ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stick with St. Francis BK in this one. Also probably staying away, though. The Terriers have been a mixed bag lately, but they’ve won four of the last six outings. The offense hasn’t exactly been spectacular, though; St. Francis BK has 64 points or fewer in four straight games. The last time these teams met up, St. Francis PA pulled off an 87-61 victory at DeGol Arena back on January 20. I like the Terriers to play better in this rematch and power out a cover/win, but you could probably make a case either way.
