Mary’s has a better record. Seven of Mount St. Mary’s last 8 losses have been decided by single digits. Give me the free buckets.
