Randy’s Pick
Two teams playing good ball entering this point and off to fast starts. The difference is the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons are playing better and have been more impressive on both sides of the ball. Fort Wayne also beat a DePaul team that South Dakota lost to. Fort Wayne and its offensive firepower should be the difference in this spot, and it's led by the best player on the court. Assuming the line isn't anything nuts, give me the Mastodons to remain undefeated.
