PICK: I’m going to try UC Davis in this one, but probably not going near it. The Aggies have been out of action for a couple of weeks and it’s tough telling what they’ll look like when they get back on the court. That said, UC Davis beat a tricky Hawaii team in their last outing and they’ve been decent against comparable teams when they can actually get onto the court. This one’s a dice-roll game and probably one to stay away from, though.
