ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stick with UNC Greensboro here. The Spartans are on a nice 7-1 run right now, and they’ve hit 68 or more points in nine of their last 12 outings. UNC Greensboro has also held opponents to just 108 combined points in the last two games. As for East Tennessee State, they’ve hit 67 points or fewer in three of the last four games but they can score pretty well in the right matchups. That said, I don’t think the Buccaneers will keep the pace in this one.
