Pick
I’m leaning towards UMBC here. Not one I’m rushing to bet, but the Retrievers were far better at home this season and they were far more effective in the meetings between these two teams in the meeting at UMBC, a game the Retrievers won by 14 points. I don’t envision the Bearcats having a ton of success in this game, so give me the Retrievers laying the points if forced to pick.
